Ticketmaster

You know what really grinds my gears?

Ticketmaster. Every time I try to purchase concert tickets, I get the ticketmaster run around. First with the pre sales. If you don't pay $50 or have a platinum amex card, you can't get good tickets. Once you go on at the exact time, you will be placed in a line that continues to get longer. A one minute wait becomes a five minute wait, as if thousands of people are cutting the line in front you. Afterwards, you are assigned a terrible seat. You may graciously accept it or let it go to get a worse seat. Then you get dinged with the fees. They charge you a "convenience charge" for being incredibly inconvenient. Then they charge you to print out your tickets.

They are obviously a monopoly and need to be shut down.
