In this scenario, the band+seller are leaving money on the table again.
- nicoburns 4y agoAnd this is a problem why?
- thunky 4y agoThis of it like this: scalpers are currently taking money away from artists. Banning ticket resale would prevent scalpers from profiting, but does nothing to help the artists capture the money they've been missing all along. You may or may not consider that to be a problem.
- unethical_ban 4y agoSome bands prioritize access to their shows for all incomes over maximizing profit.
- thunky 4y agoHow do they do this, free shows?
- relaxing 4y agoYes.
- thunky 4y agoThat's nice, but not really relevant to the thread.
- unethical_ban 4y agoAre you being serious? By setting the price to something acceptable to them and not tolerating scalpers who try to push the prices up.
- thunky 4y agoYeah I was being serious, I don't disagree with that if that's what the artist wants. I think it's more likely most will opt to take higher prices though if they can get them, though.
