Fewer people go to concerts, fans can’t afford the tickets, less connection with the artists, less interest in music overall.

Artists lose, even if they get paid and all the tickets technically are sold out. Fans lose. The only people who win are scalpers who just abuse the system.

Scalpers don't buy tickets and not sell them. The most scalped concerts are obviously the most attended

> fans can’t afford the tickets

See above. I assume what you are upset about is that rich fans are the ones going.

> less connection with the artists, less interest in music overall

I think you need to explain your logic here.
