this isnt healthcare, no one is forced to buy floor tickets to bad bunny for $1K with a gun to their head
no, however it shows us how unhealthy the industry is right now. I think it’s important to push back before the average arena ticket price looks more like this

The only way to push back is to stop buying them.
that goes without saying, I would like the conversation to change from “oh well at least the resellers aren’t getting them” to “ticket companies need to have a regulated face value ticket exchange program”

I think saying ‘just don’t buy them’ is overlooking the fact that there is still a large percentage of the population that is still buying those tickets which spills over to other artists using the same practices. The Björk’s, the Springsteens, and so on. We’re at a point where artists have given up on making money off streaming and solely will ride these high ticket prices until the well is dry.

but like what else can we do. the artists are going to try to maximize their profits, theres nothing we can do to stop that

You just said yourself that concert tickets aren't a necessity. A single bad bunny ticket could buy you fifty shows by local or smaller bands or artists who aren't millionaires already, if you want to use your disposable income on that. It's easier than ever to find out about new musicians and support them so it fucking sucks that they can't make a living off of touring yet celebrity businessmen and women can charge this much, plus make a fortune on merch that small artists have to have *the venues* take a cut of, because of parasocial attachment to a person they'll never meet and artificially creating a monocultural advertising event like the Eras tour. I think it's very funny that Travis Scott and Zach Bryan's tours have failed to do this

I can’t fathom spending $1000 for any one show, let alone some “just another stop” arena show in Boise or Indianapolis or whatever. It would make a little more sense to me if this was like, Bad Bunny’s final show ever and he’s going to have a bunch of guests and it’s in his hometown and you’re really just paying to be able to say you were there. But we’re talking about any old Tuesday night in Kansas City, where he’ll go on to do the same show on Thursday in Chicago.
This is the first message board I've ever been on, the only reason I joined is because I love Bonnaroo and wanted to read and talk about it all year long.
Upcoming Shows: 10/18 - Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit & Iris DeMent @ Ryman Auditorium 11/8 - Goose @ The Andrew J. Brady Center 11/13 - Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros w/ The Wolfpack & The Cincinnati Pops Orchestra @ Cincinnati Music Hall 2/14 - Alan Walker @ The Fillmore Detroit 4/15 - Ben Folds w/ The Cincinnati Pops Orchestra @ Cincinnati Music Hall

I think I've only passed the $200 concert ticket mark twice in my life - the U2 360 show where my step-mom wanted to shell out for nice seats, and the Florence + the Machine Disney Concert Hall show in 2018, which was a special show. Otherwise, even with inflation and a better paycheck and living in the most expensive market for concerts, I try to keep things in the double digits if I can.
That said, I've won a crazy number of contests and giveaways the last two years (well over $500 worth), and that's certainly helped me go to things while budgeting.
