Those of us "of a certain age," will remember when live performances were loss leaders, to drive record sales.

I am not old enough to have attended, but I am told that Woodstock (1) tickets were about $15.

and now record sales are loss leaders for live performances for many artists

[exhilaration]

That's actually pretty expensive! This site https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/ says $15 in 1969 is equivalent to $121 today.

That $15 would be about $121 in today's dollars, so I wouldn't be surprised if it were even less than that.
