How Much Does It Cost To Be A Die-hard fan?

Being a Spurs fans is costly. Not doubt. But we all pay because, well, it’s amazing escapism. The very best. What makes us die hard is our loyalty. But unlike other ventures, we are stuck with Spurs. Be it whether they are making sweet music of just making a massive racket of awful noise (this is a football analogy for playing badly). But music is something a bit different right? You can fall in and out of love with bands and artists. You can discover something new too. You can escape to something new.

It’s great to have that way of disconnecting from Tottenham, after a poor result. Spurs pre-game have stepped up a little, playing Metallica’s Enter the Sandman. Not too shabby. But what of other choices they might seek to select going forward?

Being an indie music lover already makes you special (as special as being Spurs). A music genre whose makers have the liberty to break away from conventional patterns and be unexpectedly creative is, for obvious reasons, not for everyone. So when you are now a diehard fan, the love is extra special. That said, if you are just transitioning from a casual indie music listener to a fan that follows almost everything about their favourite artist, you might want to sit tight for this one. With the rising cost of tickets that is now almost a norm, you’d probably be interested in knowing how much it costs to be a diehard indie fan.

Metallica

Metallica is one of the biggest rock bands/indie music makers out there and has undoubtedly paid their dues since 1981 they’ve been in the music scene.

Fondly called “Rocketman” from his hit single back in 1972, Elton John is the second costliest indie/ pop rock artist to be a fan of, according to a Betway study. If you add the cost of tickets to attend his last 23 UK live shows and all the monies that will naturally go with merchandise and track/album purchase, it will cost you around £1,895.06 to be a diehard Elton fan.

Coldplay
