Price of tickets is outrageous.

 

 

They are nowadays

 

I no longer go to concerts that cost more than $20

 

In the 70's & 80's concerts used to cost less than the album / CD, and that seemed right.

 

What changed?

Those numbers for the Worcester Centrum show include some people who had purchased tickets to the show in Providence, which was cancelled due to poor ticket sales. If you had a ticket to the Providence show the promoter provided free bus transportation from Providence to Worcester. The day I went to purchase tickets to the Providence show was the day that the show was cancelled.

[Big Guy 1,400]

 

everyone steals music and that's the best way for them to make $

 

But I thought $10 Water Bottles & $50 T Shirts was the best way

 

It's a scam I tell ya, and I'm not going to enable the fockers lol

[Big Guy 1,400]

 

everyone steals music and that's the best way for them to make $

 

But in reality like the rest of the music business, the artist gets only a small fraction of the money. And yeah, if idiots are willing to pay thousands for front row seats, then those same idiots are the problem for the average concert goer.
