- Country musician Zach Lane Bryan released a live album "All My Homies Hate Ticketmaster," on Dec. 25.
- On Instagram, he claimed, "monopolies" like Ticketmaster are "stealing from working-class people."
Country music star Zach Lane Bryan name-dropped Ticketmaster in his most recent album title and accused it of "stealing" from hard-working fans.
The 26-year-old singer, whose album "American Heartbreak," was number 5 on the Billboard 200 in May, announced his newest release "All My Homies Hate Ticketmaster," in an Instagram post on Sunday — taking aim at the infamous ticket sales company.
Bryan also posted a lengthy explanation as to why it had taken so long to set tour dates for the popular album: Ticketmaster's hold on the ticket sales market made it very difficult for him to keep costs down for fans, he said.
"I believe working-class people should still be able to afford tickets to shows," $4. "I am so tired of people saying things can't be done about this massive issue while huge monopolies sit there stealing money from working-class people."
Ticketmaster did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
The live album was recorded at a concert in Red Rocks, Colorado, and includes live performances of some of his most popular songs like "Something in the Orange" and "Heading South."
Bryan joins a choir of voices — artists, fans, and politicians alike — that have called Ticketmaster out for so-called monopoly-like behavior.
