Live Nation CEO Wants Fans to Pay More: Billionaire Says Concert Tickets Are ‘Too Cheap’

Live Nation’s CEO Michael Rapino thinks concert tickets are too cheap. Yes, too cheap. He recently claimed fans “under appreciate” live music and should get used to paying more, comparing Beyoncé tickets to $70,000 Knicks courtside seats. That take didn’t sit well with fans, who already know the pain of Ticketmaster’s monopoly.

Here’s the truth, the average U.S. concert ticket already costs around $83, with stadium shows near $129. Toss in dynamic pricing and scalpers, and those numbers skyrocket. Rapino justifies it by pointing to “Super Bowl level” productions, like Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour traveling with 62 trucks of gear. Sure, it’s a spectacle, but fans argue accessibility matters more than bragging rights.

Concerts should bring people together, not divide them by income. When a billionaire CEO tells fans they’re not spending enough, it doesn’t sound like love for music, it sounds like a hustle.

Trump Calls Immigrants ‘The Enemy From Within’ As His Admin Threatens Democracy

Donald Trump has once again weaponized fear, turning a meeting with military leaders into a stage for authoritarian rhetoric. At Marine Corps Base Quantico, he branded immigrants, criminals, and protesters the “enemy from within.” For a nation founded on immigration, people escaping England’s grip for freedom, this message is both dangerous and shameful.

He didn’t stop there. Trump suggested America’s “dangerous cities” could double as military training grounds, threatening Chicago as an example. The generals’ silence spoke volumes, they know this isn’t about national security, it’s about consolidating power and intimidating Americans at home.

As if that weren’t enough, Trump ranted about not winning the Nobel Peace Prize, calling it an insult to the nation. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth then piled on with promises to erase “woke culture” in the military, weaken protections, and force a harsher environment. The message was crystal clear, fall in line or get out.

This administration’s agenda is not just misguided, it’s a direct attack on democracy and the American people. The United States was built by immigrants, on the promise of freedom. To hear leaders twist that legacy into justification for authoritarian control is both disgusting and dangerous.

Prosecutors Push For Diddy To Serve Over A Decade As Cassie Warns Of Retaliation

Prosecutors want Sean “Diddy” Combs sentenced to more than a decade behind bars. In new court filings, they pushed for at least 135 months in prison along with a $500,000 fine. The request comes after his July conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Although he avoided convictions on the more serious racketeering and sex trafficking charges, Diddy still faces up to 20 years in prison.

The filing also included a victim statement from Cassie Ventura, who said she fears swift retaliation if Diddy walks free. Cassie stressed her testimony was rooted in the truth of her lived experience, even if the jury didn’t fully accept it. Prosecutors argue her statement underscores why he should serve serious time.

Diddy’s defense team has a very different view, urging the judge to cap his sentence at 14 months. They argue he’s paid his dues, deserves to be home with his family, and should be allowed to focus on treatment. They’ve even submitted celebrity character letters to bolster their case.

The final decision comes October 3, when the judge rules on whether Diddy goes home soon or serves over a decade in federal prison.
