That may meet your priorities and maybe even the band's but it most definitely does not meet Ticketmaster's in a world where they can offload all the tickets in 15 minutes and charge the maximum palatable fees with basically no variable costs.
And Ticketmaster is in control of this process, so...
- brudgers 10y agoAfter commenting, I suspect that the TicketMaster system meets the requirements of most bands. This is noted in the article for the reason you mentioned, but I think the current situation provides additional business utility to the performers. $70 tickets don't segment the market in the same way $700 tickets do. The expected lifetime value of one $700 a ticket fan is probably much more than the expected lifetime value of a $70 a ticket fan. The $70 a ticket fan might be stretched and is less likely buy a hoodie and get drunk on craft beer and use valet parking...all of which the band gets a cut.
