I bet there's a thread about this somewhere in the archives already, but this article brings the question up to date.

Why the hell are concert tickets so expensive? Because artists don't care about record sales anymore.

Why the hell are concert tickets so expensive?

because people are willing to pay those prices.

solution: don't see aging pop stars in concert; buy their cds used for a dollar each instead.

That's insane. Plus a £13 booking fee?

Luckily I remain an obscurantist snob, and get to do things like go and see four amazing bands for £4, as I did last night. In your FACE, everyone else (I will pretend not to be miffed that I couldn't afford to go see the War of the Worlds show).

me and my friend anna-marie are desperately trying to blag tickets for madge! so far our most brilliant idea has been to, er, create a gmail account under the name anna wintour. this may not work.
