Attending a concert is not always easy. And this, for a financial reason. While prices are getting higher and higher, Nicola Sirkis from Indochina says he is “appalled” by this phenomenon.
Sometimes you have to save several hundred euros in order to be able to go to a concert. Recently, the prices of the places undergo a sharp increase, which did not escape the singer of the famous group IndochinaNicola Sirkis.
For him, these sometimes exorbitant prices appall him: “When I see the ticket prices of some of my colleagues, I am indeed appalled”, he confided to our colleagues from Sunday newspaper. Before continuing: “We live in a liberal economy system, producers and certain artists want profit. Not me, not at any price. You still have to stay dignified, ”added the 63-year-old man.
Tickets up to 650 euros
Nicola Sirkis returned to this subject, following the world tours of Madonna or even Beyoncé were announced recently. In order to attend, French fans will spend up to 650 euros. In addition, Usher has also announced a series of concerts at the Seine Musicale in Boulogne-Billancourt where the price of tickets in the standing pit amounts to … 331.50 euros.
Totally lunar sums for the interpreter of ‘Trois Nuits Per Semaine’, since his group Indochine maintains prices around 50 euros for their concert. “From the moment we decide not to get rich on the backs of our audience, the one who allows us to live our passion, there are consequences”, recognizes Nicola Sirkis all the same.
“Our tours are balanced because they are sold out a long time in advance, but we make little or no profit and this affects our fees. It also happens to me not to take it, ”confided the singer. But as far as the group’s technicians are concerned, they are always paid: “It is not up to them to undergo our ethical choice”.
If the rise in the price of concert tickets is justified in particular by the rise in energy prices, for the member of the Indochine group: “No argument is relevant except that of wanting to earn money”.
