BRTD, how much do concert tickets cost where you live?
The ones that I go to range $5-20. I think $17 or $18 is the most I've ever spent (not counting fests obviously.)
Keep in mind a lot of those are just local bands or smaller bands touring with a much bigger one. There are a few shows I've gone just for the openers though.
That's interesting. Every time I go on Ticketmaster and look for shows, they usually cost a minimum of fifty dollars per person without special seating arrangements or anything else added on. Though I'll admit I've never heard of most of the bands you listed, so I guess it's just because of name recognition.
