Interesting. About time the musicians have noticed what is going on. I cannot believe they actually allow this to go on.

So this is blood sucker who scams the public. Why is this legal?

Ticketmaster makes money from the fees it charges customers when they purchase event tickets. These fees, which generally include a service fee, delivery fee, and order processing fee,

Meanwhile, on ticket resale websites, prices ranged, but the lowest seen on Saturday afternoon was £537 while the highest was £14,104.

Going back to Led Zeppelin, when it came to concerts, the Band got 90% of the takings and the organisers got 10%. Now that's what I call a decent human being (Peter Grant) and the prices they charged was reasonable too. When it came to recordings, the artists had the rights on all the music they published. Record company simply sold the records for a percentage. At the same time all other musicians were lucky to just be given 5% of their record sales.

Interesting development in the Wild West world of La La Land. It seems that it can take up to 2 hours to get in front of the que to buy a ticket to a concert at Ticketmaster and by the time you get to pay for it, the price can be 3 times more then when you first put the ticket in the basket.

A more worrying aspect of this industry is the fact that even the Hotels are at it too scamming their customers. People who have booked a room months before the dates were known, at a hotel in the same city have their booking cancelled and are asked to reapply for the room at three times the price.

Ain't it just grand.

In this instance I have no sympathy for the Oasis fans as they get what they deserve for wanting to see a crap band singing crap songs but the rest of the population do not deserve such highway robbery. The hotels and the ticket sellers should be given the Dick Turpin style justice.

I mean you gotta feel sorry for the guy right. How the hell is he supposed to survive in this cost of living crisis.

Can you Adam and Eve it, the Germans are going through the same shit we went trough since 2010. One fascist cunt after another and look where we ended up.

They will suffer for their stupidity.

The fact that racism exists in La La Land is no secret, and it is not just in certain areas, the Institutions are instructionally racist.

“We have serious concerns about impunity and the failure to address racial disparities in the criminal justice system, deaths in police custody, ‘joint enterprise’ convictions, and the dehumanising nature”, of the so-called ‘stop and search’ policing strategy, the UN Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent said in a statement at the end of an official visit to the UK.

Here is another fact.

Not to mention that racist Braverman who insisted that grooming gangs for young girls originated from Pakistan on the very week that 20 white men were jailed for grooming young girls in the west midlands.

Who ever came up with the crack pot idea that the west suffers from islamophobia in any way.
Not to mention attacks on foreigners and mosques after false news was spread that the children were killed by a muslim who can in on a small boat. It continued despite the fact that the identity of the person was released and was actually born here and is a Christian man from Rwanda who's parents arrived here during the Genocide that took place there 20 years ago.

Very interesting aspect of how the internet is controlled.

Andrew Kaung says that during the time he worked at TikTok, all videos that were not removed or flagged to human moderators by AI - or reported by other users to moderators - would only then be reviewed again manually if they reached a certain threshold.

He says at one point this was set to 10,000 views or more. He feared this meant some younger users were being exposed to harmful videos. Most major social media companies allow people aged 13 or above to sign up.

Why fuckin wait to remove content till it reaches 10,000 views. It is then shared millions of time so it cannot be controlled. To what purpose is this done? Surely if it to be removed, it must be removed as soon as it is identified.

It is so sad when BBC interviews a Zionist but does put the facts to them. This woman callon Sharon who has a parent as a hosage, explained that she was aware what happened on October 7 but there was no reason for it as Israel was not attacking them on the 6th.

Clearly she was not aware of a few simple points.
1. Being enclaved and unable to leave Gaza without the permission of the Zionists does not mean they were not under attack.

2. There is a clear evidence that IDF killed hundreds of Zionists on October 7 by firing hellfire misses judging by the damaged building as well as the admission that some bodies were so burnt that they were not aware amongst the bodies were 200 Palestinians burnt too. If there were 200 Palestinians burnt it is logical that there is at least 200 Zionists burnt too.
3. The most important aspect is how many homes IOF destroyed and also killed at least 40,000 civilians and who knows how many are under the rubble.

Yet the BBC reporter just allows the cow to spew out the myths Nutenyahu has fed them without even challenging anything. It is absolutely sickening what the media is doing.

It is refreshing to realise that not all super wealthy people are SwineCunts.

Fiercely ambitious and with an intellect and savvy to match, Andrew Carnegie left a life of grinding poverty in his native Scotland at the tender age of 12 to start a new life in America.
Despite his impoverished roots, Carnegie became the world's richest person. And unlike some other business tycoons of the Gilded Age period, Carnegie was as generous as he was successful, ultimately giving away his entire fortune.

Now that's what I call a good development. Let Starmerlin throw out any Labour MP who votes against his SwineCunt policies.
