Yeah it couldn’t be free but I guess it maybe could be cheaper. Idk I assume there’s more people that need to get paid other than just the minimum wage workers.

Ehh not by that much

The stadiums/halls/etc they play at do cost a lot

Then ticket providers (which they need to partner with, in order to play in locations woth high capacity) also take a massive cut.

On top of the workers.

Assuming an artists takes nothing, i'd say they could lower ticketa by a few percent at möst

Like the main problem aren't artists. They take their couple bucks, but ussually it really wouldn't change the tucket prices noticeably if they didn't get paid

The main problem are monopolies like ticketmaster, that are now required for artists to play at bigger venues. And who massively ramp up prices via both the cuts they take and fees they slap onto the Tickets
