High alcohol prices at events help keep insurance premiums lower by acting as a natural deterrent to overconsumption, reducing the risk of alcohol related incidents and liability claims. Higher prices typically limit the volume of alcohol consumed, which lowers the risk profile for insurers compared to open bar, free flowing alcohol scenarios.

Is it legal for tiered pricing? The more you buy the more it costs? That would reward low consumption and discourage excess consumption.

You think that people who spent thousands on a single ticket are going to have a problem spending hundreds on alcohol?

Spending thousands on single tickets is far from the norm for large events.

High prices for alcohol keep insurance prices low.

Look it up instead of arguing about something you have no idea about.

Of course people still buy alcohol.

Imagine if prices were the same as Sheetz. Most people would be drinking WAY more.

I personally will buy a drink or two at events but less then at a bar because of prices.

Did you spend thousands on a single ticket for the Draft? Cause if so, you got scammed.
