“Who can afford to go to multiple shows?” says the anonymous tour manager. “Two tickets to a show, you’re talking probably about $200 with fees and everything. You go to a meal around the show, you’re talking at least $100 or $200 for a nice dinner. Then you got parking and babysitters, then you add the VIP stuff to that and you want to make it a special night, you’re talking $500 to $1,000 a night for a couple to go out. It’s capitalism at its best.”

Sleep Token toured the US earlier this year, and came near where I live. The cheapest ticket prices were $700. That's approaching Taylor Swift prices for a popular, but still niche, metal band.

I would pay $700 to see Mayhem play a live De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas with a resurrected Per "Dead" Ohlin (and no Varg Vikernes, because fuck that guy), but I'm not paying $700 to see Sleep Token.
