No shit! Do you work for them. 

They were the only one of my favorite bands I didn’t see this year. I was out of town when they came.

No I don't work for them.  I'm just a big fan and their ticket prices are typically quite reasonable.

The zero shows trend continues for me into 2019. Last show I saw was Pearl Jam in St.Louis 2014. Raising babies is expensive! Haha!

Yeah, this is one of the reasons I don't have kids, lol.

But dude, omg, get your ass to a show. They aren't ALL expensive!

I have many gap years because of raising a kiddo.  She is now 15 and goes to some of the shows with me.  Sometimes as a family or couple, sometimes separately, sometimes with kiddo in tow with either me or my husband.  Often it isn't just the idea of just a show, but babysitting cost, ticket x 2 (because you'd like to share a show with your spouse), potentially a meal out, transport (occasionally), parking (usually), merch (not always), hydration (nearly always) . . . You have ticket fees that are occasionally half of the original ticket price . . . Shows aren't cheap and neither are kids.

Okay... I actually go to a lot of shows alone, take transit, never buy merch... these hurdles you speak of can largely be avoiding if you have the will, lol!
