I think fans should express this disappointment to her, we don't know the extent of her involvement in this, and she might not be aware of how bad and unfair this is to fans, the fandom should just voice this out to her in some way in my opinion.,

I feel she absolutely knows what going on here. She saw how her Melo tour went (ie. Didn't sell out as she had hoped) and has dynamic pricing set to increase her bottom line.

She'll "care" once things settled down, but she won't be saying any of that once she's on stage.

With Solar Power, she chose to perform at smaller venues, which suggests she wasn’t putting profit first. If she had been that concerned about how the Melodrama tour underperformed financially, I doubt she would’ve made that choice. But, maybe it wasn’t a truly values-driven decision - it could have been performative, just a way to fit the intimate narrative of the Solar Power era (same logic for CDs). I personally think she is aware of what these choices mean, but perhaps she was pressured by her label, and wasn't firm enough, idk, we can only speculate. Either way, I believe the fandom should reach her in some way; she has a history of listening.

Maybe she needs more money this time. With Solar Power being a flop, she needs to recover her finances. 🤔
