For major tours like Taylor Swift's "Eras" Tour, some U.S. concertgoers reported spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars on tickets. Large-scale tours have become massive productions, with rising costs for staffing, tech and gear. Even smaller local venues have raised ticket prices in recent years.

Have you made adjustments in other parts of your budget to afford tickets? What would make concerts worth it again?
