Gate fee for shows in Nigeria, is it reasonable?

For those who live abroad, convert N25grand and 50grand to your currency and tell us if you think that's moderate or too much money to pay to go see a music or comedy show.

All the major concerts that have held in Nigeria in the last year or so, have had a gate fee of 5-10k for regular, 20-25k for VIP and a VVIP table for 10 people for N500grand. If you divide it, that's 50k per person.

Now, more than 70% of people who are employed in this country earn below 20grand a month..(I stand to be corrected). So I'm thinking, the average Tuface Idibia fan will probably never see him in concert...because to see him in concert, it will cost him almost half his salary...and with all he needs money for...he can't afford a ticket to go see his idol live in concert.

With all the problems people face in this country, people want to unwind, they want to socialize, they want to dance and laugh and see their stars live, but because concert organizers in this country think it's OK to charge 25/50k for a 3/4 hours show, it makes it difficult. And even if you are an above average worker who earns maybe 150k a month, and you want to go see D'Banj live in concert, it will probably cost you and your partner one third of your salary to make that happen. And when you think thoroughly about how hard you work to earn that money, you'll probably just sit your ass home and watch TV, right?

We blame the Government for all our problems in this country...rightly so...but for some problems, we need to take a deep look at ourselves. Like Mahatma Gandhi said, "Let us be the change we want to see in the world.' or something like that..:-)

There's so much I want to say but let me stop here, I don't want to offend anyone...:-)
So, that's my opinion on the matter. Please no insults o, I've had enough for one day...:-). Just share your thoughts.
