I could pay $1200 for concert tickets or $0 for D&D
Concerts costing that much are never worth it. I spend ~400$ for 2 nosebleed SZA tickets for my wife 2 years ago. We were watching the jumbotron the whole time.
My birthday shows this year are 30 and 50 a ticket and we can actually be see the musicians. I know I'm being a dumb hipster, but its so hard to justify ticket prices for large artists. What's the point of going to a football stadium to listen to live music. You could get a decent home sound system for the same price
We have a local place a couple cities over (013 in Tilburg) tickets usually are like €32 and large beer is €6 (i usually do well on 2) so that makes it €44 for a live performance from a band i actually enjoy (some pretty big names show up here).
Now of only i could still function for the two remaining workdays after a concert there, i would still go there.
But i'm probably getting old because it completely cripples me until after the weekend. Which is too high of a price as it puts my job at risk.
The cheap tickets could be better than close seats anyway. It's easier to hide a joint when you're sitting amongst a chaotic sea of blankets in the lawn section. Oh yeah, and you get to lie down on a blanket.
I can't imagine close seats could match the experience of either dancing freely without seats getting in the way, or lying back on a soft blanket, stoned with your friends, as one of your favorite artists performs live music nearby. Why would I spend more money to throw those perks away?
Shoutout to 2014.5e.tools (or just 5e.tools if you want the gross new shit)
Watch it, we’re people too
What about the Funyuns and Mt.Dew?
DM and demand tribute
$1200! I could buy like 2 snowboards for that(1 split board), or another bike. Are concerts like a status symbol now?
Nah, ticket sales & venues are largely a monopoly in the US and we're seeing the impact of that on our live event costs.
i think dnd is the one game I've spent more money on than warframe.
