Nothing was added to it — same seat, same band, same night — the number simply moved while you were waiting, the way a taxi fare climbs when the rain starts. That is not a bug in the system. It is the system working exactly as designed, and the design has a name: dynamic pricing, and it has been quietly reshaping what a gig ticket costs for over a decade.</p>Tue, 28 May 2024 16:45:00 +0000
