Financial Field Editorial Department 2024.11.07 When I invited a friend to a concert of my favorite band, he refused, saying, “Isn’t 8,000 yen a ticket price too expensive?” What is the average price for a concert ticket? Nowadays, hobbies and ways of enjoying them are becoming more diverse, and many people enjoy listening to music. Everyone enjoys music in their own way, but if there is a band or other artist you like, there will be many people who go to their live shows. In this article, we will explain the average ticket price for live shows. According to a survey conducted by the Japan Concert Promoters Association, the average ticket price for a concert is 7,397 yen. In other words, the ticket price of 8,000 yen may be a little high when considered based on the average price. However, ticket prices are generally set at round numbers, so taking that into account, this could be considered average. Also, since this figure was 104.3% higher than the same period last year, this does not appear to be an unusual survey result. However, ticket prices for live shows vary greatly depending on the artist, the size of the venue, and other factors. Prices tend to be lower at venues with a small capacity, such as small live music houses, but if the event is held at an arena or dome, it is likely that the price will exceed the average. The popularity of the artist will also be a factor in determining ticket prices. If an event is popular, it can expect to attract an audience even if ticket prices are set high. The costs of attending a live event are as follows: ・Ticket cost ・Drink cost ・Merchandise cost ・Transportation cost ・Accommodation cost The above is just a general breakdown, but ticket cost and transportation cost are definitely expenses you will have to pay. If the venue is far from your home, you’ll have to travel to see it. This will not only increase your travel expenses, but also your accommodation costs. If the artist is popular, there will likely be a scramble for accommodation around the venue. There may be times when you are unable to reserve the accommodation you want, such as a budget hotel. In that case, you will need to stay in more expensive accommodation or travel far from the venue. Either way, you may end up spending more than you anticipated. The drink fee is paid upon entry to the live house. Therefore, it is generally not necessary in arenas, domes, etc. The availability and price of drinks should be listed on the ticket or official website, so be sure to check. (Omitted) ◆The average price of a live ticket is about 7,400 yen The average price of a live ticket is said to be around 7,400 yen. Compared to the average price, 8,000 yen may be high, but when you take into account the range of prices depending on the artist and venue, it can be said to be roughly average. However, the cost of attending a live concert is not just the ticket price. There will be some travel expenses involved, and if the event is held far away, accommodation costs may also be incurred. Understand your financial situation and enjoy your hobbies without straining yourself. *See the quote for the full text.
If it’s an indie band, anything over 6000 yen seems expensive, but if it’s a mid-level or higher band that plays arenas at a major label, 8000 yen seems cheap.
In the past few years, ticket prices for concerts, both domestic and international, have skyrocketed. I wonder if it’s because CD sales have ended. The weak yen has had an impact, but Western artists are charging outrageous prices.
Who cares about personal values like that lol? If it’s someone I don’t want to listen to, I don’t want to go even for 1000 yen, but if I’m a die-hard fan, I’d pay 100,000 yen.
It’s a price that doesn’t allow you to invite friends who aren’t interested. If you don’t have any real-life friends with the same hobby, is it okay to go alone?
Well, isn’t it a matter of whether the person you invite is interested or not? You wouldn’t go to a concert by an artist you’re not interested in, would you?
Last month, I went to Jersey’s Osaka concert and it cost 18,000 yen. It was a foreign artist and I went on holiday, so I think it cost about 70,000 yen including accommodation.
Which band is this live show? Whether they’re well-known or not makes all the difference. At least mention if they’re indie or major, Western or Japanese, and how popular they are. This is a bad article.
I mean, it’s not the customers who are writing the articles, but rather, they should just write “participation” as if it were normal. What are they fighting against?
Concerts have a certain rank. Any crappy musician is fine with paying around 1,000 yen. Only the big names can charge more than 10,000 yen. The next thing is capacity. It might be worth paying a little more if you can see it up close. Since they don’t have the ability to perform in a large venue, donations are inevitable.
I don’t want to pay 8,000 yen for a concert by a band I’m not interested in. I don’t mind paying 20,000 yen for a band I like, but I can’t pay 100,000 yen for a VIP seat.
It’s a little more expensive than a movie ticket, so 5000 yen is probably appropriate. I don’t want to pay 8000 yen for a concert by a band I don’t even like.
If your friend likes the band, he’ll probably be happy to shell out 8,000 yen, but if he doesn’t even know the band’s songs, it’s an amount he’d hesitate to spend.
