“Blue Dot Fever” is impacting artists like the Pussycat Dolls, Meghan Trainor, Post Malone and Zayn Malik, all of whom have scaled back their U.S. tour dates, as seats remain unsold for their arena tours.

That price increase is almost double the overall inflation rate over the same period. #inflation #concerts
