When Less Is More

Ticket pricing for gigs is cultural weather

I long for less huge venues with big priced gigs and for more lower priced gigs in small venues.

Ticket pricing for gigs is cultural weather. Promoters speak of audience development, value perception, income resilience. Fans speak of affordability and access. Between them lies arithmetic where the sums rarely add up.

For me it feels like buying a ticket is placing a bet. The buyer bets the night will be worth the dent in the wallet. The seller bets enough buyers will swallow the dent.

we are paying more
and getting less

Yes, a change has got to come!
