It largely depends on the artist.

Before going on tour, artists usually set revenue targets.

These can be based on how complex a show is to produce and who needs to get paid.

It's up to promoters to market the show and hit those revenue targets.

They may do this by selling merchandise or parking packages, but ticket sales steer the ship.

Artists also have the option to sign up for Ticketmaster's face value exchange program.

This way, people can't sell their ticket for more than what they paid for it.

But tickets sold this way can't be transferred, which could be a problem for large groups.

So Ticketmaster says some artists opt out.

NPR has reached out to Harry Styles' team to see if he'll sign up, but hasn't heard back.

Polyester in clothing is more common than in recent years.

It's largely fueled by fast fashion consumers who want to be on trend and pay as little as possible, and the retailers that want to meet consumers' demands while keeping expenses low.

But in some cases, polyester clothing doesn't hold up for long.

As people toss them, abandoned clothing is ending up on coastlines in other countries.

And they could stay there.

Polyester isn't biodegradable.

Erin Stubbins, an environmental sciences professor at Northeastern University, says a lot more research is needed to draw conclusions about how polyester could be impacting our surroundings.
