Say a ticket to see Rag and Bone man?
I was looking at an event and it was outdoor and £160 per person which stopped me in my tracks, as much as I like his voice.
What would you be prepared to pay for a ticket? |

Personally, I would keep my curtains closed if he was playing a gig in my garden.
For other bands, that I actually like, I start to get uncomfortable as the price rises above £100 for a stadium show, or £50-£60 for an arena. |

I’d pay what the artist has set as the price, the lockdowns have battered musicians, playing live is where they make most of their money, streams on songs and albums make nothing, and then they’ve got to pay their management and everyone that makes the tour happen. Kinda fucked to be honest. |

Considering I paid £3 to see the jam at the Hammersmith Odeon £160 is outrageous.
However I am guilty of paying £350 for
my daughter and wife to see Micheal Bublé at the O2 arena. I went to the cinema with my son and watched minions 2 instead |

What’s a rag and bone man? Isn’t that something that existed years ago?
We paid £104 per ticket for Guns an’ Roses. Worth it in 2016 and worth it for next years gig too. Honestly, I don’t think gig prices are too high if they’re around that much. If you’re going to a stadium or whatever or seeing your favourite artists, that’s not something you do all the time. And a handful of takeaways will mount up to that kind of money in very little time and … that’s something you just never really sit and remember. A good gig? Memory for life. Worth £100 all day long. |

Can't stand the beardy tattooed twat with his fake millennial overemoting "soul" voice, so you'd have to pay me big time to stand and have my ears assaulted.
Don't put your blame on me. How about you do one instead, dickhead  |

A ticket for a gig is "worth" whatever you're prepared to pay to attend to see that particular artist.
Are you sure that's the face value price though OP? I just looked on Ticket Master for tickets to see Rag'n'Bone Man and for his upcoming tour prices are in the £40-£50 region - so may be you've ended up on a re-seller site where prices inevitably get inflated.
Either that or it's part of a bigger event such as a festival or all day thing with numerous artists performing which also attracts higher prices.
Might be worth a look around either way - can also recommend Twickets if it's a sold out gig and you're looking for re-sale tickets - it allows people to re-sell but only at face value plus an allowance for booking fees. |

I (Luke) consider myself very fortunate that in the days I was interested in pop music, they didn't charge large prices for tickets. I paid £18 for my first concert at Wembley and I paid £25 to see Genesis at Knebworth in 1992. Everything was in that price range for a long time.
The artists I would still see don't or can't charge prices like you are talking about. In my day artists made their money from album sales, and the tours supported the albums. Now there's not much money in albums so record companies are making their money from concerts by their artists.
I'm glad I got to see the acts I did. I wouldn't be able to afford such good experiences and happy memories now. |

Out of interest I just used an inflation tool to calculate the current value of £25 in 1992 - and it comes out to just over £45
Last stadium gig I bought tickets for (two years ago although the gig now isn't until next year) prices were £75 - so a hefty rise above inflation.
That said it's arguable you get more of a show these days and also that doesn't factor in cost of living/average salaries by comparison. It's also worth noting though that arena shows the average price of a ticket is around £50-£55 so closer to the inflation rate |

My top bracket would normally be around the £50 Mark. If I'm paying £100+ that'll only ever be for a festival, as you get a lot more for your money, more artists, better atmosphere and a more memorable experience. |

I saw him at an outdoor event (Splendour in Nottingham) in 2019 and as good as some of his songs are, he is really dull to see in concert so I wouldn't pay to go see him again at all.
I think the ticket price was about £25 at the time and there were other acts playing too who were less well known but more exciting to watch. |

Well let's not be wet behind our luggage
An escorts fees are on average £150 per hour
Rag and bone man's expensive at £160 per ticket for the night
Don't hate me it's simply an observation |

I paid £80 to see Rammstien at an indoor arena, also the same price to see Alice Cooper, that was pre covid.
It depends how much you can justify to spend on the concert.
I wouldn't pay that much for an outdoor event. |

Is that a festival or just a rag and bone man gig?
If it's just him that's shocking and I'd expect to see a few on Groupon as it gets closer.
I begrudgingly pay the 100 for classic legendary bands that were getting charged pre-pandemic.

I wouldn't pay £160 because it's not worth it *to me*. Seeing musicians live isn't top of my priorities list when it comes to spending on entertainment. We paid £80 each to see Beth Hart at a local venue five years ago so £160 isn't a massive hike.
If we're spending on entertainment it's more likely to be food or holidays |

I suspect the price quoted is a reseller site rather than "official" face value - per my earlier post when I checked this morning available tickets for his tour seemed to be in the £40-£50 bracket |

A bit off topic but worth saying that even big names make relatively little money from record sales now and mostly earn from live performances. This is reflected in the price inflation for live gigs compared to the past. |
