I bet you'll see a pretty tight correlation between rate of ticket price increase and rate of population growth. This isn't a "capitalism ruined X" problem. It's a "too many people" problem. When supply is so far outstripped by demand of course prices soar.

more population means more artists and artistry, which means more concerts, but please go ahead and make this about "overpopulation"

Taylor Swift is the most popular artist right now by a long shot. I'd say less of an over population problem and more of a social media hype machine problem lol. There are plenty of other incredible artists one can go to for much less. Even Ed Sheeran who is very very popular can be seen in my area for less than $50.
