    Now concert tickets for Metallica are running $400-500 mid tier each.

    😲

    And here I thought 80 EUR for GNR was too much.

        Neither is Metallica. That’s not how this works, isn’t it? People come because they know the band name, remember good old songs, and so on.

        GNR doesn’t have any concerts right now, so I can only use this data: https://www.rateyourseats.com/tickets/guns-n-roses

        The average ticket price for all shows was $365

        That’s still much more expensive than 80 EUR (which includes taxes).

          I suppose you have a point. ACDC just finished a tour and it was also sold out. I just didn’t think GNR were ever that big in the first place but I’m not the target market
