I’ve never understood all the complaints about high ticket prices. High ticket prices indicate demand. A venue has a fixed capacity, so high demand means high prices for seats.

The only way to solve this is to either fix prices (which just creates a shortage), or play a bigger venue (which probably makes a meet and greet impossible). Why would an artist be upset by too many people wanting to exchange value for their work?

I think people are more upset that the ticket vendor monopolies charge ridiculous percentage “fees” on top of the ticket cost
