I know this is happening because of a combo of my browser (librewolf) and my extensions (uBlock and Privacy Badger), but really it's because most larger concert halls in the USA and the ticket service they use online are owned by the most evil fucking corporation and I am fucking sick of it. I was going to buy tix for a local punk band's show but now my choices are:

  • I have to drive 30 minutes to buy tix in person, Monday-Friday
  • or sell my soul to these assholes

Just venting, no suggestions needed.

Do you realize AXS is not Ticketmaster/Live Nation?

I'm not defending them but they are different corporations

I do. Don't care. But thanks for pointing that out.

AXS always calls me a bot with my hardened browser+extensions setup, so I have to buy using their shitty app. I haven’t tried a vanilla browser yet so next time I’ll do that.

Usually turning off my VPN fixes it for me. Not ideal but c'est la vie

It's all the more (mildly) infuriating that it's happening while trying to buy tickets for a local punk band and not a big act like The Sellouts.

Dude, I just stopped going altogether. It sucks, but I can't deal with these fools anymore. And, no, I'm not suggesting you stop going. I'm actually not suggesting anything. All I'm saying is that I've had enough, so I'm done with all of those dead weights, and if that means I have to sneak into shows or watch recordings, so be it.

[–] perishthethought@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I hear you, I do. It's just that I've supported local bands my whole life, at mostly small bars and clubs. This is a relatively new local band I really want to see before they take off on a world-wide tour and now AXS is making it hard. First world problems, I know. I just don't want to take out my anger on the band, eh. They don't control any of this.

No, I agree with you. I just wish these ticketing middle-companies didn't exist.
