Ha. Wall Street would punish businesses for leaving money on the table, and this is the Wall Street Journal arguing to make less money in a global market for tickets and merch. Hard to believe this freakout over exercise of pricing power. And I missed the WSJ article pointing out the inanity of giving the US president a "peace" medal.
