Is it worth spending more than 1,000 yuan to go to a Jacky Cheung concert?

If a concert happens to be held in front of your door and you happen to have free time, you may be able to spend a thousand or even hundreds of dollars to go to a concert. I have to say that you are very lucky. of.

Take my favorite singer Hua Chenyu as an example. The year before last, there were only two concerts at the Bird's Nest on September 8 and September 9. For me, to go to such an annual date, what I need to pay is: tickets; round-trip air tickets (train tickets); accommodation, meals, transportation in Beijing; support surroundings; the cost of leave, etc. Last year (2018), my two tickets were 380 and 1,080 respectively. Added together, they were 1,460. There was only 540 left from the 2,000 mentioned in the question, and it was obvious that I spent more than 540 to complete the remaining projects. is far from enough.

I heard some people criticizing Hua Chenyu saying that Hua Chenyu doesn’t go on tour because he is not popular enough. In fact, he had a tour in 2016, but on the one hand, he did not want fans to travel and work hard with him, on the other hand, he hoped that his concerts would not be copied and pasted from one concert to another. What's more, the Bird's Nest has 180,000 visitors. Do you want to say that it is basically filled by local fans in Beijing and "passerby popularity"? Basically a joke.

How many fans come from all over the country, or even all over the world, to attend a concert at a cost even greater than mine? Even if only one-half of the 180,000 fans come from outside Beijing, this number is still considerable. They spent a lot of money, time, and energy, but still enjoyed it, which can only be explained by their extreme love for the singer. Does this kind of love test the loyalty and stickiness of fans more than at home?

From my own personal experience, there is nothing better than going to his concert to give back to your favorite singer. I may have no merchandise, no endorsements, or even no album, but I must be there for his concerts.
