    It’s not a boycott. Boycotts don’t work because they appeal to and are based in emotion. I’m appealing to your wallet. If you can’t afford concert tickets, don’t buy them. Don’t go without something you need to make it work, don’t use credit. Just don’t buy, like you don’t buy a new car every few years or how you don’t buy a gold-plated snickerdoodle or whatever.

    Otherwise, the company is right and people will pay a lot more for the product, so they’d think themselves crazy not to raise the price.

      People who can’t afford it are already not going. That’s why their CEOs are comparing concerts to luxury handbags.

      You’re still appealing to emotion of those who can afford it.

        Then the company is right and those tickets are worth the extra money they’re charging 🤷‍♀️ What’s your point here?
