Welcome to the Lockn' Forum - The home of the original Lockn' Music Festival family!
The bands are stuck and pretty much have to use them. There have been many efforts to get out from under them, just as there have been fights against Ticketmaster. What's interesting--and I in no way like industrial scalping--is that the resale business is one of the last examples of free market capitalism. If a $60 DeadCo ticket sells for $120 on the resale market, then the value of that ticket is $120, not $60, and the initial price is merely a deep discount. To the artists' credit, they don't come out of the box with the $120 market price, even though they could, and they sit back and watch the scalpers get what would be their pure profit. Let's say the artist's profit on a $60 ticket was $15. The artist should have $75 profit at market price since his cost does not change with price. That is a significant amount of money to give to someone else, who certainly does not deserve it. But the artists keep the price below market to make them accessible, or at least appear accessible, to the fans--a good will gesture. For that reason, IMO, Live Nation's selling to the scalpers is an immoral violation of trust because it guts the artists' effort, at great loss to the artist, to make tickets accessible. Please note: This forum is in no way officially associated with Lockn' Festival or its promoters.

So that’s why those red dot seats are already there for D&C tickets when they go on sale. Can’t say I remember seeing that with Phish

They did it at the request of a consultant working for the band.
Bands have been working to collect that marked up profit for themselves. And I kind of think I'd rather have the band keep the money than the scalper/reseller.
