Depends on where you are and depends on organisation. If it’s a small venue and a DIY type of thing, chances are that the merch money and at least part of the entrance is going directly to the band (as opposed to the 1% kickback they’d get for streaming).
Go to concerts, buy physical.
Have you seen concert ticket prices lately?? Even small to mid size bands playing at 1500 person venues are $60+ for GA. It’s nuts.
I saw Castle Rat in Brooklyn the other day (great show) and it was like $25 + $10 of bs “fees”.
I don’t see many bigger bands anymore because the tickets are more than double that.
