The real place to direct your anger is towards the venues and bands that choose to sell tickets through TM.
A lot of that is out of band's hands. Ticketmaster has, essentially, a monopoly on venues. It's already incredibly hard to even make net zero on playing shows, getting picky about venues makes that almost impossible and relegates your band to shitty dive bars.
Didn't they buy the firm that owns most of the venues in the US so bands don't really have a choice?
They really have a choice, but they would make less money (unless everyone did)
