Let’s be honest. The real price isn’t money. It’s your time. You’ll spend hours online. Refreshing. Crying. Calling your mom for tech support.
It’s the emotional tax. The “I almost got one but it disappeared” trauma. That stays with you. Like a bad trip to the dentist.
And when you finally get one? You’ll tell your grandkids about it. “I paid $300 to hear Idioteque live. Best decision of my life. My car? Oh, I don’t drive anymore.”

That’s the Radiohead effect. A free ticket becomes a $5,000 relic. Capitalism and art in a weird, sad dance.
