My wife would absolutely pay money to go to an auditorium with 100 other people to watch a live taylor swift concert. Even though its technically feasible to do it in your home, or even to watch it the next day, I know she would pay to be part of a "live" experience.
- kevin_thibedeau 2y agoThey have that now in movie theaters that simulcast stage performances.
- crooked-v 2y agoSure, but there's a huge visceral difference between looking at a screen versus "being there" in what your brain interprets as, for example, a small black-box theater with a stage in the middle.
- dangus 2y agoYeah but a movie costs $10-20 retail and costs much less to deliver technologically speaking. All that fancy “you’re really there” technology costs a lot more with diminishing returns on the running costs.
- bikezen 2y agoTheres places like https://www.cosm.com/the-experience https://www.cosm.com/the-experience that have a spherical view and seating right up close that do live sports and concerts that are more engaging than a normal flat screen.
- rs186 2y agoYes there is a big difference. But if you look at all the options -- 1) paying hundred of dollars or more, potentially having to travel to a different city to watch the actual event, where you enjoy it with friends/family and the rest of the crowd 2) watch a filmed version in the theater or Blu-ray for $10, with your family/friends and other fans 3) purchase a $3500 headset that is heavy and uncomfortable, watch a filmed version for $10-20, with yourself The movie theater experience seems like a pretty good deal. If I am not watch the real thing, I might as well just spend $10 and get a great experience.
