This doesn’t make any sense, and isn’t how a market works. Reducing supply to increase demand only works if you are the manufacturer of the item… if you have to buy up the entire market and hold them out to raise prices, it isn’t going to work because you are going to be stuck with inventory you paid too much for. I do agree with you that the solution should be to have the artist make the money… they should raise ticket prices or us an auction system to match the price to the demand.
