To me, the price of tickets, plus the perception of snootiness are at

That would be something I could agree with if it weren't that the same
folks who won't attend the symphony because of ticket prices will pay 3
or 4 times that amount per ticket to see pop music stars.
Or to go to a football game (if you add in the cost of parking and the
vastly overpriced souvenirs and refreshments).
Mileage varies, neh? I never go to pro ball games, both because I just
don't care about those overpaid twits, and because college games are
more interesting, less pridecitable, less expensive and more fun. I
rarely go to pop concerts either, because of screaming lunatics (both
on- and off-stage), high prices, and generally not great music. Same
goes for 'big ticket' musicals. I do occasionally when someone else
pays, but paying a month's groceris in cost for 2-3 hours of music is
just not worth it.
But I'll go to a small venue to hear a good band, and enjoy it more.
