Buying Concert Tickets Online is Still a Hellscape

On today’s episode, Rachelle Hampton is joined by Justin Richmond,
co-host of the music podcast Broken Record and host of the new
podcast Started From the Bottom. The two discuss what, if anything,
has changed with the online ticketing giant Ticketmaster since
ticket sales for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour dominated headlines. How
did Ticketmaster come to account for 70% of the ticketing and live
event market? Now that it does, what responsibility do artists have
to their fans to keep ticket prices accessible? Can real lasting
change be made to system that most agree is broken? This podcast is
produced by Se’era Spragley Ricks, Daisy Rosario, Daniel Schroeder
and Rachelle Hampton. Make an impact this Earth Month by helping
