Artists are canceling tours — and there's a name for what's behind it: Blue Dot Fever. Rising ticket prices and consumers pulling back on discretionary spending are driving it. If you do still want to go, here's how to actually bring the cost down: Buy the day-of. Sellers with unsold inventory sometimes cut prices, especially for lower-demand shows. Sign up for artist, venue, andTicketmaster alerts early. Presale codes and fan club memberships are still the best way to get the cheapest tier. Skip the resale market for hot shows. Resale fees stack on top of resale markup. #bluedotfever #funflation #personalfinance #concerts #livemusic #economy #consumerism #money #ticketmaster
