You cannot expect to pay the same price in 2004 that you did in 1994 for a concert. Inflation and overall price increases control that, an AMC movie ticket is around $9 today, 10 years ago it was probably $6, price increases will occur.
Absolute nonsense. I can't remember one other thing in daily life which has constantly gotten more expensive without a real reason over the last 25 years. I'm sitting in front of my old Police concert poster from 1979. It says 15.- DM - that's roughly US$9.00. 1000% price increase within 20 years? For what? If there's another reason than pure greed for the ticket prices today, one egg should be costing at least 5 bucks now. And no: Sting isn't (as is noboy else) worth more than maybe $40 for a concert. For 90 bucks I want to see at least dancing elephants on a carpet made of hamster fur. joerg.
