I can't believe I spent $400 to see a "Weird Al" Yankovich concert a few years ago.

I sez, “What’s in a name?” d;^)

$9? dang, can’t buy a bottle of water at a concert for that today.

Weird Al is here in August and I’m dying to see him. I love him so much I’d give him a kidney.

My 8th grade grammar teacher would read the first paragraph and ask you to rewrite this.

We have to.know how much the costs are, adjusted for inflation, to make meaningful comparisons.

I’ve got a Rhino Handmade Doors concert (Detroit, longest show they recorded live). I think the liner notes show an ad for Tom Jones at the same venue that month (1969 if I recall) for $25. Extrapolate that for modern dollars.

Thing is there weren’t excessive handling fees back then.

Why? So you could understand it? Sorry that you never made it past the 8th grade.

Was alcohol involved in writing this article?

Saw a pre-fabulous Elton John at Hilton Coliseum, ISU... cost of ticket for a passable seat was a whopping $2.50.

Nowadays, I'd charge him ten times that to watch me mow the yard.

Oh for it to be 9/25/77 again and know what I know now!!!

His videos on youtube are very clever...lots of fun...but I doubt that I’d pay money to see him.

I bought Rolling Stones tickets this tour for $25. Handling was $17 though. But still $25.

Price of that ticket is why I won’t see Fleet today. The seats on current tour were $1,000+ for floor. Oh and they kicked out Lindsey again.....

[TexasGator]

No. Because you violated grammar rule #1’

[SamAdams76]

I guess my grammar got better as I chugged along.

Kind of like some rock bands start their concerts. You get some discordant sounds, some guitar feedback noise, and then somebody in the back yells 1-2-3, the lights flood the stage, and everything suddenly kicks into high gear.

One Weird Al concert.

Good experience.

The online BLS inflation calculator says that $9 in 1977 dollars is equivalent to $37.46 in 2019 dollars. Good luck finding a concert ticket for that price today.
