Are some people fundamentally more deserving for having the time to wait in line outside a venue, or click reload on their computer for hours? It's funny that we implicitly accept that money is the way of assigning resources to their most valued use for most everything, but for some reason that logic doesn't apply to concert tickets.
If the performer were concerned about actually helping poorer people attend (rather than simply virtue-signaling), they could raise the ticket price to market value, and implement a lottery system for some block of tickets, similar to what the producers of Hamilton do. Best of both worlds!
