I’d love to see Gaga live, but no one should pay £350 to see anyone or even half that

Anyone paying £350 for a single show is part of the problem of why we have to pay that.

Yes, and yet people don’t seem to recognise this

Yep. I'm a hypocrite as I paid through the nose for my chemical romance, with the justification of it was an extra £25 to guarantee being at the front, touring one of my favourite albums.

 

But, £350 for a gig is not something I want to be part of. I paid half that for Paul McCartney, thinking logically...he won't be touring forever.

We just need to remember how much £350 actually is!

It's almost a G ticket isn't it? 🙂

Probably currently about £50 off. I wouldn't compare it to Glastonbury though as a lot of their acts do it for exposure.

 

But if Reading pull in Foos on a £350 bill. Their tickets on as much but that's the comparison. I still think to myself getting a LP ticket that sold for £317 originally for £95 was probably my bargain of the century.

 

I get people are split with really wanting to go and some acts just aren't going to twicket cheap but if people don't pay then tickets will have to reduce.

 

But for that you need tickets to go on sale and no one buys

This is what needs to happen, but it won’t. 
 

There’s been plenty of protests, including walkouts among football fans, usually having some effect, e.g. freezing of prices.

That's how much some Gaga tickets were? And not even the VIP ones? Crikey. 

 

US economics at play alright, given there seem to be so many acts who play out there charging in excess of 200-300 dollars for tickets. And I know average earnings in America are more than in the UK but it's still pretty f**king extreme there

We could sit here and critique concert prices forever to be fair.
