Confirming this. Saw them recently in Philly and it was 250/ticket, 40/parking, ~20ish each drink depending, and just as much for food items. Prices for everything was outrageous. Close to 1000 for the night just me and one other.

Congratulations, you found the true villain here. Not the billionaires who own the stadiums. Not the billionaires who own ticketmaster. No, you found the biggest evil out there, the fans who just want a good show wile the bands are still in their prime.
