$659 for a one night gig....

You can get a week pass to a festival for cheaper....

I guarantee that there is entertainment that you spend money on that other people find foolish.

Not that much money though.

Sure, but chances are, relative to much of the world, you are actually pretty wealthy and most people would scoff at you spending even 1/10th of that on a single event. Remember, there is much of the world where the median yearly income is under 1k a year.
