There is no reason that event tickets couldn't be sold similarly to airline seats.

The issue that spawned scalping and Ticketmaster is that musicians want to sell tickets under their market value. There's no analogous issue with airline pricing.

Only recently I realized the fact of musicians purposefully selling tickets much below of what people would actually pay. Never occurred to me, had to hear it in an podcast/interview.

I wonder how many simple facts of life like that one remain hidden right under my nose.
