Here we go again with the artist getting blamed for wanting to charge prices that don’t create a ridiculous profit opportunity for scalpers.

The same posting is on all major resale sites; this is StubHub. Very likely a broker. It's not unusual for brokers to get blocks of tickets legitimately. Doesn't imply OTL was violated. But you know that...
