Plus, tickets are obviously going to be most expensive in the most expensive place to live in the country. So tix prices will be much higher in NYC than in Cincy or Tulsa OK, etc. Of course, salaries are generally higher for the same work in NYC than those cities, so its all relative. Plus, NYC is a market of 20 million people competing for the same finite amount of seats for any particular concert, which again forces ticket prices higher.
add--having said that, I just found in a 3 minute search on TBstd seats in the 100 level of Barclays, 117 row 7, for $225 each and even better seats in the lower part of the bowl (Sec 20) at $230 per rather than $350 per.
