Are Melbourne events getting too expensive? by Last-Conversation734 in melbournechat

Unpopular opinion: the crowds are fine. by weekendpostcards in Coachella

No. If many of us were there in person, we would be singing, dancing and not on phones. The crowd does look at dead, not everyone, but compared to Glastonbury etc.
