[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, if you can’t afford it, you can’t afford it. Your daughter will have to deal. If you want, you can lay out exactly how much it would cost so she can see the actual $$$.

I’ve spent money on concerts for my kid. The biggest one was a 4hr drive away where we did get a hotel because I didn’t want to drive home afterwards. It probably cost around $1500 all in for four of us plus pet boarding. It was a Christmas present. Also, it was at the same time Taylor Swift was doing her eras tour. I told my kids that we do not have Taylor’s swift money and they understood.  Some of their friends were spending thousands to see her, some even flying to Europe to do so.[/quote]

Flying to Europe was cheaper than seeing her in the States.  They have laws that limit the amount of resale profit that can be made and some venues had identification requirements  So 1) since there was less profit to be made, there were less bots buying the tickets and 2) since there was less profit to be made, the tickets were less expensive even on the secondary market.[/quote]
