How much would you pay to see a Taylor Swift or Beyonce concert? voice-verified

Live shows for big acts have always been pricey, but now some Swifties and the Beehive are paying upwards of $1,000 for one ticket on the resale market. voice-verified

And they're not the only stars whose fans have to shell out a lot more money to see. voice-verified

Coming up, Rachel Wolf from the WSJ Life and Work team joins us to talk about why concert tickets are so expensive now and how some fans are stretching their budgets to afford them. voice-verified

The summer concert season is just around the corner. voice-verified

And if you're looking to see an A-list music act like Taylor Swift, Beyonce, or Bruce Springsteen, get your wallet ready. voice-verified

In the last few years, the face value for concert tickets has risen over $100 on average. voice-verified

And on the resale market, those same seats can go for anywhere from $250 to over $1,000, depending on the artist. voice-verified

Rachel Wolf from the WSJ Life and Work team joins us to explain how concert tickets became such a splurge. voice-verified

Rachel, why are they so expensive now? voice-verified

So if you're a big Swifty or part of the Beehive or the BTS Army and you aren't usually able to just toss off hundreds of dollars for a ticket, what do you do? voice-verified

Inflation has meant that consumers' dollars don't go as far as they used to. voice-verified

Why are people still willing to spend so much money on a single show? voice-verified

Yeah, it's kind of that split brain decision making kind of thing, right? voice-verified

So how are some fans changing their lives and spending habits in order to afford some of these tickets? voice-verified
