"Blue dot fever"? Are you also cutting on luxury perks?

Some artists are cancelling, postponing or downsizing their concerts to smaller arenas.

This thread also includes folks cutting on paid travel upgrades, elite CC that give access to airport lounges, etc.

I haven't been to a big time concert since pre-covid. There just isn't really anyone I'd love to see that I'd be willing to spend hundreds of dollars on. I'd rather put that money towards hiring a provider and having a much better time. 😅

I just saw Raye at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. Tickets in the first row, in a small - PACKED - venue is simply an awesome experience

That might be the way to go, smaller, and not so spectacular when it comes to special effects, etc. 

A realtor would call that cozy.

I certainly would like to be in a small space with Morgan Waller I just don't want to be in the receiving end of this a chair thrown by him.
