Ticketmaster Live Nation SUCK

 



"LIVE NATION SUCKS" !!!

So DOES TICKET MASTER

They ar Both BASTARDS !!!





People should BOYCOTT all LIVE NATION EVENTS, and Ticketmaster, which is a Monopoly
should be Broken-Up. Both these companies are a detrement to society, and our country would be a better place to live if both these Horrible Companies Cease to Exist. "We don't need them" ! And we'd all be Better Off without them, especially those of us who are  middle class working people.

Because Live Nation and Ticketmaster exist, many working people can no longer afford to go to concert, a result of the atrociosu prices these two theiving companies charge for concert tickets.

When I was a teenager in the 1970 I could go see a concert for an average price of about $12 .. I saw bands like George Harrison, Humble Pie, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, The Allman Brothers, Chick Berry and aothers, all for about $12 a ticket, a very reasonable price, that even me, just a teenager who always had jobs and my own money from the age of 12, I could afford to pay for my own ticket, something most middle class teeneagers could not do today. Even though most (90%) of the music in the past 25 years is God awful horrible, so I don't see why teenagers would want to see these Shitty bands anyway, most can not afford the tickets. Heck, even adults can't afford tickets these days, with most tickets for top named musical acts starting at $150 or more, for nose-bleed seats, with tickets costing $500 and more, with an average ticket price in the range of $250 to $300, its absolutely absurd the prices that these THEIVES charge, and they get away with it. Something needs to be done.

After I graduated high school and went out into the working world ( i already was from the age of 12), the eaverage weekly income for most working people was about $300 a week, with concert ticket prices aberaging about $20 ... Today, as of the year 2023, the average weekly income is about $900 ...

Thus if tickets were  priced at a clip equal to the average weekly salary in 1976 when I graduated high school, an increase of 300% then ticket prices for concert tickets should be about $60 to $75 the most, and not the $150 average that they are today in 2023. ... Our salaries have only increase 3 fold, yet the price of Concert Tickets sold by Ticketmaster, and promoted and structured by the BASTARDS at Live Nation have increased not 3 times, but 800 % or 8 to 9 times as the increases in the average American workers salaries in the time period of 1976 to 2022. Why do people put up with this. When will the Federal Goverment put their foot down, and break up these monoplies? We don't get it.

Live Nation Entertainment is an American global entertainment company that was founded in 2010 following the merger of Live Nation and Ticketmaster. The company promotes, operates, and manages ticket sales for live entertainment in the United States and internationally. It also owns and operates entertainment venues, and manages the careers of music artists.

The company has faced widespread criticism over its central role in the consolidation of the live events industry, allegations that it proactively engages in anti-competitive practices, poor handling of the ticket sale process for highly popular events, and injuries and deaths that have occurred at many of its events.


Besides paying about $12 to $15 for Concerts Tickets when I was a teenager in high school, after I was out of high school, I went to see the late great Frank Sinatra live and in concert on 7 memorable occasions, and I paid between $25 and $40 for thosed tickets. Never more than $40. The last two times I saw Sinatra was two nights in 1990, when Frank was doing a 5 Night Engagement at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. I bought tickets for opening night, and closing night of the 6 night stint. I went to the opening night show with my girlfriend Merceditas. The same night at 3 o'clock in the morning, the great Sammy Davis Jr. passed away. He had been battling throat Cancer at the time. Frank Sinatra looved Sammy like a brother, and posponed the remaining 4 nights of the engagement, so he could attend Sammy's Funeral. A month later I saw Sinatra again, at the rescheduled concerts. As usual Frank was great, and I particularly loved those two concerts at Radio City. They were magical. The tickets for those concerts cost me $40 each, and worth every penny. If the SOBs at Live Nation were running a Sinatra Concert these days, those same tickets woulf most likely be between $250 to $300 a ticket. Thank God those bastards (Live Nation) were not around then.


So people Pease Have some Balls! BOYCOTT TICKETMASTER and LIVE NATION !!! You are being RIPPED OFF !!! Stand Up to these horrible corporat monsters and maybe we'll get some where? Maybe ticket prices will go down to more reasonable prices. Prices the working man can afford. It's in you Power, but you have to do your part, and Boycott buying any tickets from Ticketmaster. And boycott any concert promoted by those SOBs at Live Nation, and stop getting ripped off !!!







