Or if you value the experience of going to a Beyonce concert without breaking the bank, or if you’re willing to trade off an amount of the experience for a 85% discount. There’s always a set of seats that are behind the stage, and there’s a lot of people who want to see a Beyoncé concert but can’t.

if you’re willing to trade off an amount of the experience for a 85% discount.

I feel this is being a bit disingenuous. Most artists do tiered seating. It's not like every seat available in the venue was $900 unless you get seats behind the stage.
