      Honestly, ticket prices are just extremely high. I looked at Chris Stapleton ones and all the ones that weren’t standing were 300 plus –

      It used to be, even in tough times the two things that people could afford is music and beer. Those always sold. 

      Trump is a guy that bankrupted multiple casinos. Are we really surprised by this?

      I hate Trump as much as the next guy, but even in a better economy, ticket prices are outrageous and the fans are responding.

      My TV is 60 inches wide . My sound system is great . My drinks are $3 and all the people around me I love and enjoy being around .

      Apparently we have money for Coachella (presale sold out in record time). 🤷🏻‍♀️

      We are increasingly in a K shaped economy. I forget where I saw it but something like 50% of the consumer spending is done by the top 10%

      Bought tix for Bonnie Raitt. Drunk chicks behind us wouldn’t shut up. Ruined the whole show and we paid a lot of money. I’m done.

      Nobody is going to pay $$$$ to see the Pussycat Dolls perform with only half their lineup. There used to be 6 now there’s 3.

      The tickets bots are also still out of control – even snapping up seats for smaller shows. A concert I recently went to was “sold out” for weeks but the reseller prices doubled face value and then crashed to as low as $7 (from $70 face value) a few days before showtime.

      The fact that these so called smart people running the economy didn’t foresee this is very on-brand for them.

      Maybe music artists should realistically value their worth and and be fine with not taking in millions of dollars on every show

      I dont think any President made concert tickets so completely out of reach for ordinary people. Ticketmaster did that on their own.

      Anyone surprised ?… the world hands US an economic boost, and Trump finds a way to even fuck that up!

      This article is so dumb and doesn’t even mention anything about the root cause which is that live nation/ticketmaster are a monopoly with zero oversight or accountability.

      Those assholes have text convos between each other laughing about milking audiences dry with the costs of everything.

      Also whoever was dealing with the gov prosecution against them being a monopoly definitely let them off with barely a slap on the wrist. Thankfully individual states are winning those cases against them.

      This administration is so blatantly corrupt and only interested in getting giant companies money that kiss the ring that it’s going to inevitably destroy the companies when they can’t squeeze any more profits out of us. It just sucks that the artists suffer as well no matter what level they’re at.

      Tickets for a cover band at a local venue were recently $70. For a cover band. Lol I don’t think so guys. I’ll pass.

    25. Mephistocheles on

      Oh, so very sorry, I’m crying in the corner because they can’t charge $300 per ticket to rip fans off brutally when all they want to do is see their favorite band live. Cry me a bucket of justice.

    28. JAW0524 on

      It isn’t the economy. It’s the ridiculous prices. I hope they don’t sell any tickets!

    29. Radionowhere93 on

      Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely loathe Trump but Ticketmaster deserves a big fuck you and maybe even the lion’s share of the blame as well. Ticket prices are absolutely ridiculous these days

    30. myirishmolly on

      I used to strive for two concerts a month. I have no future concerts planned for the first time in 20+ years. $100 per ticket (minimum with fees) is batshit. My mental health is suffering, live music is my church. I hate everything. ☹️

    31. dm-me-yer-b00bies on

      One of my favorite bands is playing in my city this year and I don’t think I can go because the $200 I want to spend on the ticket will get eaten up by higher gas prices in about 3 weeks.

    32. DoubtingThomas50 on

      I agree, but come on. These events have become bastions for the wealthiest Americans.

      On an earnings call today Disney stated that demand at the parks has not dropped ANY. Why? Because only 15 to 20% of American families can afford to go to Disneyland.

    33. FaithlessnessPublic9 on

      Ever wonder how someone could bankrupt so many businesses? Maybe it’s because he does so on purpose. He takes all the profit, and leaves the business with all the debt. It’s his MO. Privatize profits, socialize debt. I’m so sick of nobody acting in the best interests of common Americans. Fuck billionaires and fuck republicans.

    34. BigBadJeebus on

      or…. maybe… make tickets less than $500 for lawn seats…

      I should not be able to take a family of 4 to Disney Land for less than it costs to need binoculars to see a singer…

    35. KrasnyRed5 on

      When your barely surviving, $400 for a concert ticket simply isn’t doable.

    36. rosymindedfuzzz on

      I was an avid concert-goer, but I’ve had to scale back on at least 50% of shows I would normally go see. Same with travel, which is down to almost zero now.

    37. Chaos_Theory1989 on

      …as Trump’s economy forces people to starve or die from access to healthcare. Fixed it.

    40. GlobalLion123 on

      Our national debt is now 39 trillion dollars and we can’t even enjoy a concert, but kid rock can fly around in an army helicopter using our taxpayer dollars woohoo

      “The day the music died” takes on a whole new meaning. Are we great again yet?

    43. GabeDef on

      Long time coming. The legacy acts suck up most of the money. Not much left for anyone else in today’s economy.

    44. HardcoreKaraoke on

      Obviously Trump’s bullshit economy is hurting the average person so it’s harder to afford tickets. But I think the real issue is how much tickets cost. It isn’t just for this big theater shows that are getting cancelled. A club show I would have paid $20 for ten years ago is $50 now after fees.

      I go to a lot of concerts so that’s where my free money goes. But is the average person willing to spend $50 to see one band they like with two openers they’ve never heard of? I don’t really think so.

      Festival prices are insane. Bigger venues and acts charge way too much. I’m sure the Pussycat Dolls asked for $300+ pit ticlets and they probably weren’t selling close to enough to make it worth it. Post Malone tickets were probably $300+ for nosebleeds, so of course people weren’t paying for that.

      You definitely have to take Trump’s economy into account but concerts in general are so expensive that they are hard to justify for most people. Especially if you’re a family going.
