Props to Clyde, very well articulated.
Go Clyde.
All involved should have their costs covered before any profits are considered. Lawrence is amazing and mad respect to them for taking this stand*.
Clyde speak the truth brotha!
Yes. This, thank you for yourselves and your fans.
Thank you Lawrence for saying and asking for the truth🎉❤
Yesss go off 🙌
Well said Clyde!!! Something has to be done!!!
keep fighting bro🙌🏻
Hell YESSSSS CLYDE ❤❤❤❤
Well said. I hope things change for the better.
It's about time
Well said
This is why I didn’t buy anything at the concert venue. I’ll buy merch from website! Want to support y’all!
Me too, just got my Lawrence jersey 👍🏽
Go Clyde!
Never heard of the band but well spoken!
Have a listen, they're great
Look em up, you won't regret it!
It’s all wild, but they take a % of merch sales too?
I also am here like..wait..what?
Say it louder for the ppl in the back!!!
Letsgo Clyde ! ✊brillantly explained
Well said Clyde!
TELL'EM!!!
Amazing questions
Preach!
👏🏼
👏 👏 👏
So articulate - perfectly explained… Yet it’s still so very wrong. As an independent contractor, Fitness instructor, I can relate. And I am riled UP for you, and all of the other Fabulous musicians out there.
Incredibly straight ahead. It's simple math, so why doesn't it add up LiveNation? Ticketmaster?
🐐
There is a simple answer: As a monopolist, they have the power.
I just recently learned that the American market is held captive by monopolists. (That is the difference between an unregulated and a free market.) Our German press just reported that Taylor Swift's European concerts are overrun by her American fans. For the price of an American ticket they get a European ticket plus a nice visit to a major European cuty.
JEFF SAID THAT YOUU SAID THAT
JEFF SAID THAT YOUUUU SAID THAT YEAHH
They get 12 of a 40$ ticket. Should be the other way round!
They need to fix the music industry all the way around.
FLN.
Ask JAY Z😮
🤦🏿♂️Not RocNation
What happened with Lawrence and Jay Z? This is the second time that I read a comment like this
Don’t get into biz w greedy crooks.
$12 to the people who went to music school.
$30 to the people who went to business school.
Yeah that makes sense
Web3 will be the end of Ticketmaster
BS man. Stop using ticketmaster. Sell the tickets at the door on the night of the show, first come first served. Sell tickets to 2nd show to the people that don't get in on first night.
That doesn’t work because ticket master has exclusivity to many large venues in the US
@@chrisjohnsondoesstuff4597 I heard about that, I believe they own some also. But they can't have ALL the venues locked up there must be some available. It wouldn't take long nor much organization for the bigger acts to shut down the monopoly. I wouldn't expect a band like Lawrence to take on the battle, but smaller draws can be more flexible with the venues they choose.
they control at least 70% of the major venues. The only way it would work is if the PEOPLE stopped buying the tickets in protest, but that won't happen because people would rather support ticketmaster than not go to a concert.@@eddyaceti6576
In France we can sometimes avoid them by paying directly with the room, but it's rare.
For example, Hiatus Kaiyote will perform in Paris @ Salle Pleyel in October. It was possible to buy the tickets with the room's website before the tickets went on sale with TM.
Still, I don't know if the room is not giving them money with that process.
I remember that in the late 90's, when a band was touring, they were making good money with the tickets sale and everything was way more cheaper.
Ummm because instead of going to music school they went to business school. That’s why you’re playing the music that their business sells.
And … that’s ok??
Makes sense. Starve the source of your product. Business 101. 🙄
Labels, and ESPECIALLY performance sales organizations like Ticketmasker, should remember that they are the ones who are dispensable in the equation. It would seem that they may be aware of this, considering the way they're clutching their pearls over the idea of ang regulation being imposed on them. But they're certainly not making the smart move, which would be cooperating with regulation discussions and trying to make sure the artists are kept happy... But of course they wouldn't do that, because it would decrease their profit margins, and America won't stand for that because we need our rich getting richer and the middle class to fully dissolve into memory.
But at the end of the day, musicians can keep playing (and often make MORE money touring) without labels and music-adjacent scam artists... Ahem... Sorry, "businesses" (which are often completely unnecessary operations posing as "convenience services," the current iterations of which are neither convenient nor properly servicing either the artists or the fans). The same is not true the other way around: without the product to sell, they have no business to operate.
They're glorified promoters, who weaseled their way into profitability by becoming planned monopolies and utilizing buy-out practices which have been consistently found to be in violation of labor and business practice standards in other industries, and which are supposed to be illegal for a reason. Ticketmaster could shut down tomorrow and it would have a pretty insubstantial effect on the majority of the industry long-term. If the artists all went on strike, however, their entire infrastructure would collapse, and thousands and thousands of self-important MBAs would be flooding the job market.
Sounds like healthy and stable market conditions to me... 🤦🏼
🎉
Ticketmaster and the like are all disgusting corporations that really have not right or need to exist. Artist and the actual venues should be able to seek there tickets directly to the audience these are the only three parties needed for that transaction. Hopefully they are bankrupted soon. There ceos should be investigated for fraud as well.
