I guess going rates for concert tickets these days are $2,500 on up for cheap seats at that … remember when a dime bag cost a dime?

Sadly most of the bands I am interested in are gone or no longer tour.
I think in the past ten years, ticket prices ranged from $30-$100 dollars.
Ive paid $250-500 for VIP and meet & greet packages as well.

But to pay $2500 for bowl or nosebleeds? I dont theeenk so.

@LunarOrbit Hey for those meet and greet, wouldn't that be kind of weird since there would be several people bidding for the band's attention?
LunarOrbit · 56-60, M
@CestManan No. Not weird. Usually they are just a bonus with the best seats offered

I went to see Alice Cooper in 1979.
First concert. I think the tickets were $10 standing room only.
Then I saw Kiss in the mid 80's ...$12....

@SW-User It was so awesome.
My brother had gotten one of his albums for his birthday around that time.
Flash forward to about ten years ago he takes that same album to an Alice Cooper meet and great for Halloween. He got Alice to sign it and I guess he was pretty pumped because it was all beat to hell and stuff.

@Dainbramadge do you wish you could relive those days ?
Dainbramadge · 56-60, M
@SW-User I relive them every time I get to tell the story.
Hell I ain't stopped smiling yet. :-)

Wouldn't the expensive concerts though be for someone who was really popular?

I was looking at tickets in my town for a couple musicians that are not exactly Taylor Swift nor Pimp Daddy Slapahoe and the prices were $30 - $80.

@CestManan those are tickets for people who want to sit outside stadium and listen in

@SW-User That or concerts where it is some "nobody" musician.

Concert ticket prices are so disgusting now, but we can thank cheap streaming for that, barely anybody buys records/CD's anymore.

Festivals are cheaper and so many more bands
