If the Oasis reunion tour and the Eras Tour are anything to go by, it’s become practically impossible to get your hands on a reasonably-priced ticket to see your favourite artist in your own city. Cue the rise of ‘gig-tripping’, where fans buy a ticket for a show elsewhere, and stretch that ticket into a mini break.
But where on the continent will your money go the furthest? Luggage storage platform Radical Storage has looked into the average cost of concert tickets in locations across Europe alongside the most expensive artists to see live.
The cheapest place to see a gig in Europe is Nottingham, with an average ticket costing €67. Antwerp claimed second place with €89 and Birmingham claimed third with €91.
Feeling flush? Milan is apparently the most expensive place to see a gig, with the average price a staggering €377. Marbella came second with tickets costing roughly €293, and Munich came in third with an average price of €230.
