The world we live in isn't just dystopic, it isn't just stupid, trying to describe all the ways it sucks just makes for a really boring story.

I have a ticket stub in my basement from when I saw Nine Inch Nails and A Perfect Circle for $40, so I definitely remember. I went to a ton of concert when I was younger making a fraction of what I make now.
That concert was in 2000, so in today's money that $40 would be around $72.
In 2022 I saw NIN in Cleveland and got GA tickets for $48 each (including fees).
I mean, there's a drastic difference in cultural relevance over those 20 years. 2000 was at the tail end of their peak. Supply/demand would certainly affect the equation.
