Now they’re shocked she can’t fill a stadium.
I don't get why entire industries and celebrities are shocked that people aren't shelling out cash anymore. People. Are. Broke.
Nobody wants to go to concerts, get expensive diamond engagement rings, have children, or even get fast food. These used to be affordable, but the cost of existence alone is overwhelming.
It's simple physics, if a parasite never drops off and keeps draining the hosts blood faster than the host can regenerate it, eventually it will weaken, die, then wither to dust, taking the parasite with it. Dust husks don't go to concerts. People can talk about ticket master etc all they want but THAT is the main cause. Nobody gets paid enough. People pay at least half their income on rent alone. ffs.
With the rising cost of living, many are questioning the viability of attending concerts and other entertainment events. Major factors include high rents, stagnant wages, and overwhelming student debt, leaving fans feeling financially constrained. Economists are pointing out that consumer spending is shifting as people prioritize essentials over luxury experiences. Moreover, the increasing expense of popular events leads to fears that these occasions may become elitist, excluding a significant portion of the fanbase. Industry insiders are raising concerns that unless wages rise or ticket prices become more affordable, we might witness a cultural shift away from live performances, which have long been a cornerstone of artistic expression. As fans reflect on their financial priorities, the entertainment industry must adapt to meet a new era of consumer expectations.
I dislike when someone posts disingenuous information to an audience that doesn’t do further research. I’ve bought Beyoncé tickets for $120 and for $400, and most of the cost was processing fees associated with the venue. You can find something within your budget if you choose to attend.
