Look at how high prices get.
Will people still have the money to go to other concerts?

has proven all of this wrong.
There's always this idea that it's a winner-take-all business.
You're going to go to a big festival, the rest of your concert money gets taken away.
You're going to travel to see Harry Styles, you're not going to see other shows.
That money ought to be, logically, that money ought to be not spent on other concerts.
And this is at a time when the economy is very, very good for some people and pretty lousy for most people.
So that might be another reason why people are so interested in playing New York and L.A., because you get more people with disposable income.
Other people can fly there.
But at some point, I don't know what the limit is.

Who's most like Beyonce who's not Beyonce?
