What do floor tickets to a major concert cost today? $300?

Your generation is mostly to blame you know.
Back in the good old days the midde-aged geezers with their real-job salaries were not competing for those same tickets. (At least not very commonly.)
If you go watch some up and coming act that only the kids will know about, it's still pretty cheap.