"These People are BASTARDS"

DON'T BUY TICKETS FROM THEM

BOYCOTT Tocketmaster and the SOBs at LIVE NATION

For The GOOD of The COUNTRY




Ticketmaster Responds to Senate Letter Investigating Resale Controversy: Exclusive


Ticketmaster president Jared Smith has responded to a letter from two U.S. Senators asking questions about the company's resale business in the wake of an investigative report by the Toronto Star and…

Ticketmaster president Jared Smith has responded to a letter from two U.S. senators asking questions about the company’s resale business in the wake of an investigative report by the Toronto Star and the CBC into Ticketmaster’s TradeDesk platform.   

In his letter to Senators Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Smith says that Ticketmaster does not offer any tool or program that allows professional resellers to buy up tickets in bulk and says the company’s TradeDesk software does not give resellers an advantage when buying tickets on the primary market.  

“Ticketmaster does not have, and has never had, any product or program that allows ticket scalpers, or anyone else, to buy tickets ahead of fans and circumvent the policies we have on our site regarding on-line ticket purchasing limits,” Smith writes in the four-page Oct. 5 letter.   

Smith then goes on to answer four questions posed by the senators in their Sept. 21 letter to Michael Rapino, chief executive at Live Nation, which owns Ticketmaster, detailing the company’s policies on purchase limits, TradeDesk user agreements and whether Ticketmaster’s Professional Reseller Handbook actually deters resellers from illegal activities. Smith’s letter also discusses how the company enforces sales limits on its primary ticketing platform and the investment it has made in detecting and preventing scalpers from using automated programs like BOTs to buy up tickets.

“Through a combination of data science, enterprise grade software and new technologies, we are now blocking an average of 5 billion bot attempts per month, and over 60 billion per year,” Smith writes, adding that Ticketmaster uses “username, e-mail address, physical address, payment method, computer and/or device used and IP address” to detect users attempting to go OTL — over the ticket limit.

“Over the past 12 months, this process has blocked millions of OTL requests,” Smith writes. “We continue to invest substantially to improve our technology, and in the coming months expect to add new tools and data points to further improve our OTL detection abilities.”

The letter to the senators is part of Ticketmaster’s ongoing response to an undercover video filmed by two Canadian journalists at Ticket Summit, which has led to two class action lawsuits and was a possible impetus for an upcoming Federal Trade Commission workshop in March 2019. 



LEGAL ISSUES AGAINST "LIVE NATION"


The company has faced various lawsuits alleging ticket price fixing, hidden fees and anti-competitive practices. Live Nation has been linked to at least 200 deaths and 750 injuries at its events in seven countries since 2006. From 2016 to 2019, they had also been cited for at least ten OSHA violations, fined for several more serious incidents, and sued civilly at least once for a concert incident.

Destiny's Child manager Mathew Knowles unsuccessfully sued Live Nation in 2011, asserting that the company had spread false information about his business dealings with BeyoncĂ©.

In June 2013, Live Nation was charged with violating Ontario health and safety laws following a stage collapse at a Radiohead concert that killed one crew member. A 2019 inquest returned a verdict of accidental death.

In November 2021, a crowd crushing incident occurred at Astroworld Festival —a concert event in Houston organized and headlined by rapper Travis Scott and promoted by Live Nation—which resulted in 10 fatalities and nearly 5,000 injuries.  Live Nation, Scott, and other parties involved have been named in over 387 lawsuits related to the incident, which in January 2022 were combined down into a single case. In December 2021, the United States Congress House Oversight Committee announced a bipartisan investigation into Live Nation's role in the incident.

In February 2022, Devante Caldwell (Ralfy the Plug) filed a 'wrongful death' lawsuit against the company, after his brother and rapper, Drakeo the Ruler, was stabbed to death backstage of the Once Upon A Time In LA festival in Los Angeles,CA. Live Nation attempted to get the lawsuit dismissed, however in January 2023 the Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Yolanda Orozc rejected the dismissal.

In May 2022, Representative for New Jersey's 9th congressional district Bill Pascrell stated that he had issued letters to the Federal Trade Commission and U.S. Department of Justice calling for Live Nation to be unwound and broken up, citing its safety record and other factors. These calls were repeated in November 2022 after the Taylor Swift (The Eras Tour) Ticketmaster controversy.

