How often do you go to concerts? Do you go to local shows? Do you buy merch?

    A few a year - currently festivals as my eldest has heavily got I to 'our music’s - so I’ve had to take time off work to take her to slipkot, korn, baby metal, electric callboy, etc.

    Parenting is so hard.

    Depends which acts are on tour in… Yep, Australia. So last 12 months I went to 6. Work into the mix many of the venues are on the other side of town to me (so week nights are usually off the table unless I must see; Mastodon) and that tix are often very expensive - especially for big names.

    I go to probably 4-5 a year. The shows are getting more and more local as I can’t afford the gas + parking + $200 ticket for seeing a “big name” play.

    If I really like the band or want to support a small band I’ll buy a CD or a t-shirt.

    Much less frequently than I did only a few years ago, about 4 a year probably versus around 10 times that pre-COVID. Call it getting older and moving on the other side of town from my regular venues.

    Local shows only, I don’t even consider anything LiveNation to be a “concert,” just a grifting scheme.
