Why should one of the biggest alt rock bands of all time charge less for shows, so you can go? I can’t imagine anyone but Foo Fighters fit into the same category and are more popular.

Literally millions of fans want to go to their shows, charging less would only mean they sell out in seconds rather than minutes.

His comment is an example of market forces. At 100 dollars they priced him and others out.

If millions will go see a show why hide the service charge/fee? Why not auction all tickets?
