Tickets from €69.50 including booking fees - SMASHING PUMPKINS in dublin this summer.
i am saying it because there are ppl talking about costs etc. it is a pure greed, nothing else.
Sure is. ACDC went on sale this morning. €180 for gold circle at the start of the sale and now its €440 for the same ticket and that is not even a bullshit platinum ticket.

Just looking there. Prices are insane! Seated tickets in the lower stand in line with the back of the GC are €410. There's no way they are going to sell out tickets at that price.
Where is the line? Is Pearl Jam supposed to charge what Smashing Pumpkins charges? Well, you can probably find a band that charges less than Smashing Pumpkins. And when Pearl Jam tickets sell out for $70 a pop, and people scalp them for $300, is that a great result? The scalpers get all the money?
It's 2024. Things cost more. PJ's "big" travel year is 30 shows. They want to make money, and they have people lining up to pay $180 to see them. Just gotta deal with it. Every industry out there. Better products, better service, whatever usually means more expensive as more demand. They've earned it.
A lot of people pissed about paying $180 are probably spending $800 on airfare and $800 on 3 nights hotels. All to see Pearl Jam, but the main reason for going (Pearl Jam), which is the lowest cost of the trip, is what people get pissed off about.

So fight the scalpers, in various ways. Instead of giving in and becoming one. Like roleplaying this GIF is some natural order that should be praised:
But your last point, is true and funny in that context

I have noticed this, and also going to multiple shows in multiple countries.

London went from £145 to £305 last time I looked.
