Blink 182 tickets are so expensive because Ticketmaster is a disastrous monopoly and now everyone pays ticket broker prices. This is because the company has a stranglehold on the concert industry, making it difficult for fans to get affordable tickets to see their favorite bands. In addition, record labels say that AI music generators threaten the music industry, which could lead to even higher ticket prices in the future. Finally, Facebook is threatening to block news content over Canada’s revenue sharing bill, which could make it harder for people to find out about upcoming concerts. All of these factors combine to make it very unlikely that you’ll be able to get an inexpensive ticket to a popular concert anytime soon.
