They’re not cheap if you get them first hand but they’re not insane considering who we’re talking about. Bands like The Eagles, Rolling Stones,etc were commanding $150+ tickets two decades ago. But good luck getting a non-resale ticket, between bots and the companies themselves buying the tickets solely to mark up for resale it’s nearly impossible to get a ticket at face value.

Man, I remember paying $30 in the late 90s for a front row seat at a Megadeth concert in a smaller venue. Ozzy Osbourne and Rob zombie with slipknot cost me like $40
