"The average price for a popular concert has more than tripled since the mid-90s, vastly outpacing inflation, and that’s before the resale market...Oliver called on Congress to pass policies that would force transparency on ticket-selling sites, “but the truth is, much of the power here is actually in the hands of the artists. Because the biggest ones could do things to tamp down the secondary market,” such as making their tickets non-transferable or offering platforms for fans to resell tickets without a profit."
