This as well as many of the contracts the venues have with Live Nation/Ticketmaster have non compete clauses barring them from being able to sell tickets directly or use another service.
I think you identified the need for a law to be written to ban such agreements on monopoly grounds. We could just ban all non compete clauses and the world would be a better place as the majority of them are unenforceable and unethical to begin with.
Problem is our FTC approved the merger allowing the monopoly to proceed. So I doubt any type of law blocking that will be passed any time soon with this clown circus in charge.
