In 2013 classic rock bands such as The Rolling Stones, The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac, and Paul McCartney commanded ticket prices ranging from $624 to $241. The minimum wage is $7.25.
In 1973, when the minimum wage was $1.60 I went to the
Summer Jam at Watkins Glen featuring The Band, The Allman Brothers and The Grateful Dead. Tickets cost $10 for all three. They were established rock stars by then. Many of those performers passed away so there can’t be a “final tour”. But if there could be a “final tour” I wonder what a ticket would cost today?
$1,200? Weren’t we lucky?
What classic rock bands did you see? And how much did the ticket cost?
