According to Rolling Stones Magazine, the average price of concert tickets has gone up from $47 in 2002 to $57 in 2005, ticketmaster fees have gone up 6%, and attendance has dropped 6%.
Well I wonder why its dropped 6%? Maybe because we don't want to pay for high priced tickets. I mean just last week I was looking at tickets for the Justin Timberlake show, and they were outrageous. Retail for a good seat was $60, but of course they were gone, and on e-bay it was more like $100. I mean he makes great musical and all, but I'm not spending half a pay check on 1 concert. There will always be those die hard fans who are willing to pay, but if they want to keep packing shows at big venues, they've gotta re-think these prices.
