    I’ve never understood how people can shell out that much for tickets to anything. Sit in uncomfortable seats for a couple hours then go home - what the hell is the attraction??

      Festival style concerts. I’m not going to as many these days, and they were much cheaper back in my day, but I’d certainly pay a hundred bucks for a day or two’s worth of music hanging out with people and so forth.

      There are enough people for whom $1000 is like $20 for you to fill stadiums.

      It’s a good gauge of changes in income inequality, because the supply is inelastic - the stadiums can’t expand to hold more people, but ticket prices can change according to what the top 1% are willing to pay.

      I’m glad my favorite bands sell tickets in the $20-50 range. Though I almost always get a T-shirt or something, and maybe a drink, the total night out is under $200. I just couldn’t justify spending more than that.
