This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Man I miss when concerts and events weren't just for rich kids and people with disposable incomes. I remember going to see Metallica, $40 mid tier tickets. I saw AC DC for about the same. Rob zombie with Ozzy Osbourne. I even saw a WrestleMania for like $80 and that was a lot then for great seats.
Now concert tickets for Metallica are running $400-500 mid tier each. Even smaller bands and events are more than what a premium event used to cost. The development League hockey games cost more than the NHL games used to. Working class people have been priced out.

And here I thought 80 EUR for GNR was too much.
Let's be real, GNR aren't really in their prime....
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
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
