> Your answer is to become the reseller and charge more putting the reseller out of business?

No, that's what the promoter should do.

> Now you have increased profits short term and increased risks. And only rich fans can attend. This works for some stars and against other star'a brand.

No, it's doesn't have to be this way. Price could start at $1000, but the minimum could be as low as $50.

Yes, the rich fans would get their tickets first, but after the first 50% tickets are sold, all the remaining tickets could cost $50.

This way, at least theoretically, all the rich fans would get their tickets directly, and the resellers would go out of business.
