Some bands prioritize access to their shows for all incomes over maximizing profit.

How do they do this, free shows?

[unethical_ban]

Are you being serious?

By setting the price to something acceptable to them and not tolerating scalpers who try to push the prices up.

[thunky]

Yeah I was being serious, I don't disagree with that if that's what the artist wants. I think it's more likely most will opt to take higher prices though if they can get them, though.

[relaxing]

Yes.

[thunky]

That's nice, but not really relevant to the thread.
