It's never going to be a popular opinion to suggest that something currently affordable by music fans isn't expensive enough – but hear me out. The problem is, the "price" we see on the tickets to today's biggest concerts is essentially a myth: for every one of these gigs,You can get peplum dresses in all kinds of prints and fabricsthigh highs wholesale one colour blocks to contrast colours to stripes. thousands of tickets are being bought then sold for huge profits via online resale platforms. This "secondary market" has become its very own parasitic industry: technologically endowed racketeers snap up all the best seats, freezing genuine music lovers out of any chance of paying face value. This reprehensible practice from these "e-touts" ensures that many fans' only option is to buy from them for a hugely inflated price.Artists do not see a penny of this resale profit. Selling the most sought-after seats at a higher price in the first place would force touting scumbags to flog tickets for even more exorbitant amounts to make a profit – upping their risk and ultimately killing their so-called business. 

To even suggest that tickets are "currently affordable" by most music fans is the first problem here. Ticket prices have soared astronomically in the last decade. This is partly because musicians are seeking higher guarantees from their promoters of breaking even a big issue these days when record sales are so volatile but also because artists see their competitors raking in the big bucks:skull bikini set  ￡450 for Barbra Streisand; ￡85 for Leonard Cohen. They want some of that. This culture of greed is endemic, but perhaps that's a wider issue. 

The bigger question is this: why should only richer fans have access to the best seats? Do we really want gig-going to be the sole preserve of people who can, and will, flash their cash about? We live at a time where the divide between the rich and poor is getting horribly pronounced, bodystockings and it's sad that pop and rock concerts should reveal this so very literally.I also can't see how upping prices would kill off online resale sites. This move would further penalise fans without money or access to credit, and allow Mr Moneybags to plunder his bottomless bank account a little more – and enjoy a front row free of the common people.
