It is not out of the ordinary for the public to have beef with Ticketmaster. From inflated ticket prices to website crashes and dealing with scalpers, it feels like every time an A-list artist goes on tour, they find themselves in hot water. Noah Kahan has taken proactive measures to make the fans a priority for ticket sales.

Foster Pavilion was filled with the sounds of whining guitars, feisty fiddles, cowboy boot stomping and raucous cheers for Tucker Wetmore’s first arena performance at Foster Pavilion Thursday.

I think the real issue here isn’t even the blatant highway robbery that musicians are subjecting their loyal fan bases to. It’s the fact that we’ll fall for it.
