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.
