An Important want for sure, but not a necessity in any way shape or form. You won't die or get sick by not attending a concert or a guitar would be listed in survival guildes
I'd bet if you were a lego fan you'd say the same about legos.
Housing and concerts are orders of magnitude apart in "importantness". All of the items above are not needed to live. A home is needed.
People who buy Lego to sell in the future actually do call it investing by the way
Define a "home". A cave? A tent? A huge loft? What is really necessary to survive?
A place where you won't get sick, at a minimum
That’s a good classification to have.
The apartment I lived in until June this year was my or my friends home for 20 years, but I stayed sick after the new neighbors moved in and started destroying the place. I couldn’t have food anymore because of the rodents, roaches, bedbugs and diseased water that started running down the walls and leaking through the ceiling.
I'd add a place where you won't get attacked or threatened while sleeping, and maybe where you can store your stuff that also won't get stolen easily
You haven't paid enough attention to notice that the tropic of conversation is that scalping is bad and property scalping is worse, which you seem to agree with, so I don't know why you're arguing with people.
I agree that "just don't buy it" is not that easy for culture in general, it could be applied to hypermonetized events.
I'm not sure I get your second point. How is Ticketmaster enabled by people boycotting events that get scalped?
They aren't by that specifically, but they are by transferring the blame to scalpers and the victims of both scalpers and Ticketmaster..
Sustenance for the spirit.
Yeah. Not to mention that a lot of people's social identity, social activities and sense of community are all tied up in going to concerts together..
