This is off topic but The Who just performed two shows in Toronto. The 100 level seats were $610 Canadian (approx $440 USD or 375 Euros). To be clear, those weren't "platinum" tickets - just basic seats! They were lowered to a mere $535 a few days before the show. They had thousands of unsold tickets both nights. (I bought a cheap lawn ticket while I waited in line, and after entry, got upgraded to the 200 level - in theory quadrupling my investment in 10 minutes).
The prices of some of those concerts is absolutely outrageous. It is not the first time in recent times that The Who have been in that situation of playing to half-empty venues as a result.
