Yes, I believe it should. Paying $50 bucks minimum for a concert is just ridiculous. It's a monopoly that the government hasn't bothered to regulate.
So . . . you want the gvernment to set the cost of ticket sales to what kind of concerts?
Then movie theaters are next?
How about the cost of drugs at concerts? oops. California is already trying to legalize drugs. my bad . . . hehehehehehehehehehehehehe!
See my response in how much actors make. We need less government control, not more. If consumers pay it, then they have every right to charge it. Consumers have the power to say no and miss the concert if they don't like the price. If enough people boycotted the concert because of the high price, they would lower it. The fact is, most consumers think it is "worth" it.
I disagree, it was a very good game, but donkey dong was better. No but for real, they should if they have the power whose to stop them?
I would rather that all ticket sales be allowed to fluctuate up or down from some considered market value. The goal of ticket sales should be to sell all tickets at whatever price people will pay for them. If that's 500 bucks or 5 (and whether that's 500 bucks or 5 for the same seats on a different day for a different event).
Good for California. (and without any government taxes or regulations, the prices would go down, so I'm guessing California will be trying to skim some off the top if they're going to make any legalisation move)
Movie theatre prices already do more or less what I would want to see happen elsewhere. They go up when demand is higher (evenings or weekends). They go down when demand is lower (daytime and mid-week specials). I'm noticing that something like StubHub works pretty well to achieve the same effect with sporting events and concerts.
There's no competition. It's all one big monopoly. Something has to be done about that.
