Ironically it’s the thing that will destroy many sports. People worldwide watch the premier league for the atmosphere. That comes from working class people singing and following their team. There’s a reason Newcastle fans out-sing the home crowd at Old Trafford every year, even when we’re losing.

Same thing applies to live music.

If I pay high prices for your tickets and for travel to see you play in one of your limited selection of touring cities, sure, I might go. But if you tour again a few years later, I would rather see an artist I haven’t seen live yet.

Meanwhile if the tickets are affordable, I’ll try and go again. You’ll have my renewed interest every time.

If you pay ten times the price for a ticket and go one fifth as much, they win.
