> The enjoyment of attendees can be partly dependent on the enthusiasm of other attendees. Consider the extremes: an audience entirely comprised of people who hardly know the artist, but can afford it Vs an audience comprised of only die-hard fans, irrespective of their ability to afford a ticket. The first has a flat atmosphere, the second, a special one.
Higher ticket prices would lead to more diehard fans
> A simple desire by the artist to make their show available to a cross-section of society
But if scalping is a problem then making tickets cheap doesn’t accomplish this.
In total, this seems to point towards raising initial prices with negative consequence.

We have such drastic inequality that $200 is literally impossible for a huge fraction of the population wheras to some people its an afterthought to spend for a laugh. You can literally notice it in a venue when ticket prices are higher, the atmosphere is different, the clothing is different, the energy of the dancing, the singing profile of somebody with money to spend: 40+, knowledge worker, drained of energy, has a lot of things going on in life profile of the kind of fan that makes your show trendy: <30, sporadic employment, excess energy, impulsive, carefree
