“Who can afford to go to multiple shows?” says the anonymous tour manager. “Two tickets to a show, you’re talking probably about $200 with fees and everything. You go to a meal around the show, you’re talking at least $100 or $200 for a nice dinner. Then you got parking and babysitters, then you add the VIP stuff to that and you want to make it a special night, you’re talking $500 to $1,000 a night for a couple to go out. It’s capitalism at its best.”

    Just for shits, I recently looked up tickets to Jane’s Addicition in CT. $90 for the shittiest seat in the house. Center nosebleeds were $130. That was before fees.

    Absolute madness.
