Nope.

I'm going to keep going to see Big Rock Shows because that's what I enjoy the most. And I'm going to keep getting GA tickets (what seats?), because I am nowhere near old enough to stay out of the pit once my pant legs start flapping from a grotesquely overbuilt PA.

And in my neck of the woods, bands at bars can't scratch that itch.

So that means paying (and complaining about) Ticketmaster.
