The giant bands charging hundreds of dollars, years in advance of the concert, is adding to the struggle for smaller bands. It's not a new thing, but it's reached a breaking point for the concert system.
The last huge concert I attended was Black Sabbath because they're an all-time favourite and I wasn't alive to see them (with Ozzy as frontman) back in the day. I saw Metallica back before they became caricatures of themselves so I don't need to see them again. That works for me but others who buy tickets to their shows might not have the budget to see other bands. That sucks.
