Musicians / bands don't come here anymore :(

Every single time I hear about a musician/band that I follow going on tour it's the same story: They're playing in Boston and Portland Maine and that's it for New England. I know it has to do with the Ticket Master/Live Nation monopoly/ disgrace. This must be having a noticeable negative economic impact on our downtown. We're putting a ton of money into a soccer stadium that is a niche market at best.

I'm totally out of the loop, is there any talk about trying to address this situation?
