Fans around the world are growing increasingly frustrated with the rising cost of live music.
Major tours by global stars continue breaking attendance records, but ticket prices have become a major source of controversy. Dynamic pricing systems, resale markets and premium ticket packages have pushed the cost of attending concerts to unprecedented levels.

The debate has become one of the most important conversations in the music industry as live performances generate a larger share of artist revenue than ever before.
