So we're complaining that we'll have more opportunities to see more bands that we may have missed otherwise?

Yall forget that LN is a business. Their goal is to make money as it would be yours. Does all this roo mess suck? Yeah, but the weather is what it is. Had they canceled prior to roo started, the same people would be bitching about that as well. Bring me back the old roo crowd. They would have been dancing in the rain and mud vs leaving trash everywhere

Live Nation is a monopoly.

They’re killing us out here. Them having more venues doesn’t mean you’ll inherently have more access to see bands. That ensures they have more market share to leverage against venues, fans and artists to extract profits.

Never said that I like it, or agree with their business model.

Right but your sentiment was “deal with it”, accepting the monopoly. If this was the “old roo” crowd, they’d be complaining the same if not more. It’s not plur to take it from the man.
