    Ever think of why the shows are so expensive? It's because of piracy!

    Not saying it's right, but piracy has really nothing to do with the cost of concerts.


    No, the costs of concerts has everything to do with Piracy. This is the only way they make money these days. So why not give us our money's worth. From the big boys, Pearl Jam and Springsteen are the only ones (my opinion) who make the concert experience worthwhile. Widespread Panic does a good job also. Newer acts like Cage the Elephant, Gaslight Anthem, Against Me! and The Hold Steady do a great job for like $20 a show. Just saying.

    disagree. if it were true then concerts in australia wouldnt cost as much as they do. im about to pay twice as much to see ryan adams in sydney as i did to see him in seattle. the venues are comparative... the gig itself will be the same concept in both places. so why such a wide pice discrepancy??
    many things contribute to the price of tix.. the hire of the venue, the security, the hire of protective surfaces for grassed stadiums... not to mention the wages of everyone working at the gig on any given night. i think youll find merchandise contributes a shitload to the revenue from tours.

    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say
