10 Reasons Why I Don't Go To Concerts Anymore<p>1. The price is too high. I can think of a lot of better uses for $300 than a couple of mediocre seats for 2 hours.<p>2. The price is even higher. Just try to pay face price before the scalpers overwhelm the ticket sites.<p>3. They never start on time. (Why do they think I'll like them MORE if they start an hour late???) Yes, we mortals have schedules, too.<p>4. The venues suck. 2,000 people in a theater: good. 20,000 in a hockey arena: bad.<p>5. The refreshments are overpriced and difficult to get. You really want to stand in line 15 minutes for that $8 beer?<p>6. I can get the programs and t-shirt without going to the concert.<p>7. The traffic is horrible. (What else is new?)<p>8. The Police, Billy Joel, and Depeche Mode were great concerts. The first 8 times. How about something new? (See #8)<p>9. Since disc jockeys don't tell you anymore, I don't know the names of many of the new bands. (Yes, I have an FM radio next to my terminal. No, I don't belong to myspace.)<p>10. Being surrounded by drunks and druggies is cool if you're drunk or high. It's hell if you're not.