New York Italian Writer Daniel Bellino Bestselling author

TEATRO GRECO - SIRACUSA 
 
 
Daniel Bellino-Zwicke? Who is he? He's a Best Selling Cookbook Author and one of New York's Big Dogs of Italian Wine, a former Chef of such restaurants as; Woods, Corrado, and Bar Cichetti ... Daniel studied Hotel / Restaurant Management at New York Technical in Brooklyn .. Besides being the chef at the previous named restaurants, Daniel worked with Michel Fitoussi at the famed Palace Restaurant in the late 80's as well as at the Odeon under the great Patrick Clarke.
 
Daniel got out of the kitchen in the late 90's to become The Maitre'd at the uber hot # 1 Celebrity Hot Spot in New York at Da Silvano Ristorante where he took care of people like; Keith Richards, David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Uma Thurman, Richard Gere, Joe Pesci, Robert DeNiro, Calvin Klein, Nick Pileggi, Nora Efron, Graydon Carter, Gwyneth Palthrow, Madonna, Lucy Lui, and-on-and-on, the list is way to long to name them all.
 
Daniel took care of the high-flying clientele an Top People in The Worlds of Fashion, the Record Business, Publishing, along with Movie Stars and Rock Stars . Daniel is known for his easy going ability of taking care of all the big stars needs in a casual attentive manner without being intrusive in any way, and are the reasons he is well-known to so many Movers & Shakers of  these high-profile business fields. 
 
Daniel had made quite a name for himself as the creator and Executive Chef / Wine Director and Managing Partner of Bar Cichetti, the 1st ever Venetian Wine Bar (Bacaro) in America, which was Daniel's proud creation. As Chef / Wine Director of Bar Cichetti, Daniel firmly established himself as one of New York and America's Top Italian Wine Guys .. He is personal friends with most of Italy's top wine producers, the likes of; Marchese Ferdinando Frescobaldi, Sebastiano Rosa winemaker of Sassicaia, Marchese Piero Antinori of Antinori Wines, Giovanni Folnari of Nozzole, Gianlucca Grasso, Gianpaolo Venica, Cavalier Luigi Cappellini of Castel Verrazzano, and-on-an-on, just like all the Movie Stars & Rock Stars that Daniel knows, the list of Italian Wine Luminaries is even greater.
 
As we've already stated, Daniel left restaurant kitchens behind to become a noted Italian Wine Guy and Maitre'd who has a reputation of dealing with a  high-profile clientel. But not only them of course, there's everyone else, shall we call them the regular folk? Hey, they make up the bulk of any restaurant business, not the celebs, though celebrities help to draw in everyone else. Daniel will take good care of you as a number of his clients we have interviewed will tell you. He friendly and quite personable and really knows his stuff. Daniel has such a great passion for the food and wines of Italy that's almost impossible to duplicate. Frankly, Daniel is one of the best. He can tell you wonderful stories about the wine you are drinking; its history, who the owners and people who make the wine are (his Friends). His trips to all these Wine Estates all over Italy have given him the experiences that he conveys to his many clients. And Daniel's knowledge and passion for the food is equal to that of his vast knowledge of Italian Wine. Often you'll be drinking a bottle of Italian Wine that Daniel suggests and he'll pull out his iPhone and show you pictures of the people who own the estate and make the wine. One example would be Daniel's good friend Luigi Cappellino who owns Castello Verrazzano in Greve in Chianti (Tuscan) Italy. He'll show you pictures of him and his cousins Anthony & Joe at Verrazzano when Daniel took them there and they stayed on the property and ate breakfast and dinner in the castle, while drinking the great wines of Castello Verrazzano.

After 5 years at DaSilvano, Daniel went on to become the Wine Director of Barbetta Restorante on West 46th Street in New York to head up the Greatest Italian Wine List in all of America. Daniel says, "the cellars are amazing." Places like Babbo and Del Posto get more press for having great Italian Wine Lists, which they do, but Daniel says, "The Wine List of Babbo & Del Posto are awesome, but in comparison to Barbetta, they are akin to Childs-Play." No exaggeration, merely fact Daniel says. And within that Wine List which is the Greatest Italian Wine List in all of America, is the Barolo / Barbaresco section of which Daniel says is the greatest Barolo list in the World with it many Verticals of all the great Barolo Crus, like, Vietti Barolo Brunate and Lazarito, Cerretto Bricco Roche Bricco Roche, Marcarini Brunate, Michele Chiarlo Cerequio, Aldo Conterno Grand Bussia, Giacomo Conterno Barolo  "Monfortino" Giacamo Conterno "Francia," Mauro Veglio's Barolo Rocche dell’Annunziata, Contratto Barolo "Cerequio," Elio Grasso Ginestra and more ...
 
