Go to shows at small venues, smaller shows have smaller prices. I've seen some great shows from headliner artists for under $50. Cheapest I ever saw was a few years ago, $9 to see Slipknot from 10-50ft away. And by a few years I mean 2 or 3, not 10 or 20. Sign up for newsletters from local venues and your favorite artists, check websites for schedules, you'd be surprised what pops up.
Also never had someone poop on the ground at one of those.
One of the last places I enjoyed here in San Diego is closing. Small, bar has a good a view of the stage, big names showed semi-regularly, and tickets were still always about 30 bucks.
Last big show I saw was Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan. Shouldn't have gone, seeing those guys so meek and unintelligible was just sad. There may have been stage shits during that tour but no crowd poops.
Some comment in here suggested certain artists might attract certain shitty fans.
