£100+ for a concert ticket is a real shame. I used to be an avid concert goer but that was when I could see some great acts at around £25 a go and that would be expensive 🫰.
You can still see many acts at that price. You can’t see Taylor Swift at that price.

Or listen to genres where 99% of artists will never reach mainstream popularity and charge these kinds of prices. For example Lorna Shore is currently touring Europe with Rivers of Nihil, Ingested and Distant. Most shows have been sold out for months, in nice venues, and yet I got tickets for the Paris show for 35€.

Or maybe people aren’t seeing as much music because ticket prices are high? It’s certainly that way for me.

I think it’s us who are cursed with her existence.
Why would you want to see a billionaire cunt?
Better than being near you.
In other news: “people who can’t afford holidays go to a gig instead, now also struggle to afford to go to a gig”
I wonder what’s next. We won’t be able to afford to go to the cinema!
Weirdly cinema prices are cheaper than I ever remember them being before
I was interested in seeing the Smashing Pumpkins when they come to town next year. But not £158 interested.
His wrestling promotion isn’t going to fund itself, at least not after that coke sniffing segment.
I’m questioning the term ‘average’. There’s a club in Newcastle that does a couple of free gigs a week, I’d suggest that’s not an isolated case. Of course there’s some big tours with £500 tickets but aren’t they still pretty rare?
Yeah I’m guessing the fancy seats at a big stadium are swaying this? It’s rare for me to pay over a tenner to be honest though up to £35 is the norm I’d say. But then I’m not watching Taylor Swift in a stadium.
You could buy a week’s worth of food for that money.
Keep paying. And they will keep them rising.
