While I get the intention behind the move this seems like a disastrous way
to go about it. I've seen enough sporting events over the years to know
that there is a legal agreement on the back of a printed ticket saying just
what the attendee agrees to in order to limit the liability of the team. In
this case a person buys a ticket to see a show and at some point between
the front door of the venue and their seat they are handed an extensive
legal form to sign. There's no way a person can know which rights they are
signing away.

Performers rely on word of mouth to sell tickets. If people feel
intimidated about talking about the show that means unsold tickets. And if
some attendee actually gets an intent to sue letter from Davidson's
attorney (and I'm guessing the people going to see Pete Davidson aren't in
the 1%) and the person shares that letter, it would be catastrophic for
Davidson's reputation regardless if it ever goes before a judge.
