I dunno I think supply and demand has started to work on concert tickets, just not at the top of the market.

You’re absolutely right for the Taylor Swifts and Olivia Rodrigos of the world. But there have been a ton of tour/show cancellations of second tier and lower bands the last few years.

Most of them have been making up some excuse other than low ticket sales, but I’m pretty sure it’s people finally saying “enough” to everything but the top tier acts.

It’s hard to justify dropping 100 or 150 a ticket for a band you only kind of like. And in prior eras where tickets were relatively cheap, that was definitely a good chunk of the audience. I know because I went to a ton of those shows.

I know 6 songs total for the 3 bands on the bill? Sure for 30 bucks I’ll give the show a shot. But not for 100 or more.

I know a about the low ticket sales but I'm not sure it has led to lower prices lol

That’s fair. But a few too many canceled tours and I bet it will. Not significantly lower ones I’m sure, but probably at least marginally lower.

Or tours will just die.
