I can't imagine right now how that would work, telling an artist what they'd have to sell their concert ticket for, and besides, market value is always changing. It's fluid and sometimes you can predict it with some certainty but other times not. Remember I said we're talking about 1% of concert tickets, so it would be weird to have something you would apply just to the high-demand shows.
This has always been the way. The reason this is an issue now in this country is technology. When you used to line up, you'd run to the pay phone and dial 1-800-Ticketmaster or whatever to get in the queue to buy your tickets with your credit card, or you'd stand in line at HMV or Sam the Record Man six blocks away, hoping you would still get in the door to buy your tickets. We can't see the lineups any more and the way technology has evolved has been a convergence of all kinds of things. This is not going away. I do not think that regulation or certainly over-regulation is the answer, or regulation that would prohibit this growth and the organic nature and the excitement, frankly, of big high-demand shows.
It's part of the culture of big shows too, whether we like it or not. There are people who have all their friends lined up with laptops, pressing control-F or whatever to refresh, trying to get in, they're all trying to just be able to buy the four tickets they're allowed or whatever. That's where we are today and Canada is certainly not alone in that fact.
