Just Play More Shows

One theory floating around out there as a solution to absurdly high ticket prices for popular bands is that these bands should just play more shows in each location. That's what LCD Soundsystem did recently in New York City (not sure if it worked or not). It's probably only a solution for larger bands, but I find the idea intriguing, although I'm sure bands with obsessive followers would be psyched to try and catch multiple nights of, say, U2, which would defeat the purpose.
