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.
