Ticketmaster’s main rival, with exclusive venue deals of its own and lawsuits over late-disclosed fees.

Self-serve events and ticketing—easy for organizers until fees, feature tiers, and payout rules become the product.

Secondary ticket marketplace—liquidity and buyer protection on one side, fees and volatile pricing on the other.

High fees, poor transparency, and an illegal monopoly leave fans worse off than a competitive market would.
