They don’t work because concert tickets are still under valued. If an artist can sell out a 9,000 person venue at $20 a seat, and then they find out they can still sell out the same venue charging $200 a seat - just to a different crowd, then they are going to go with the $200 option.
I love going to concerts and now that I’m older I mostly avoid General Admission tickets, so I’m already paying more. This year I’ve gone to 6 concerts and on average I’ve paid around $120 per ticket. While expensive, I’ve never felt like what I paid wasn’t worth it. But, when it comes to beer/water/food I always feel that it’s over priced and not worth the cost. Don’t get me started on the employee asking for a 20% tip on a $20 beer.
Artists absolutely do have a say on the matter, they can say no. They can not tour. They can only do small venues that don’t use Live Nation. They can use other ticketing services - although the most expensive concert I went to this year was Rolling Stones and they didn’t use Ticketmaster.
Artists choose to go with Live Nation because it makes them money, provides a better ticketing experience for their fans, and gives the artist a boogeyman to blame for high ticket costs. Pearl Jam tried to fight this fight in the 90s and realized that there isn’t a better alternative if they wanted to tour and make money. They chose to keep touring and went back to using Ticketmaster.

Watch the video. Neither the artist nor the venue have any real say on the matter.
