Wait until you find out that Liberty Media owns F1 and also owns Live Nation/Ticketmaster.
Do it!
Can they also investigate Ticketek whilst they’re at it?
Ticketek are currently telling me I have a dead relative and they need my bank details for estate proceeds. Except the email came from a Russian email account (Yandex – they’re the Russian equivalent of Yahoo!). I know this because I set up a unique email address per specific relationship/use e.g. ticketek@mydomain.com
This means Ticketek are compromised (inside job, security fail or explicitly sold our data to the dark markets).
Heads up for anyone that cares…
Why not. The muso’s are already not making a cent out of the livelihoods, so of course the lawyers need to get in on the music industry gravy train to soak up any left over funds before those “lazy layabout” muso’s get enough to splash out on something more than a packet of 2min noodles.
Not to say something dosent need to be done to real in the scum that are “Live Nation”, but adding a huge class action that will really only pas out lawyers pockets and add a huge debt live Nation will calculate as needing paying off prior to any cash flows to musicians may not be the best way to do it.
