Performers have no inalienable rights to have their tickets not resold. Writers have MSRPs on books. If the first print 200 years from now becomes a collectors edition, am I not allowed to sell it higher (or even 2 days later)? Barry Bonds’ record HR baseball MSRP is at retail $4.99 but goes for $750k because it’s part of history (big event—just like a concert). If performers were that worried about keeping pricing down they would do more tours in the same cities.
The laws against scalping, and the contractual agreements they have with authorized vendors would indicate otherwise.z
Au contraire, if they had the power (which unfortunately they usually don’t when they are depending on a promoter) they could apply any condition they wish, just like airlines do to seats they sell.
