  Your comment is confusing me.

  While I agree that Ticketmaster is a fucked up monopoly,

  Implies that what you’re going to say next is something that either excuses them or is worse than them, but you go on to say:

  the only one fucked were those buying tickets.

  Which, imo, is true but does not follow the logic of the “while” statement.

  Then you go on to say:

  Taylor will easily survive another day; those that sold their pancreases for a seat…not so much

  Which makes me think you are blaming Taylor Swift for Ticketmaster’s prices, or at least saying that she is complacent in some way. But the point is the prices were set by Ticketmaster, and padded with exorbitant fees that Taylor had no control over.
