As we move forward into 2024, let’s take a brief look back at what were the most expensive concert tickets of 2023.
The list comes courtesy of Gametime. They bill themselves as “the leading app/site for last minute tickets.” At the end of the year, Gametime shared their Top 10 Concert Tours and Performers in the U.S. for 2023, based on median ticket price. That last bit is the important part, as it’s going to put an artist in the Number One spot that you’re not expecting to be in the Number One spot.
All told, these most expensive concert tickets are bananas. I actually wrote about that last year: Concert Ticket Prices Are Insane, and It Will Likely Stay That Way. There are a number of reasons why, including dynamic pricing, high demand for live music post-pandemic, and big artists not stepping up and using their influence to stem the recent rise in concert ticket prices.

The Top 10 Most Expensive Concert Tickets of 2023
Before we move on, let’s revisit what we can do. Like taking full advantage of freebees. Here at ROCK 92.9, we’re doing everything we can to get as many free concert tickets as possible to give away to you. You want to see shows, we know the tickets are too damn expensive. So take advantage of us. Enter to win tickets–all the tickets you possibly can–every chance you get.
And support local acts and venues. Yes, I know it’s not the same as seeing your favorite superstar act at a big venue. But after you see some of the most expensive concert tickets from Gametime’s Top 10 below, I’d like to think you’ll welcome hitting your local small venue and checking out a local act or two. It’s never too late to redefine your relationship with live music.
