Ah, yeah. I’m just hoping the justice dept breaks them up and ticket sales move to something like the airline model.

Why though? Lord knows I hate Ticketmaster as much as everyone else but “airline model” sounds fucking terrible. I hope I never see the day where I’m removing belts and shoes to get into a concert.
To be fair though I always get at least somewhat reasonable concert prices by doing presale. Sign up for the artist’s “presale club” and/or get the credit cards that have presale as a perk. Get in queue ahead of time. You won’t have to deal with the dynamic pricing/public sale shenanigans that we hear about. On Reddit I often see people complaining about paying at least 2x what I paid for similar tickets.

Belts and shoes doesn't have much to do with ticket sales, does it?

I was just going to ignore it since they obviously missed the point entirely (and it's not a hard one to get) or were being disingenous.
