Concerts costing that much are never worth it. I spend ~400$ for 2 nosebleed SZA tickets for my wife 2 years ago. We were watching the jumbotron the whole time.
My birthday shows this year are 30 and 50 a ticket and we can actually be see the musicians. I know I’m being a dumb hipster, but its so hard to justify ticket prices for large artists. What’s the point of going to a football stadium to listen to live music. You could get a decent home sound system for the same price
The cheap tickets could be better than close seats anyway. It’s easier to hide a joint when you’re sitting amongst a chaotic sea of blankets in the lawn section. Oh yeah, and you get to lie down on a blanket.
I can’t imagine close seats could match the experience of either dancing freely without seats getting in the way, or lying back on a soft blanket, stoned with your friends, as one of your favorite artists performs live music nearby. Why would I spend more money to throw those perks away?
We have a local place a couple cities over (013 in Tilburg) tickets usually are like €32 and large beer is €6 (i usually do well on 2) so that makes it €44 for a live performance from a band i actually enjoy (some pretty big names show up here).
Now of only i could still function for the two remaining workdays after a concert there, i would still go there.
But i’m probably getting old because it completely cripples me until after the weekend. Which is too high of a price as it puts my job at risk.
I could pay $1200 for concert tickets or $0 for D&D

Watch it, we’re people too
What about the Funyuns and Mt.Dew?
DM and demand tribute
i think dnd is the one game I’ve spent more money on than warframe.
$1200! I could buy like 2 snowboards for that(1 split board), or another bike. Are concerts like a status symbol now?
Nah, ticket sales & venues are largely a monopoly in the US and we’re seeing the impact of that on our live event costs.
