@tippydi -Perhaps it is, depending on one’s age and finances. I know many 20-somethings, and parents with teen/pre-teen children who love seeing the big stars, and sharing the experience. I enjoy their stories.
At one point I went to many large-venue shows. Last stadium show I went to was Bruce Springsteen, in 2016. Between tickets, parking and concessions I forked over $700+. It was worth it.
And waaaaay back in the last quarter of the 20th century, I enjoyed the music, the scene and the, ahem-concessions (cough, cough). Now, not so much. It’s likely because I’m over 65, and the thought of being surrounded by 70,000 people gives me the willies.
Clubs and small venue shows are a different story. I’ve enjoyed a number of performances at local music venues and jazz clubs in NYC.
Do you go to bigger venue shows?
