Peter Gabriel w/Tony Levin: Sledgehammer 2023

Front row, dead center at Madison Square Garden were just under $3k EACH when I was looking several days ago and I don't know if that includes all fees but there's still tax on top of that!!!
 
Concert prices are just too high for me. Even small club tours are $75 lately. I know artists have to eat, but it has become a rare luxury for me.
Sadly, it's a double whammy. Artists have to charge more because they don't sell records or cds anymore. Spotify has ruined artists' income.

But Ticketmaster is the bigger culprit. They're literally scalping their own tickets. Their new "Certified Platinum" ticket pricing can double, triple or even quadruple seats that are in high demand. It's a money grab monopoly & should be illegal.
