    $659 for a one night gig…

    You can get a week pass to a festival for cheaper…

    A fool and his money are easily parted

      I guarantee that there is entertainment that you spend money on that other people find foolish.

          Sure, but chances are, relative to much of the world, you are actually pretty wealthy and most people would scoff at you spending even 1/10th of that on a single event. Remember, there is much of the world where the median yearly income is under 1k a year.

      I think the “full” here is the one who can’t fathom that others value things differently from themself.

      Also, her money*. It’s in the summary

      The average ticket price for her tour 2023 was 1088$

      Whoever pays prices like this is completely lost

      I got drawn in the lottery to be able to buy tickets for athletic events at the Olympics in Paris. For the events I liked to see, I had the choice of a 860 and 980 euro ticket… so with the two of us, that would be as much as a week long holiday to the Canaries. So we passed. We’re gonna watch the marathon, which is free :-)
