2010 was apparently a disasterous year for the concert industry, with many popular acts having to cancel and/or postpone tours due to poor sales. The poor sales have been attributed to the high cost of many concerts in what has been a difficult year for the economy. According to the report I’m stealing this news from, A Perfect Circle were selling tickets for as much as $200, which let’s face it, is down right ridiculous. If I wanted to have a good sleep, I could pick up some sleeping pills from the pharmacy for $10.
Because of the poor sales, promoters are claiming that they will be making concerts more affordable in 2011. So good news for all you fellow concert go-ers. That is unless you’re Lady Gaga or Justin Bieber fans, as those “artists” will still have their concerts sold at the same prices, because their fans are gullible enough to pay the extortionate costs.
