Kevin Parker is a one-man studio wizard who rarely tours—so demand is astronomical. Plus, his live shows involve a massive light rig, a full band, and enough lasers to make a Star Wars prequel jealous.
Ticketmaster also uses “dynamic pricing,” which means if everyone suddenly decides to buy tickets at 10:02 a.m., the price spikes like it’s on caffeine. It’s capitalism, baby, but with more glitter.
And let’s be honest: you’re paying for the experience of hearing “Eventually” live while crying happy tears in a crowd of strangers who get it. That’s priceless—but Ticketmaster will still charge you a service fee for it.

How to Save Your Wallet (And Your Sanity)
Sign up for artist presales through his website. It’s the only way to avoid getting eaten by scalpers. Also, follow Tame Impala on social media—sometimes they drop surprise shows with cheaper tickets.
Consider nosebleed seats. Yes, you’ll be near the ceiling, but the light show looks even trippier from above. You’ll feel like a spaceship watching another spaceship.
If all else fails, buy a last-minute ticket right outside the venue. Just be ready to lie about your budget. “Sorry, I only have $60 and a half-eaten granola bar.” You’d be surprised how often that works.
