      Neither is Metallica. That’s not how this works, isn’t it? People come because they know the band name, remember good old songs, and so on.

      GNR doesn’t have any concerts right now, so I can only use this data: https://www.rateyourseats.com/tickets/guns-n-roses

      The average ticket price for all shows was $365

      That’s still much more expensive than 80 EUR (which includes taxes).

        I suppose you have a point. ACDC just finished a tour and it was also sold out. I just didn’t think GNR were ever that big in the first place but I’m not the target market
