> That doesn't mean they have the leverage to take 90% of the money for themselves

Listen, that's exactly what they have. The music business mostly exists to screw artists out of money made from their work, probably more now than ever.

The artist signs a contract to pay for X dollars, that's what they get and they have no leverage whatsoever to go after that upside. Ticketmaster would have to share the data about the dynamic pricing in the first place and they are NOT doing that.
