Should also point out that the music industry has historically discriminated against non-white artists, often getting contracts for disproportionately less than their white counter parts.
My point is not that Ticketmaster is necessarily being racist vs. purely monopolistic, but that the music industry is subject to the same bad rich people behaving poorly because they can.
Anyone who thinks once you have a record contract you don't have any more problems just isn't paying attention.
