Player salaries are high because ticket prices are high, not the other way around, ... The only way teams can charge high ticket prices is with fans willing to pay them. The only reason they're willing to pay is because they want to see talented players. But if you cut pay for players, it would just mean more money left for owners.

Apple prices probably not going to be any different. And a smaller apple has always been said to be a little sweeter. The apples may not be as appealing to the person who wants to get a big apple and bite it, you know, and have the juice run down their chin. They'll just have to bite two little apples and have the juice run down their chin. And that'll be a little sweeter then. That juice'll be a little bit sweeter.

Ticketmaster does not set prices. Live Nation does not set ticket prices. Artists set ticket prices.
