An other example of inflation, I hear that tickets to Bruce Springsteen concerts are selling for USD 5000.

That's the face value of tickets directly from the official seller. Not scalpers or private resales but the original face value.

This is a ticket to attend the concert in the normal manner. It's not a meet and greet with the artist, it doesn't get you in the tour bus or backstage or anything like that. It's a ticket to the show.

Now I'll admit I'm not a big fan of Springsteen but my point isn't about taste in music or whether he's still any good live or not but simply that this is getting truly ridiculous. What ordinary person can afford that sort of money to go to a concert?

Whatever happened to bands just doing a second show the next night if there was enough demand?