Daniel said he was quite fortunate in his job as Wine Director of Barbetta for 5 years as he was able to taste and drinks so many of these great Barolo Crus of various vintages, as well as all the multi vintages of  Barbaresco, Amarone, Brunello, Super Tuscans, Champagne, and the all the top California Cabernets and Meritage Blends such as Opus One and Insignia.
 
Daniel had been writing for years, mostly essays, articles, and short stories. He wrote his first book La TAVOLA while he was at Barbetta in 2006 .. He said that 85% of the book was written in about 6 weeks time (quite fast), however he edited, polished it up and worked on it for another year before trying to get it published, which took five years. Actually La Tavola was published in June of 2012, followed by The FEAST of The 7 FISH which is the top selling cookbook of its genre. Daniel published Got Any Kahlua? The Collected Recipes of The Dude in the Summer of 2013, followed by SUNDAY SAUCE which has been a # 1 Best Seller Italian Cookbooks on Amazon for 5 months ... Daniel published another # 1 Best Seller in June of 2014 with SEGRETO ITALIANO / Secret Italian Recipes & Favorite Dishes ..
 
Daniel says he's currently working on a book on Chianti one of his great passions, as well as another Italian Cookook and an American Cookbook, all yet to be named ..

The Most Overrated Pizza in New York City

 

The TRUTH ABOUT JOE'S PIZZA ?

I'm Sorry to day, "IT'S NOT VERY GOOD"

What it is, Is the Most Overated Pizza in New York ?

Joe's Pizza, Carmine Street



JOE'S PIZZA

Greenwich Village, New York

"NOT VERY GOOD"



Despite what you might have heard, Joe's Pizza of Carmine Street is not very good. In fact the pizza is quite "Mediocre" and of just moderate quality. I have felt this for ary long time, every since I moved to New York City 39 years ago. How Joe's Pizza gets rated by many as one of if not the best slice of pizza in New York is beyond me. I just don't get it.  It's not that very the pizza is very good and you could debate of the numerous slices of Pizza in New York City, which of the Top Rated Pizzerias has the best pizza. The Pizza at Joe's is not in the same league as the top eselon Pizza Parlars in New York City. "Not even close. The Pizza at Joe's is merely sub-par, and I would surmise that the only reason that Joe's is rated so highly amongst the media, is for the reason that is often the case, the people writing for magazines and newspapers on food, often are not really qualified to be writing about food, and are put into improtant positions simply because they are writers, and they go along with the crowd ( general public & other writers), simply because it's the easy way out, the can write the piece, though it may be very inaccurate of the facts, as in the case with writers writing that Joe's Pizza is one of the best in the city, and that the Pizza at Joe's is good, it's just not true.

Though I don't really like Joe's Pizza, and never have thought highly of it, I have eaten it numerous times over the past 30 years or so, simply because I have a good friend who likes it, as well as my cosuin, and I'd end up in Joe's many times, eating the pizza, simply because I was along for the ride. Some times it was OK, but it never knocked my socks off. "Never."

I live just one block from Joe's, and for years there was a great Pizzeria called Pizza Box on Bleecker Street, less than two blocks away from Joe's, and that's were I always went to get a slice or two. The pizza at Pizza Box was "Excellent" and that was the Pizza and Pizzeria that made the Best Pizza in the area, and "Not Joe's" And Pizza Box should have been getting all the high praise from magazines and local newspapers, Not Joe's. But they didn't. The under-qualified writers who wrote great things about Joe's, never wrote anything about Pizza Box, as these writers were followers, and went along with everyon else. People who really knew pizza, and lived in the neighborhood, they all went to Pizza Box. And besides having Superior Pizza, Pizza Box was a much nicer pizzeria physically. They had tables that you could sit in, unlike Joe's, which I always hated that you couldn't sit down, and relax while eating your slice. Not good (Joe's) at all. And the Pizza Box had a beautiful garden in the back, where you could enjoy your pizza as well. And for those who love Beer, Pizza Box sold beer as well, and they made great Meatball Parm Sandwiches, and the oner Julio was a real nice man. I

I really miss Pizza Box, a place that made superior pizz than Joe's. Though the Pizza Box is gone, there is an alternative in the neaighborhood, for tasty pizza. Pizza that is superior to Joe's pizza. The place is Artichoke Pizza on Macdougal Street, just one block from Joe's Pizza, and the pizza at Artichoke Pizza is so "much better" than Joe's it isn't even funny. And I'm not talking about the Artichoke Pizza slice that made Artichoke Pizzeria famous, but the regular Cheese Slice, also known as Pizza Margherita. The regular cheese slice at Artichoke Pizza is one of the Best Slices of Pizza in town. And not only is the pizza at Joe's not very good, but it's quite "Expensive" at $4 a slice for just average pizza. "A complete and total Rip-Off" !!!

