I really don't see the point of a live concert VR. The experience will be completely different. Releasing a well recorded and edited version once per tour makes much more sense to me.
The ticket problem needs to be solved but it won't when you have the biggest ticket sellers (Ticketmaster) owning marketplaces for second-hand tickets. I recently read one of these companies was buying tickets and then putting them on the secondary marketplace themselves at a huge markup.
As for booking extra shows - I don't know why this doesn't happen. Maybe they don't have the data? Much better for an artists brand if they sell out 2 nights than have 3 nights with none of them sold out.
NB: The biggest artists (selling out places like the O2 Arena in London for multiple nights) rarely charge over $60/£50 for general admission. The only people I see charging $100 are well established older acts (Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, etc.).
It isn't that I don't appreciate your point about a live VR concert being different, and right now if I simply put on a VR headset and was there (without any other tweaks at all) there would be a limit to how 'cool' it would be. That said, I'm a Radiohead fan, if they offered an option to go to a rare gig to see them play, in VR (either VR or nothing) I would certainly consider it. If you then said that VR technology is going to continue to improve, and I'll be able to sit there with my friends, watching the band, taking virtual photographcs of the band, optionally discussing the show with others, etc. maybe it starts to actually start getting quite interesting.
