I saw Potsy walking down a concourse at LAX... for free.
Led Zep maybe $10
On has to take into account the cost of money
1972 $10
2022 $65
This is an average inflation rate of 3.81% and cumulative inflation of 536.17%.
In retrospect, I always thought that drum kit I “stole” for $150 in 1970 was a great deal.
1971 $150
2022 $985
Maybe not as good of deal as I imagined.
In 1974 that $6 ticket was about 1/2 day of work ($1.75/hr min. wage I was making as a teen). Between inflation and getting better jobs as I aged, face price of a ticket might not be so bad after all. But thousand$$$ ? no thanks.
