> only rich people can experience these events, isn’t it?

This is how it already is. There is a ton of stuff that only rich people can afford to experience. Luxuries cost money. Seeing the Rolling Stones live in concert is a luxury.

> what is so special about these events anyway?

I'm with you here. I'd take watching a big concert or sporting event from home over live in person any day. I honestly think the majority of people that attend these big events mainly do it so they can tell people they did. Same reason people go to Times Square on NYE.
