Why are concert ticket prices so high?
Friday, December 11th, 2009David Boitano the founder of TICKETFINDER.com who sells concert, sports and theatre tickets for more than 20 years says the most asked question we get is: “Why are concert ticket prices so high?. “
The answer is a little complicated but the main reason is simple. Ever since the public started taking free music downloads on line the artist and their partners’ income has dropped substantially so they try and make it up by charging more for their live concert tickets.
Most contracts that artists have with their record company don’t pay them a lot of money. Example is a new artist desperate to get their music out might sign a long term contract that pays them $.50 - $1.00 per CD sold and just pennies for downloads like iTunes. An established artist like the Rolling Stones might be getting $2.00 to $3.00 dollar per CD sold but that does not add up to the millions they get when they tour. And the artist money is only paid out after all the costs for recording or any advances have been covered. Sure there are a few artists who have sold millions of records and CD’s over their 40 years but they are far and few between and even they get ripped off from time to time as was the case with both Elton John and Billy Joel who after many years found that their management was not being honest with them.
Today you will find many artist like Jimmy Buffett, The Eagles and Prince setting up their own record company and distributing their recordings though contracts with Best Buy, Wal-Mart or the like which they have discovered pays them more in the $5.00 - $6.00 per CD sold. Recently Jimmy Buffett made a statement in an interview in Rolling Stone “So that how much we were being ripped off by the record companies before”
In recent years performers have found that touring is the one way to make real money so if they have a hit recording or a good fan base they tour and charge what the market will pay. In some cases the ticket price can run from $125 per ticket up to as high as $2,000 per seat and they don’t have to share that money with anyone except their touring costs which can be substantial. Most of the bigger artists get a guarantee from a promoter who may secure a huge sponsor to cover most or all of the fixed costs. The promoter then tries to make a profit on merchandise and concession sales which can equal or surpass the average ticket price per person.
So if you’re concerned about high ticket prices stop getting free downloads and pay the recording artist what they are do and also stop going to the shows. Only then will the law of supply and demand take over and prices will come down.

Garth sets first dates for his Las Vegas concerts.
Friday, October 16th, 2009Steve Wynn and Garth Brooks had set the dates for the first weekend of shows which are set for Dec. 11-13 2009, followed by gigs Jan. 1-3, Jan. 22-24, Feb. 12-14 and Feb. 26-28, 2010.
Tickets for the first five weekends go on sale Oct. 24, 2009 at 8 a.m. PST. Brooks noted that new dates would be announced four times a year. The Grammy award-winning singer will perform four shows a weekend – one show Friday night, two on Saturday and one on Sunday – playing fifteen weekends a year. [Tickets and Schedules] on sale Oct 24, 2009 at 8am PST. On line only.
All tickets will be general admission and have a face value of $125 each plus box office service fees and taxes. This marks the highest ticket price of Brooks’ career. He traditionally priced his tickets as low as $25 each. Secondary ticket prices are not set yet but with such a limited supply and high demand prices are expected to be high in the open market. Check often to see.
Steve Wynn, owner of Wynn’s Las Vegas, explained that he and Brooks compromised on the ticket price, which he wanted to set at $140 each. Wynn also thought there should be tiered tickets but Brooks held out for one price, reserved seating. The casino developer pointed out that although $125 may seem steep for one of Brooks’ concerts, it’s a very reasonable price for a top Vegas show.
“There isn’t a seat in this place that wouldn’t be considered ringside,” Wynn added.
