Pearl Jam canceled a tour over a dispute with Ticketmaster. In 1992 Pearl Jam did two free concerts in Seattle, but Ticketmaster charged a fee of one dollar per ticket, which Pearl Jam found unacceptable, so the band distributed the tickets themselves. In 93, they set a maximum ticket price of $18 for their concerts and fees of less than $1.80. Ticketmaster,'s fees ranged from $4 to $8. The band refused to give in, so the 94 summer tour was canceled, costing over $3M in lost revenue. They did a new tour only at venues not affiliated with Ticketmaster, organizing everything themselves to help their fans and stick it to Ticketmaster!
