Nowadays, two tickets and drinks cost me a minimum of $500. The cost for two small mixed drinks at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas is around $36. Ridiculous! The price for these concert experiences in 2024 is grossly inflated!
$16 in 1982 adjusted for inflation in 2024 comes to around $52.
Instead, I am now paying $200 to $250 per ticket for decent seats.

When really crappy seats in the upper tiers of footballs stadiums are 180.00 + fees, you're not even getting decent seats for 200-250.00!
Luckily, there are so few bands that I like that that play these large venues. I'm really grateful to be into bands that play smaller venues.
I wanted to go see the Chilli Peppers at a shed this summer - they wanted 100.00 + fees for lawn seats. No thanks.
