From Classic Rock to Progessive to hip hop to today's hot new tunes!

Just Maybe.....

Had there not been so much music piracy going on, concert prices could very well have been quite a bit lower..... A lot of the extra costs I think has to do with recovering lost revenues due to music piracy. I won't discount the rationale being overblown (where the price increases outdo the losses from piracy), but this is a major point I see brought forth.

I still think the major part of the equation is pure supply and demand- If the demand is there, the prices will be high. Any band can schedule events at major venues and charge over $100 a ticket, but only the artists that command attendance at such premiums will reap the benefits. As they should.
