Basically the only way for a professional touring musician except those like her at the top to make money is to sell merchandise at this point. Either that or play small clubs which don’t use Ticketmaster and get a small take of the door. It’s ludicrous that so many very talented people can’t make a living as musicians anymore.
As someone in the entertainment business, those performers don’t like ticket master either. Or at least on the level I am at.

TM decimates every show i am involved in
