Mate, it's Swedish Krona.

Inflation has been going a long way since 1995. Wages for minor working ants may have not been growing in the magnitude, but security conditions may demand a little more dough these days.
What I'm trying to say is, that you can't compare these figures from 1995 with todays money.

But there is a reason for those ticket prices.

It's so fake my eyes hurt...

I can't decide which factor is the most obvious.

That it was in 1995 or that MK ever played three nights in a row in Sweden...

I still can't get over the fact that he played three nights in a row in Sweden... Dammit, there goes my sleep out the window!

But to be honest, the seller's documents regarding Dire Straits from 1985 and 1992 seems to be legit.
