What makes you happy today?

[gorgik9]

The Australian study, titled “If You’re Happy and You Know It: Music Engagement and Subjective Wellbeing”, involving 1000 people, has concluded that people who regularly go to concerts are happier with their lives overall than those who don't.

If science says so, it must be true.

haiducii + music= TRUE :thumbs up::cheers:

Have as much fun as possible :big hug:

Look at the prices on those tickets. People who can afford to go to concerts like that have plenty of money. That is why they are happy.

Totally agree, if you're talking about the UK ticket prices.

All prices (except Ezra) are in Croatia Kunas! So, it means that Tom Odell ticket costs 16,82 GBP. In the average restaurant in London you can't afford dinner with beer for such money...

Out of interest I just looked for some prices for UK 2019 tours. Ed Sheeran in Leeds will cost ya £82.50 and that's no seat, it's for standing or if you prefer Billy Joel at Wembley Stadium then as far as I can see the tickets range from £57 to £115.... makes the Kaiser Chiefs in Glasgow for £38.50 sound like a bargain

…. I'm not a fan of any so won't be buying

Aha!*
I could make out that one of the prices was in Euros and made the erroneous assumption that the others were too. There is a lesson to be learned from that mistake.
Before the age of the mp3, record companies used to underwrite tour costs against cd sales. Today tours need to make a profit so no more cheap tickets.

*who keep reforming for shows again and again, Morten's voice still sounding as good as it did 36 years ago.

You're right! Live events are quickly shaping up to be the most lucrative space for musicians in the digital-music era.

While album sales dwindle and streams may only pay out fractions of a cent at a time, live shows (tours, festivals, concerts, etc.) are commanding some of the highest ticket prices ever.

And then add on the profits from the merchandising... tour programme guide; posters; t-shirts etc

Since a good time I have problems with my PC. It is running, it is not running, it is running bad, it is running good. I've been brassed off now and 4 weeks ago I've ordered a new PC but not bought off the pag - I've had enough from these items. So I've ordered a PC correspondent with my wishes. And today in the late afternoon I got a phone call - the new PC is ready!

On Saturday my PC genius will come and will awake him to life. It will be a long and surely very stressful session and I hope from deep of the bottom of my heart that on Sunday or Monday both of us - the new PC and myself - will be real friends! Press your thumbs!!

Perfect snack for the saturday afternoon P

The smell alone can put me into a happy mood pretty close to the smell of sizzling bacon.

A day off work and nothing planned so a damn good excuse to chill around the house naked and catch up with buddies on social media. A total ME day.

 

[slimjim]

Should have been tidying up the garden but weather awful so had to spend all day curled up on the sofa in front of the fire :thumbs up::thumbs up:

I am very happy seeing on the news that the conservation efforts in Nepal are successful and the tiger population has doubled in Nepal.

A Star Is Born (2018 remake)

Totally deserved. :thumbs up: I'm impressed with Doncic game.

 

[trencherman]

Tumbler banning adult materials actually makes me happy too since I will have a lot more free time now to do productive work instead of just looking at pictures.

 

[haiducii]

I got a call from one of my friends...

he was yelling: ''i got the tickets''

After the tickets for the first Croatian tour of Foo Fighters on June 19th, 2019, in Pula Arena, sold out in less than a two minutes, a second Croatia show has been added on June 18th, 2019, also limited to 7,000 tickets. Once again, the tickets were sold out as soon as they were released online...
