xmunk,

Here’s the core unresolvable issue with concert tickets… there is a lot of demand and venues have limited space. If you allow open ticket bidding the prices will be insane - but if you don’t then people will work around the system. If someone offered you 30k for an eras ticket you’d be an idiot not to take that deal… and those rich folks might just hire people to make sure they get one of the first tickets anyways.

I don’t know if there’s any solution to this problem that doesn’t feel shitty but one salve is not obsessing over global celebrity, there are, in every corner of the world, interesting local bands that cost nothing more than the price of a beer to see. Three billion people won’t see Taylor Swift in her lifetime no matter what she does - her live, in person, performances are a limited resource.
