Wouldn't this be case-by-case? That argument makes perfect sense if we're talking about a bar hosting a band, but I can't apply that same logic to a stadium whose cost was largely borne by taxpayers with the promise it would enrich public life.

Maybe if they charged market rates for tickets the taxpayers wouldn't have to pay for the stadium.

Sure, but we're talking about the finals here, not a regular season game. Of course a huge number of people want to go. During the regular season I have no problems getting tickets. Demand is huge, so the price goes up.
