Concerts nowadays are confusing. I know people keep pointing to millennials with disposable income but we had money 5-10 years ago. If anything we have less money now due to the housing crisis and inflation so that explanation only goes so far.
Seeing Blink, Sum41, Korn, Deftones, NIN etc sell out arenas when 5-10 years ago some of them were playing secondary venues for 1/4 the price just doesn't make any sense to me.
Maybe Millennials have kids old enough they can bring them? Maybe we're all having mid life crises and want to relive our youth when at 30 we all wanted to forget music from our teens?
I'm pretty sure Korn could barely sell out the big four building 5 years ago. Now they're selling out the dome with $400 floor seats. WTF?
EDIT: Ok that was 15 years ago that Korn played Big Four. Wow, time flies.
