Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing algorithm appears to target super fans specifically, with official ticket prices ranging from $105.25 to $4,769.52 (excluding VIP and hotel packages). This pricing strategy effectively means that the most dedicated fans, who register for artist pre-sales, end up paying significantly more than casual buyers.

While this approach ensures more revenue goes to artists rather than scalpers, it has sparked considerable backlash from fans who feel penalized for their loyalty. Despite the outcry, tickets continue to sell at these elevated prices, suggesting that the dynamic pricing model, though controversial, remains effective for high-demand shows.
