This Affects You: Weiner Resignation
Concert Tickets
Concert tickets, my god how much more expensive do these things have to get? At this point the average ticket for a concert is about $50 bucks. Holy shit $50 bucks! Think about that the next time you want to go see Nickleback live. When did the cost to put on a show become so much more expensive? A rock concert has been working on the same formula for decades now. They play really loud with some bright lights in the background. There hasn’t been much of a change. Are they saving lives up there while they’re doing this? I blame ticket master for this. They charge all those extra fees for bullshit. A handling fee? Really? For a piece of paper. It was a shame in the nineties when Pearl Jam tried to fight back and they got bitch slapped hard for it. And frankly every other band or artist out there were being a bunch of pussies for not standing up with them.
Because of the we're going to have to take those fees up the tail pipe until it just gets to be too much. In the mean time I can't go see a band I like unless I want to get a second mortgage.
