6. I wouldn't say the 1%.

25% sounds about right for most of the attendees. But, I bet the remaining 75% have known someone, perhaps it was even themselves, who overpaid for some ridiculous thing like that just once or once in a while as a special treat. But it's not the kind of thing we/they would or could do on a regular basis. On a few occasions my wife and I have spent a lot of money on club seats for sporting events to see a favorite team. People probably thought we had money, but it was a special occasion and we are otherwise frugal when it comes to spending on entertainment, and we don't take lavish trips and such. The sphere and Las Vegas in general will not see us anytime soon.

But, yes, I agree, events are ever more priced for the wealthy and not so much the average working person.
