On his HBO show, John Oliver impugns Ticketmaster for fees and distribution practices --- and calls on lawmakers and artists to finally do something about it.

On the most recent edition of his HBO show, “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,” the British-born, American-based comedian and political commentator delivered a 20-minute takedown of Ticketmaster, the ticketing company that merged in 2010 with concert-industry giant Live Nation Entertainment to form Live Nation LYV.

As an aside, Oliver put that hatred into corporate context: “Remember, this is a planet in which AT&T T also exists.” The rant was delivered in Oliver’s usual style, blending comedic bits — he repeatedly showed a video of Justin Bieber falling down on stage — and supporting evidence. For example, Oliver referred to a Justice Department court filing over instances in which the department said Live Nation forced venues into using Ticketmaster.

This special started off by John Oliver saying that artists don't have enough leverage to negotiate with TicketMaster and then ended it with a plea for artists to use their leverage to boycott TicketMaster. In other words, TicketMaster isn't going anywhere.

John Oliver is so annoying that I couldn't even get into his bit about Ticketmaster, a mutual enemy. He sucks.

Either the establishment is ready for a change, and this will be the narrative or the establishment is warring with it self.
