“Every artist could say that - ‘I don’t want that’ - and it would disappear. But you know artists hide behind management”: Robert Smith on his frustrations with Ticketmaster and dynamic pricing

Robert Smith.

It’s an issue that artists are increasingly having to have an opinion on. But in case we weren’t sure before, Robert Smith has come out decisively against ‘dynamic pricing’

In a new interview on his own website, Smith has described the practice as a “scam”. He describes what happened when he insisted on a pricing system with Ticketmaster where by some tickets for Cure shows could be as low as $25.
