And to create artificial scarcity, thus allowing higher ticket prices to be charged.
Using your capacities, instead of fans competing to buy from among 70,000 seats, now the same number of fans are competing to buy from among 38,000 seats. The seat market size has been reduced by 46% while the number of customers is unchanged.
Higher prices inevitably follow.
