A world of f’d up priorities.

Are young people not allowed to enjoy concerts?

I went to tons of rock concerts when I was young back in the 80s-90s. Buying tickets was relatively easy.

What this is, is a perfect example of things that used to work right in the past but that are now broken.

The online scalper/bot. model has really screwed with attending live events. In the old days, having to stand in line or call in on the phone limited scalping. I don't blame Swift at all for ensuring that if fans have to pay higher prices, the money should go to the artist rather than to scalpers.

I also like the idea paying more for better seats.

Anyone remember waiting in line at National Record Mart all night to get tickets?

Everyone is “allowed” to have f’d up priorities, at least for a while. In fact, who does not ever mistake the comfort zone for the end zone? But hundreds of dollars for the pleasure of watching someone expel orphic passions for a few hours? That’s a gross abuse of time and substance.
