What’s stopping tickets having fixed prices?

Should “dynamic pricing” be legal?


Some people are willing to pay inflated prices for concert tickets so the market has adapted accordingly. The performers must benefit from this indirectly otherwise, as you say, why would a set price not work?

I can see the argument for secondary sales but if you buy a ticket for an event and then decide not to go then you should take the financial hit, not make a profit.
