I’m having a hard time believing this story. The only people who might want to attend a concert....are folks in their mid-50’s, who remember this guy’s tunes. He hasn’t sold a hit in thirty years. If I were him and going to the US...I’m limit myself to strictly to the DC region and NY City, and hope that I could get maybe ten thousand tickets sold entirely.

He’s full of crap. Maybe people don’t want to go to his show because they don’t want to fund raise for terrorists.

Why does he care if tickets are scalped? If he and the promoter agree on a price a year in advance - and ticket buyers agree and sell it out - then why should anyone care if someone can flip the ticket later?

When you buy a ticket way in advance, you are doing the promoter and the artist, or the football team, etc, a favor - because you are buying their product at their asking price. Win win.

Later on, as the event nears, the ticket may rise or fall in value. So what? It’s the market at work.
