Why some major artists are suddenly canceling shows, and in some cases entire tours
There are several reasons to point to, including that consumers are simply having to make some tough choices about how to spend their money right now.

No one is selling out shows right now unless you're Taylor or Beyonce....not because they don't have fanbases but because LiveNation and Ticketmaster have price gouged the average ticket price hence the DoJ lawsuit.
Interesting. Why did metro choose to respond to this
1. He’s white
2. His shows are $19

I have no clue who this man is...I thought this thread might be about Russell Simmons or Westbrook, but I didn't know why they'd be selling tickets for somethingI can't name a Russ song. Only one I remember is the song with Bia and I don't know what it's called
Would Italians let a black man become a popular italian singer and then let him get away with talking shyt about how italian singers operate?
We’ve lost the plot.
When I saw Russ, I was thinking about Westbrook and Wilson

Is he really as popular as he’s saying? I haven’t heard a song from him in years

It's a combination of things, but Ticketmaster/Live Nation are at the top of the list. Ticket prices are absolutely fukking insane right now, and concertgoers are forced to be more selective than they've been in a while if they're going to something that isn't a festival.
If this is a case where he's getting at Metro Boomin', I don't necessarily agree with the streams being fake argument, but I'd definitely say that this was a case of overestimating demand. Those two albums weren't strong enough to launch a tour off of, if we're being honest.

The price gouging has always existed. Even 25 years ago, if you paid for a ticket, you got hit with a 25% markup in fees. That isn't new.
The lawsuit is about the merger/monopolization, which was frowned upon then. One was essentially a promoter, and the other is a ticket company...but everything goes through them. So, they've shut down most of the other mid-scale promoting companies.
Been screaming this for years and I don’t know shhit lol, it’s just common sense, streaming numbers can so easily be manipulated and faked, why wouldn’t they be? It’s great promotion, makes an artist look way bigger than they actually are, 
. And, like dude said, once you have to sell actual tickets, you see what the real is.

Selling 60% of your tickets almost 2 months in advance is a bad thing?
The 1st show is July 30th.
