The prices rose with inflation, and more importantly there have been obscene price hikes for touring industry expenses in particular. There’s actually a good chance prices will go down once these things subside. Over the past year, tons of the concerts I went to didn’t sell out and their tickets were selling well below face on Stubhub. Artists don’t want empty seats at their shows and they’ll price their tickets accordingly.

Well Blink was a special case given that is was a reunion gig for a really popular band. That's not to say their prices weren't incredibly greedy.
