Why concert tickets are so expensive

Your favorite artist is on tour and you can’t wait to see them in concert. You open the website and see ticket prices of…$300, $700, $3,000?! What’s going on?

The activity of NGPF, Why going to concerts is harder than everdelves into why concert tickets are like this so expensive. Students will learn how the various players in the industry – from the artists to the venues and the ticket sellers – play a role in shaping ticket prices.

Students will:

  • watch a video from Business Insider’s So expensive series
  • identify the specific production factors that influence the price of a product or service
  • answer some thought-provoking questions

Note: This episode contains some short swear words and hand gestures at the 10:35 and 25:00 minutes.
