Why big artists are giving away their tickets for free

Big artists on tour at the moment are struggling to sell out their concerts. The recent Jay-Z and Beyonce shows, as well as Taylor Swift and the Rolling Stones had trouble filling the stadiums. Some music fans on social media said promoters were giving out free tickets outside the venues. Tickets to see big acts like these can cost more than £100. Rolling Stones tickets can set you back £200 just for a seat, rising to £450 to get close to the stage. Jay Unger went down to a Foo Fighters concert to talk to fans. Peter White presents.
