The demographics we target are struggling to justify the hundreds, if not thousands of dollars we charge for tickets and we can’t figure out why

    Over my adult life I’ve watched tickets for major acts go from under a hundred to over a thousand dollars. I used to have friends who would go to concerts every other week and see whoever was in town, but now the only people you can see at a reasonable price are local indie bands, and frankly that scene just doesn’t appeal to most people. The music industry is like a sheep farmer who decided to kill and skin his sheep for leather and is now surprised that the wool isn’t growing back.
