      There is a conspiracy with the iHeartRadio music festival.

      How many people do you know who get hyped up to go see an amalgamation of 6-15 year old bands with no new music?

      ClearChannel (and therefore iHeart) sells advertising enmasse so that messages and products can be pushed the largest groups. They hype up the music festival like its a great big deal, and then they give away tickets.

      I genuinely wonder how many people paid for tickets vs. “won” tickets from one of the 9 different radio stations that cover their area.
