No but folk with e.g. two young/teenage daughters might care if they're avid fans of x singer and they get priced out of going because of folk that buy the tickets in bulk and resell at x times face value. As usual, it's the ordinary working person/family that can't go to these things.
I bet Monaco was stupidly expensive. Very nice place though.
I’d been there three times before the GP and it can be if, like anywhere, you go into a waterside café or bar (none of which are open during the GP) but the motor museum housing every car the Grimaldi family has owned as well as many others costs just €8 to enter and if you go up the hill to the palace, you can get a huge takeaway baguette and a drink in one of the many sandwich bars or cafés in the quaint old shops up there for less than €10. All the reasonable priced souvenir shops and cafés are up there. All the overpriced and designer shops are down in and around the harbour. First time we went there it’s was when we stopped off on a Med cruise. I had booked a lap of the F1 circuit in a Ferrari as an excursion but it was cancelled because that year they decided to have the Tour de France as one of the destinations and many of the roads were coned off due to the bike race but we had a coffee and a coke in a harbour side bar and it cost something like €25. We must have been dressed halfway tidy as a couple of back packers tried to sit down at the table next to us and the waiter just rudely waved them away!
