All the millennials I know grew up going to random basement shows and now they've mostly all graduated to seeing bands at random dive bars. Those mega venues have always seemed like they primarily appealed to boomers, especially considering the kinds of bands that tend to play them. I love me some Bruce Springsteen but I'm not paying $200 to watch him relive his Glory Days.
I'm not paying 200 bucks to see anybody live, ticket prices today are completely absurd. Call me a boomer, but i was socialized in a time when i could see RATM or Radiohead play for 40 bucks and even that felt pricey back then.
Yup. My first concert was like 50 dollars and it was a crazy good lineup. Still, you can find tickets for around 20-50 dollars bur they can't be like super famous bands
It was worth it when it was a decade ago and a nosebleed ticket was 50$, but these days even a nosebleed ticket is 150, and Bruce isn't getting any younger.
Good luck paying 200$ for a major concert these days. I vaguely know some people who were talkinga bout paying something terrifying like.. I really want to say 1500 dollars but that has to be wrong because that's just too unhinged to be real, but that's what I want to say. I don't remember what act it was, but it was someone big.

Or small concert venues. Still overpriced drinks, but reasonable ticket prices with only General Admission.
$200 a ticket I better get a front row with a backstage pass and signed merch.
I would love to see AC/DC live, but not for what they charge these days.
