I personally haven't gone to concerts anymore because of ticketmaster & ticket costs, no thanks, I'm good.
Everyone should do this, let the whale die, small venues and direct to customer sales only
I lol at ticket prices now
bars/clubs that take cash at the door still exist
Dont know about where you're from but when someone says concert they usually mean large production in an arena or other large seating capacity venue. Not something that is held at bars. I'd call something I go to at a bar a "show".
A concert is a "live music performance in front of an audience". It's a type of show. A dude with a guitar playing songs in a bar is a concert. Lots of professional artists play in smaller venues like bars in a dedicated room, and that's the best kind of concerts IMO.
Really depends on the genre of music you are into. If you enjoy some obscure shit then somesitmes bar concert is as big as it gets. But you are of course correct for all popular music genres.
Agree. My GF and I go to plenty of "shows".
The handful of bigger venues we attend sell tickets directly. Like Tanglewood or Boston Symphony Hall.
yeah true
