Yep. I used to go see Jimmy Buffett every summer with my college friends. Not a big Jimmy Buffett fan, but it was a chance to get together and drink beer. First time I went in 1997 a ticket was $15. Last time I went in 2003 a ticket was $75--and that was if I could actually get one as the scalpers would buy out the whole concert in 3-4 minutes. Either way, it became too much cost and hassle to go see a guy I was only mildly interested in seeing.
