One of the best parts of being music fans is supporting our favorite artists. We buy and listen to their music, share their new releases with our friends and make sure to purchase front row tickets for every show. Well, maybe not that last part, but for many fans, simply getting into the building to see their favorite artists can be a challenge.

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.

Live music shouldn’t be a privilege reserved for the few who have the time, money and patience to fight through ticket sales.
