The thing is, I doubt that even half of that $1000 ticket price is going to the actors, the producers and the venue. The professional scalpers buy them at face value and mark them up to whatever the market will bear. I realize that's capitalism, but it's also ripping off the creators.

I read that the Foo Fighters are playing a start up gig for their 26th anniversary tour (because the 25th was cancelled due to COVID-19). It's in a tiny venue in California. Tickets are $26 and non-transferable. One ticket per person and you have to show proof of COVID vaccination to get in.
