I think the Live Nation CEO is overpaid. That average of $146 per ticket will be much lower if you remove all the fees they tack on. Not to mention the scalper market that they actively encourage (because they get a cut of those too). Also, don’t completely absolve the artists. They absolutely have a say or at least they are aware of the dynamic pricing and scalper shenanigans.

Lost a lot of respect for Queens of the Stone Age for the bullshit ticket sale for the new shows they are doing. I wanted to see them but I said fuck that. I’m not paying 400$.
