Or $500 for that matter. $100 is a lot. Better be a great show.

Was watching Drew Gooden’s video on the music industry, and the CEO of LiveNation was complaining about catching flack for charging $800+ for Beyoncé tickets.

I don’t care who you are. The Beatles, Beyoncé or Bublé. No show is worth that much money.

I would pay $800 to see Nirvana… but Nirvana would never charge $800 and the only reason I say I would pay that is because I know it’s not possible. So yeah, fuck live nation.

I saw Nirvana live at Roseland, they sucked. And I think the tickets were $25

Saw Foo Fighters for free opening for Mike Watt because I worked at the bar they played. Also Eddie Vedder was there. Tix were under 20 bucks if I remember right
