What Ticketmaster Doesn't Want You To Know: Concerts Were Cheap For Decades (youtu.be)

Ticketmaster and Live Nation have destroyed the concert experience. But it didn't use to be this way. Today, Oasis and Taylor Swift tickets might go for thousands of dollars, but back in 1955, you could see Elvis Presley in concert for less than the modern-day equivalent of $20.

You’re going to have to decide if it’s worth it, and soon. He puts in a great show and the music is excellent but he won’t be on tour forever. Billy Joel is the artist I’ve seen in concert most, maybe 4-5 times and I always love it. However I think the last time was like $120 and that’s just getting too much
