How much were the tickets for Bowie?
Can't recall, but they were expensive. 60+, I think. Too much.
I find that lots of younger people do want to go see certain artists -
people who are legends and cornerstones of music history - but these
artists price themselves right out of the younger generation's pocket book
I doubt it - often the parents are buying. Check the prices for the crap
that's hot on the radio these days and it's usually higher than that.
When McCartney swung through town, I knew one guy who took his whole
family - at about $130 a pop. And those weren't scalped prices, either.
why go see Bowie for $60+ when you can catch a band for $5-15?
Because a large majority of concert-goers (i.e., the ones who will go
see what's hot on MTV/Clear Channel affiliates, etc.) aren't interested
in a good deal
of the bands who charge $5-15 per ticket. And if Ticktemaster handles
the seats, what started at $20 ends up being close to $30.
Even the good indie shows are usually at least 20 (before surcharges, etc.)
