No (at least in the US) - it’s because of exclusive contracts with the ticketing platforms.

Whereas you can list on RA and other platforms too, the biggest clubs and venues get lucrative deals with eg AXS to only list tickets on their platform.

That's ticketing. There's plenty of listings on RA that don't use RA's ticketing service.

Large promoters that use or have exclusivity deals with AXS or Ticketmaster/LiveNation or Dice still advertise/promote on platforms like Facebook/Instagram, EDM Train, Radiate, etc alongside the ticketing platform's promotion platforms.
