why do people complain so much about concert ticket prices?

Question

I mean seriously most concerts I go to see here in Atlanta are usually 25 bucks or less at local clubs:

For example last 2 yrs:

Mushroom Head
Walls of Jericho x2
Kittie x 2
Marilyn Manson
Otep
Stone Sour x 2

Answer 1

Under $25 isn't bad at all. I think when most people complain it is about groups like the Stones that charge over $200 for a nose-bleed seat.

Answer 2

I honestly think that concert prices have inflated more than almost any other product (other than gas) over the last ten years or so. I paid $30 to see Pink Floyd in '94...I paid $28 to see Interpol last year...W.T.F. I blame the Eagles. Once people were willing to pay $100 a seat to see them, all of the other prices went up too. When in doubt always blame the Eagles.
