How much of that is going to the people who lost family lives in Victoria ... ? 
I can follow if "all profits go to ... ", but if that's not the case "cost price" is more contextually appropriate.

Gouging and Troughing is undignified in any context, though common in Capitalism.  You become numb to it after a lifetime, but the numbness doesn't redeem it.

Still.  If you aren't a local, that no of $s will be trivial compared to the trip costs.  It's just the knowledge that you're being gouged by a professional accomplice of one of your ethics-heroes that makes it bite.

What! $80 for the warm up gigs! Bulldust! That too dear for a local band. the average ticket price for a big name local act is about $40, ie The Presets etc.
the Oils usually kept their ticket prices quite low.
Oh! This is going to be a VERY expensive 3 days.
According to local radio tix $80.00, still not sure if it is an all ages gig though.
