In 2019 I got to see Weird Al for $20. (Got the tickets in an annual $20 flash sale for a bunch of shows every spring.)

I was excited to check out his tour last summer, but the least expensive ticket was $125.

I imagine that wasn't fully his call, but I'll stay home and do something else when I'm certain I'm being price-gouged for anything entertainment-related.
