If you think Ticketmaster sets the price of tickets… you’re wrong – the artists does.

If the supply is 52 stadiums but the demand is 900 stadiums (per NYT’s) you don’t automatically deserve a ticket because you are a fan. Demand exceeded supply!

Per dynamic pricing…. Artists have watched front row tickets go for 10x-20x face value from scalpers but see none of the upside. Ask yourself if that is fair. It may suck… but is it fair?

Leave it to grandstanding politicians to get involved in something they know nothing about…. And leave it to artists to shrug their shoulders and point the blame.

This is a hard question… if you make a living playing live and someone is willing to pay 2k for front row but you are expected to keep the price 200$ would you? And is that fair? You play 10 shows now to make that same money.

Dynamic pricing so the artist sees upside… not the scalpers

Just to point out… TM / LN lose lots of money on many many tours.

Thanks for commenting on this situation and yes… @PearlJam is truly for the people. I believe a combination of web3 / NFT’s w verified fan and dynamic pricing may give us the best of both worlds. This is one of the things @DeathbatsClub is trying to solve. https://t.co/lJpTH8B5gy

Ticketmaster raising at the artists discretion and the artist sees the profit

In this case I feel they did. 3.5m people signed up for verified fan. 1.5 got tickets… most of these people will sell the tickets because the profit is so large. I think thats alot of whats happening.
