I would bet that increase in revenue has much more to do with the skyrocketing ticket prices than actual attendance.
For example, U2 ticket prices have gone from $17 in 1985 to around $130 today. That's way more than can be accounted for by inflation (if inflation alone were responsible, you'd expect ticket prices around $44).

I know I rarely go nowadays, and that's entirely due to the outrageous ticket prices.
- the_only_law 4y agoPersonally, there’s just rarely any shows I want to go to. A large majority of stuff seem to be cover bands, or just something I’m not that much a fan of. Venues have also been falling off, I know at least one local place I’ve been to hear had to shut down because of covid. And then, at the last show I went to, they charged you for goddamn cups of water at the bar.
