replyIf I pay high prices for your tickets and for travel to see you play in one of your limited selection of touring cities, sure, I might go. But if you tour again a few years later, I would rather see an artist I haven’t seen live yet.

If you pay ten times the price for a ticket and go one fifth as much, they win.
