Rest assured that Ticketmaster is doing all this pricing, fees, and ticket availability at the discretion of the artists and artist's management. Ticketmaster is happy to play the bad guy. Many tickets are never sold at the original face price but go directly to the 'verified resale' market with TM sharing the profits with the teams\artists.

Example, The Black Keys were scalping their own tickets for 20x and ordered Ticketmaster to revoke tickets resold on the secondary market.
