Link to full article is below if you want to read it, but I’ll save you a click if you don’t want to.

Key reasons mentioned as to why some artists can’t move tickets:

1. A lot of acts are on tour right now due to pandemic bounce back.

2. Ticket prices are ridiculously high (i.e. Fuck Ticketmaster).

3. Artists are trying to play venues larger than their fan base can support.

4. The ticket buying process can be very frustrating (i.e. Fuck Ticketmaster).

5. Online views / streaming plays don’t necessarily translate to ticket sales.

6. There is no competition in the ticket selling space and thus little incentive for anyone to improve things (i.e. Fuck Ticketmaster)

My wife and were thinking about going to see the Eagles at The Sphere because their tour dates line up with when we’ll be visiting Vegas, but we’d be looking at around $1300 for a night out (more than 2/3 of that for the tickets alone).

Not insane at all for Vegas of course but a decent chunk of change for us.
