  Hahaha, no

  The artist doesn’t get any say in it, and the promotor is only able to suggest pricing but can’t enforce it

    Do you have a source for this? The Ticketmaster FAQ states the artist or promoter sets the base price.

        That was my original point. The artist or promoter is able to set the face value price, but Ticketmaster adds fees on top.

    They do, that’s ticket masters entire value add for them.(Well that and the fact that they control a lot of venues).

    You get mad at ticket master and not the artist.
