        I’m pretty sure they pay effectively zero tax because they found some interesting ways to make their profit appear 0 on paper.

      I don’t understand what your point is. Of course this doesn’t impact Ticketmaster. They already pay taxes on income generated from selling tickets, so nothing changes. I can’t tell if you’re just saying dumb shit to get upvotes from other idiots or truly don’t have a clue.
