I Went In November
His number is actually reasonable.
The price for a normal ticket was $65. I paid more for a VIP package. The band was King Crimson, not exactly a megatour.
However, this is for all concerts of any type.
If we just look at the high volume concerts, I'd bet the average base price is much, much higher than $72.
I think he's using the average of hundreds of events, which is pulling down the average.
I simply don't believe one could have purchased a Beyonce or Taylor Swift ticket for $72.
His number is "accurate" but misleading.
