Are Concert Prices Out of Control?

[Nomad]

Major tours from Taylor Swift and Beyoncé have seen skyrocketing ticket prices, making live music inaccessible for many fans. Are ticket prices a necessary evil, or is the industry taking advantage of demand? What is the most you would pay for a concert?

Yes, Concert tickets are getting out of control coz of how fans are willing to spend money and they indeed trying to sell high as much as they can

All live events have gotten crazy. Most of us have to look at after market prices which are jacked up.

The prices that concert promoters charge truly exceed reasonable level. Supporters of musical artists face difficulty affording to watch their preferred performers in concert due to the outrageous ticket prices.

Yes concert prices are so out of control, now let's not even talk about the major concerts, even the local ones around, the price for a ticket is just something else.

Yes. A few weeks ago I had to cancel going to concert because the ticket prive was my one week income

I've found that it's not always the pricing that's out of control...it's that these bots scoop up the tickets, mark up the prices, and then resell them.
