A man in Massachusetts just dropped $21,000 on tickets to a Taylor Swift concert. Around here, that’s a nice used car, 10 percent of a mortgage on a decent house, or 6,000 gallons of gas.
I don’t understand why people are paying so much. The venues have gotten so big that the audio is terrible and half the audience can’t see what’s going on at the stage. Any paying hundreds of dollars to sit somewhere you have to watch a big screen doesn’t count in my book. Just video tape the concert and play it in a theater. I’d feel like I was closer to the action then and proudly pay up $15. The seats would be more comfortable too.
This guy originally dropped $1,800 on tickets for his daughter back in November through a secondary market company. Let’s just call them what they are, scalping stores. Anyway, he never got the tickets. So he went through another scalping store and paid $21,000 to get tickets for his daughter and friends. Who needs college anyway?
