Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction tickets in low demand

If you've bought tickets to the 38th Annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, you are among the few.

Driving the news: Tickets for the Nov. 3 event at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn went on sale last week, but demand is down from previous years.

The intrigue: This year's list of inductees includes Kate Bush, Sheryl Crow, Missy Elliott, George Michael, Willie Nelson, Rage Against the Machine and The Spinners.

  • As of yesterday, roughly two-thirds of tickets were still available on Ticketmaster, with prices starting at just under $150.

Flashback: Last year's ceremony at the smaller Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles nearly sold out within 24 hours of tickets going on sale.

  • The 2019 ceremony — the last time it was held at Barclays Center — sold out within two weeks.

💭 Troy's thought bubble: The Rock Hall will announce performers and guests for the 2023 ceremony in the coming weeks.

  • They'll need a big-name presenter or two — like Taylor Swift inducting Carole King in 2021 — to grab people's attention.
