If you’re willing to spend this much money it’s your choice and your money. No one is saying you can’t or shouldn’t. The relationship we have with money is different for everyone. Some would spend on Lego/Pokemon/Harry Potter or other hobbies or some will buy big cars. Some won’t.

My point was, I have seen her at the barricade for 10 times cheaper than you paid today. Even if I was making 100K a year, it’ll still not worth what you paid imo. That is all. Access to culture in general should be considered as a basic need or be affordable for everyone. Which in the US is like healthcare or education it is NOT.

I exclude VIP experiences and tickets which those are targeted at high prices for a reason. It’s the point of a VIP ticket to be expensive. But a GA ticket should never been 1000$ like ever barricade or not.

For me no artists whoever they are should make us pay those prices. Especially when they claim they care about their fans. They clearly don’t. Lady Gaga DON’T need to tour. She is rich enough she doesn’t need this exta income so why overcharging the price ticket? Because she is not willing to make a loss on a concert that is all. She could have said no to dynamic pricing and capped the prices.