The regular Cheese Slice at Artichoke, may be $5 a slice, but it's gigantic, almost twice the size of a regular slice anywhere else, including Joe's. And the regular slice is "oh so Tasty" you will absolutely Love it, unlike Joe's, which you will only love, if you're a Followerm and don't know good pizza if it smacks you in the face, then you probably like Joe's.

Again, in the last 2 months, the Pizza we got at Joe's reconfirmed just how mediocre and lackluster this grossly overated Pizza truly is. Again, my cousin Joe who loves it, brought me there again. We were out having dinner and celebrating my cousin Eddie 25ht Birhtday. Then we hung out at Harry's downtown drinking wine, and it was getting late and the restaurant was closing. As usual, cousin Joe wanted to go get a couple slices of Pizza, before going home. So 6 of us went over there, and our friend Max ordered a couple Cheese Pies. We got them, and started eating, and I've never seen cousin Joe get so mad. He held up the Pizza, and said in disgust, "It's friggin burnt! It Sucks"! I kid you not. Those were his exact words, and I agreed, ans d so did our other 4 friends as well. They were all apalled at how terribly BAd the Pizza was. I was not surprised. I've said for years, that Joe's Pizza was grossly overated and that I never cared for it, and for my local Pizza, I always went to the Pizza Box and theri excellent pizza, and nver to Joe's by choice unless someone dragged me over there.
 
OK, so two months later. Yesterday in fact, I decided to go to Joe's and get a slice, as I was making a video about having a Bleecker Street Double Header, of getting a slice of Pizza, and then a Cannoli at Rocco's . And so I did, and I brought them home to my aprtment a block away. I put on some Sinatra and sat down and ate the Pizza from Joe's, and guess what? Yes, "It Sucked!" Not very good, and I wasn't happy, having such bad pizza that cost me a Whopping $4 for the slice. Well, o doubt I was not surprised that it wasn't tasty at all, but aweful. Oh well. Then I opened the box with the Cannoli from Rocco's Italian Pastry Shop on Bleecker. It looked damn good. And guess what? It was. Damn good that it. I wasn't happy when I bought it and it had gone up to a whopping $5 ... Much too high in my opinion, when 12 years ago they cost $1.50, increasing more than 3 times in price since then. My salary hadn't increased more than 3 times, probably just about 10% ... Thus my feelings that the price of the Cannolo was way to high, and for that reason I don't buy them as often as I used to. I wasn't happy when they went up to $3.50 for one measly Cannolo,but what was I to do.

I picked up the Cannolo, and ate it. And damn, it was delisious. Expensive, but tasty, unlike the slice of mediocre Joe's Pizza. So? Well, even though both of those items are now highly over-priced, at least the Cannolo was tasty. It was good, and so I didn't feel ripped-off as I did with the terrible slice of Pizza. What could I say?

Well, I've given you the facts on Joe's mediocre pizza, and the much better option for a true tasty slice of New York Pizza at Artichoke Pizza on Macdougal Street. Now, the decision where you go is your. Mediocre Pizza or one of the Best in Town? You decide which pizza you'd rather eat.


DBZ



PS ... La Lanterna on Macdougal Street is an unknown gem, that makes some of the Best Pizza in New York, and it's pretty much unknown,. It's not a Pizzeria, but a nice modest restaurant / caffe/ wine bar, that has an extensive Wine List of reasonably priced wine, awesome Lasagna, Salads, and sone of the Best Pizza in Town. I Highly reccomend it, if you're looking for some great Pizza, and a cool relaxed place to drink some wine, and get your self some of New York's tastiest pizza in town.

Suggested :  The Pizza with Gorgonzola, Walnuts & Prosciutto is out of this World delicious.

We Love the Potato Onion Pizza and the Margherita, or Margherita with Sausage are all outstanding.
