Willem van Bergen

Working with you on so many cool things has been a highlight of my career. You deserve a break, and I am eager to learn what you do next!

The point is not to limit the resellers profits. The point is to give people with a smaller budget a chance to attend a show.

So regulations to prevent reselling at a higher price from happening are much more defensible. Although it’s hard to get that right.

Probably not. I see this more as a reason why artists would want to limit their ticket prices.

However, if a lot of non-fans would be able to obtain tickets and resell them at a higher price, these benefits disappear quickly. With online sales this is hard to prevent.

- Lineups and stuff being sold out can be a great signalling & marketing tool - it creates attention and triggers FOMO.

- Standing in line with fellow fans of an artist adds rather than subtracts to the experience.
