If the tickets were sold in an open market where they were priced for demand, thus putting them out of reach of many of the fans, maybe those fans would defocus on this one woman/act and go do something else. There could be other concerts.

It's not just about price and wealth inequality. If everyone decides they want to go to the same event then some will be disappointed and they'll complain bitterly.

I've been to large concerts and big stadium events. It's not worth it. The events actually seared into my mind are the tiny ones, like seeing a band I'd followed for years in a small bar in Copenhagen and being within arm's reach. What am I trying to say here? Those tickets that everyone is clamouring to get probably have a very low experience value if people would only seek out other things to fill the same hole they purport to have.
