Reply to comment by Dudersaurus in ELI5: Everyone knows that Ticketmaster is the biggest scumbucket enterprise on the planet yet no band seems able to avoid their grasp. What's to stop a really major act (e.g. Taylor Swift) from performing in venues that are not controlled by Ticketmaster, or just setting up a parallel company? by havereddit

And from all reports, it was a super successful and well run festival. Hopefully it sets a blueprint on how to go it alone

Yep, they all sold out quickly and seemed to run well, so undoubtedly successful, but not many artists have the clout to do it.
