Or listen to genres where 99% of artists will never reach mainstream popularity and charge these kinds of prices. For example Lorna Shore is currently touring Europe with Rivers of Nihil, Ingested and Distant. Most shows have been sold out for months, in nice venues, and yet I got tickets for the Paris show for 35€.
That’s partly it as well! It’s fun to explore artists and genres who aren’t super mainstream.
Although sometimes it’s just artists who aren’t likely to be that well known. I saw Asgeir in Bristol for less than £50 - he’s pretty mainstream I’d say (>700k monthly listens on Spotify) - he just happens to be Icelandic and performing in his mother tongue at least half the time.
