Ticketmaster is in hot water again after their issues over the past few months as country singer Zach Brown blatantly takes aim against the company on his new live album and the internet is sharing their reaction about his recent move.
According to ABC 11, the country star released an album compiled with live performances titled "All My Homies Hate Ticketmaster."
It appears that the attention-grabbing title was done with a purpose, not just for fun, as he explained it in a statement posted on his official Instagram account.
Addressing the issue, the musician said there is a "massive issue" with how ticket prices are being sold in the market as he has observed some of his fans paid over $400 just to see him perform live and he was not comfortable with how high the prices are.
Making a huge step against the company, Bryan decided to play only a limited number of headline shows for 2023 because he wanted to make ticket prices as cheap as possible and prove to the public that they don't have to pay $450 to "see a good and honest show."
Although he clarified that he would be performing in some festivals in which he has no control of the prices.
"I believe working class people should still be able to affort tickets to shows," he added, before asking fans to sign up on his laylo link to be updated with his tour dates, registrations, and even merchandise.
The country star went on to call out the public saying that there is no solution regarding the massive issues of ticketing while "huge monopolies sit there stealing money from working class people."
In addition, Bryan shared a message to artists and songwriters who are trying to make music for the working class, saying they should pride themselves on fighting for the people who could relate to their music.
Concluding his post, the singer revealed that a tour will be announced soon and he apologized to fans for the delay as he did everything to make everything affordable.
The album is currently available for streaming on major music platforms like Spotify and Apple Music.
