    I know in my household, expenses rarely go down from year to year.  They usually go up.  So we need to earn the same or hopefully more than previous years.  

    The band is no different.  They are all accustomed to a certain amount of revenue coming in each year and I imagine they want to meet or exceed that each year without being hoggish about it. So they either have to play more shows at the same prices or play fewer shows but increase prices.  

    If the cost of making huge amount of tickets available to the fan club at below market rates is to allow the promoter to sell select seats at premium then I’m ok with it.  I wish tickets were still $19 each but it is what it is.
