Hozier set his ticket price at $99 for his May 17 show at Merriweather Post Pavilion, but scalpers have skyrocketed the ticket price to more than $5,000. Tickets for Mitski’s Sept. 1 concert at the Columbia, Maryland venue were set at $125, but scalpers are reselling them for more than $12,000. Scalping is nothing new to the concert industry, but Merriweather is trying to eliminate it with new legislation in Maryland.
