Submitted on 2009/02/08 at 11:42am 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!
