I don’t think the performers have any control over the ticket
mess. They sign a contract for a
certain amount of money for so many shows; the rest is up to promoters and ticket agents. Saying that the performers do have an obligation to hold up their good names, and to insist before signing that the ticket agents and promoters abide by
ethical standards, they owe it to their fan base! I would not attend any of such artists concerts until they make sure their fans are treated fairly &
honestly. I think if the ticket agents got stuck with all those empty seats, the big
multi corporations who sponsor
the shows would have something
to say about it. Alternatively
people can work cooperatively and wait 2 days before the show
and then buy tickets. watch the
the ticket prices come down to
a reasonable price. But in a perfect World this may work, because someone always bails out of the plan & runs to the candy!
