## Resource

It's not in your head and yes inflation is real but ticket prices have indeed kept climbing for years. One company has a monopoly on the industry and doesn't even have the decency to wear a top hat and own hotels on Baltic Avenue. Holden charts the founding of Ticketmaster, how it won the war and now controls everything. But hey, we're not just about doom and gloom here so we're highlighting all the good folks that have fought for their fans and the fans themselves who are saying "We're Not Gonna Take It" in their best Dee Snider snarl and simply not giving in to ludicrous prices despite how much they would love to see Post Malone and Jellyroll.
