Ask HN: 왜 아직 Ticketmaster의 진짜 경쟁자가 나오지 않았나요?

Ticketmaster's market dominance stems not from superior technology but from structural lock-in—Live Nation merger enabled it to own ~80% of major U.S. venues and enforce exclusive contracts, blocking competitors entirely. Its 'blast shield' business model absorbs consumer anger over high fees while channeling profits to venues and artists, making it irreplaceable to suppliers. The two-sided marketplace chicken-and-egg problem (artists need venues, venues need artists) creates an insurmountable barrier for new entrants lacking established supply chains.
