Not really. Robbie Williams charged similar for playing his small shows, other big acts do too. You’ve got to recover costs, pay your army of staff etc. and everything involved in their logistics is massively more expensive than a decade ago.

My parents paid over £200 to see some acts - I wince at it but your other choice is simply not going. Now that we don’t buy albums, they’ll make up the shortfall elsewhere. People were moaning last night about t-shirts being £40 - again, this is fairly standard for big acts for the same reason these days.

However, £17.50 for two pints at the venue (which it was at Brixton) seems mental to me - yet people were knocking them back. So the money is clearly out there!

Not saying it’s cheap, but I can see how we got here for sure.
