Kpop concert pricing is getting ridiculous
So I've been getting advertisements lately for Day6 visiting my country (Australia) on tour. I'm not a fan of them but out of curiosity I decided to check their ticket prices. I've been itching to go to another concert and if the prices were good I'd give them a go.
The cheapest tickets are $183 and go up to $300. This is for a venue with 5,500 capacity (The Horden Pavillion) which is also, in my opinion, a terrible venue (it had consistent technical problems when I was there last).
This is INSANE. The last kpop concert I went to, which was in an arena, was almost the same price at $189. I saw Babymetal in 2023, in the same venue that Day6 is going to- tickets were $100. Most people who go to The Horden charge general admission; Day6's company is not, which makes me feel a bit strange as this allows them to charge different prices for seating.
While I know concerts in general have been getting more expensive, charging this much for a small venue is frankly ridiculous.
