Last night, LI/NY-KISS

I paid $12 in 1982 to see Judas Priest and Iron Maiden.

Adjusting (generously) for inflation, tickets ought to be between $36 and $48 bucks to see that caliber of bill at a major arena venue.

WTF

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index, prices in 2017 are 154.01% higher than average prices throughout 1982. The dollar experienced an average inflation rate of 2.70% per year during this period.
