Overall: @Nathan121212: Good article. though I will say that the hook could probably do better with mentioning either the amount of money they made or how they clashed with ticketmaster to lower prices. Also there's a refimprove tag so what's up with that? Onegreatjoke (talk) 23:32, 22 September 2023 (UTC) @Onegreatjoke: feel free to remove the refimprove unless you think there's a claim that needs sourcing. For another hook maybe,[reply]
