In 1995, Pearl Jam began a tour without using Ticketmaster. They chose to use a mail order ticket service.

Pearl Jam's initiative to play only at non-Ticketmaster venues effectively, with a few exceptions, prevented it from playing shows in the United States for the next three years. Bassist Jeff Ament later said, "We were so hardheaded about the 1995 tour. Had to prove we could tour on our own, and it pretty much killed us, killed our career."

Yeah, because Target has a monopoly on ticket sales and exorbitant services fees.

When I was in high school, I made an AOL instant messenger icon out of Jack Irons' face in that picture.
