Stop Artists From Price Gouging


Stop Artists From Price Gouging
The Issue
The joy of live music shouldn’t come with a price tag that exploits young fans. Many artists and ticketing platforms have embraced dynamic pricing, where ticket costs skyrocket based on demand—forcing students, young professionals, and dedicated fans to either break the bank or miss out.
A recent example is Sabrina Carpenter's "Short n’ Sweet" tour, where Face Value (FV) tickets ranged from $40 to $600, with prices surging as demand increased. This unfair system makes it nearly impossible for the very fans who have supported these artists from the start to attend their shows.
We’re calling on artists, managers, and ticketing companies to:
🎶 Cap ticket prices at a fair and reasonable rate
🎶 Eliminate predatory price surges due to demand
🎶 Ensure real fans—not scalpers or resellers—get access to tickets first 🎶 Allow artists to be transparent with ticket prices up front
Music should be about the experience, not a financial burden. Sign this petition if you believe in fair pricing for all fans or have ever felt personally victimized by TM! 🎤✨
