Ticket prices for an Ed Sheeran concert range from $140 to $5000. Most of them seem to be in the $200 range. How can any economy be really bad if people fill stadiums to hear music at those prices? Concerts are definitely not the basics of food, clothing and shelter.
I’ve paid $160 for an opera soprano’s concert. I’ve paid $500 in a charity auction for NASCAR All Star tickets.
Pop music concerts are $140 for just the worst of the worst sections (think the other end zone). I was just 20 feet away from the singer. (I normally pay $50 for her concerts — those first two I also met her but not this time but with a seat that had great acoustics and could see her.
Exactly.
