Bingo. There are a HELL of a lot of fans who would pay $hundreds to see either Ed Sheeran or Kenny Chesney play for 90 minutes, or even Carrie Underwood or the Zac Brown Band for an hour. These prices may seem stupid high for a racing event but like it or not, compared to current concert ticket prices they're a bargain for that amount of star power on stage. Depending where you get to watch from, I guess.
Is this a good thing? Er... jury's out I think. I bet there are not an insignificant number of people who will pay the $ for the concerts and ignore the racing entirely. Does that help the series? Um... who knows?
