Metallica, Vegas, and the $10,000 Birthday Party That Didn't Happen

View descriptionShare

Las Vegas Sphere concert pricing comes with a number you haven't done yet. You have a budget in your head for what a concert is worth. The Sphere changes that number. $900 Canadian is the opening bid before flights, hotels, and everything else that is also real and also needs paying for. At some point, loving a band and actually being able to go see them are two different problems.

You've stood in the crowd for a band you've listened to for twenty years, and it was somehow less than you expected. The lights were there. The big screens were there. The whole spectacle was there. But spectacle and connection are different things, and one of them doesn't cost $10,000.

Next time your favourite band announces a residency: is it still a concert, or has it become something else? That question doesn't have a clean answer. But it's worth asking before you open the pre-sale page.
