I love going to concerts of all kinds. I will try to go to one major concert per year as long as someone really cool comes. I will also hit up any concerts at the nearby casino because the price is so good. And....I love FREEE concerts too!!!
After budgeting and making an effort to live frugally years ago... it's now totally natural for us. People give us a hard time saying that we need to "live life" and "money isn't everything" - but to be honest, we have absolutely everything we could possibly want, and do everything that we love to do.
I have gone to a few concerts. Sometimes the tickets can be pricey. I am suscribed to the ticketmaster and to live nation and they usually send e-mails with information about pre-sale tickets or discounts. My all time favority concert, was the one i attended with my sister. It was a "Juanes" concert. It was very fun!!
Good points, but I think much of the reason why people have left big banks is political. Personally, I have a problem with how big banks acted (and continue to act) during the recession of 2008 - especially with regard to mortgage and re-fi's. I think a lot of people found their attitudes and actions unconscionable and pulled their business purely on principle.
I used to go all the time, but only occasionally now. The best concert was probably the Ramones in the late '70s, or the Stones in the early '80s. The most recent one was Deathcab for Cutie and Airborne Toxic Event, and that was pretty great. Prices have definitely changed. :)
Live music is important to me, and I go to a fair number of concerts and music festivals. It's one of the reasons I try to save money in other places (like cable TV.)
Also, I host house concerts in my home. Great way to have live music delivered to you door, with the modest payment I make going directly to the artist.
Regularly go to shows but always try to catch shows at the smaller venues in the NYC area. Broke that rule for Radiohead last Thursday but that's a show I'm willing to spend money on
I go to a lot of free concerts, and only a few paid concerts a year. Since I work occasionally in the sound, lighting and video industry, every now and then I get paid to go to concerts!
My husband and I go to one or two moderately-priced concerts per year (high-end for our rural state but mid-range compared to major cities). These are big date nights for us. The last of these concerts that we went to was Kansas.
Typically, however, the concerts that we go to are smaller scale like the local symphony orchestra or concerts at our local university. We both like a wide range of music so we tend to have a wide-range of options.
I agree with you. Not all big banks are evil. Depending on the breadth of your relationship with your bank, it impacts the level of service that you receive. Unfortunately, institutions do not treat everyone equal, as it is a for-profit business. In the past, I have called to get reimbursed for fees, as it did not make sense that the institution was not taking a holistic approach to the banking relationship. Though I shouldn't have had to make the call and explain about the different accounts and services I utilize at the firm, a call and some leverage quickly got them to reimburse me!
I try to go to at least one concert a year but it is getting tough to do on a tight budget since concerts are getting more and more expensive every year it seems.
Very rarely do I go to concerts like I did in the past. But I do like musical festivals and "music in the park" programs--both are better values. And I get the chance to discover up-and-coming artists sometimes!

Three of the points mentioned are my reasons why I would prefer big banks: convenience, stability, and banking options.

I haven't been to a concert in years - I wanted to go to one this year but no one good is playing at the place close to us
I haven't for a long time. I'm really uncomfortable in crowds, plus most concerts are more expensive than I want to pay for.
