at a concert
There’s your problem. It doesn’t matter if you’re buying Dasani or Aquafina or Arizona Tea. Venues have captive audiences and jack up the prices because they can.

JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 days agoThe only time I ever bought Liquid Death was at a concert. I paid $15 for a can. I don’t see any humor here.

Don’t liquor licences in your country require serving water?
In (all?) of Australia to have a liquor licence requires you also serve free water. That can be tap water, but it has to be available as easily as the alcohol. Typically from a bartender, waiter etc depending on the establishment providing it for you.

Country?
This is America.
Liquor licenses are handled by the state or municipality.
At this particular venue (Xfinity Center)…no, I don’t think so. Most of the vendors that are around are in carts with just beer, water, hard seltzer…maybe a canned cocktail or wine cooler.
Maybe at the counter-service vendors, where you could get mixed drinks. Possibly.

So vendors are gouging people and you blame the manufacturer? That is funny. $15 would buy you a 12 pack of tall boys and you’d get change back. Ffs
Well, you. Now. For one.

The only reason I’m gonna be smart enough to bring water to concerts is because I read this thread.
