Actually, no...the percentage of income it takes to go to a concert nowadays is probably 5x's what it was just 15 years ago.
I remember buying tickets to the 1987 FMac tour for $20 each, sat in what would now be $90-120 seats. Considering the "service charges" at Ticketmaster nowadays is more than some TICKET prices at concerts I went to in the late '70's, it's well beyond "inflation"...it's greed.
