Comment on A few thoughts on Ticketmaster and Taylor Swiftparent

So the second thing we need is transparent pricing. There should be absolutely no fee sharing between Ticketmaster and artists because that's what happens now.

Oh, it's not just artists who share in the fees. There's a bunch of different stakeholders, none of which trust each other. This is why, in a way, the fees do represent transparent pricing. Sure, it doesn't seem transparent for the consumer, but for all those different stakeholders, it makes it very transparent, right at the time of the ticket sale, how much their cut of the money is.
