Swiftonomics

The effect Taylor Swift has on ticket prices and the economies of cities and local businesses.

Due to the limited supply of tickets and high demand, fans pay anything - nosebleeds cost as much as $1,500 per seat - to attend a concert. The costs to see Swift aren’t just limited to the price of a ticket but also hotel prices, merch (t-shirts are $55 and hoodies are $75) and other associated costs.

I have sold my soul and my house to see Taylor Swift live. Swiftonomics in action !

abandonware

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.

Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.
