    If I’m also recalling correctly, if a venue is signed up to Ticketmaster they cannot independently host events - everything has to be done through Ticketmaster 🤦‍♂️

    I may be wrong here, but I think this is an optional sign on, but they get something out of agreeing to it.

      Also not sure, but I think it was something about concessions. Like if they don’t agree, TM takes a cost of beer and food which is a huge money maker.

      The option is likely just there to say it’s technically optional.
