歡迎收聽《HOT 用英文聊時事》，我是 CLN 的 Clarence 老師。大家有沒有發現，這幾年雖然外食、房租一路漲，但動輒台幣好幾千元的演唱會門票，反而比以前更難搶？這其實就是經濟學上說的「玩樂通膨」。這個現象顯示，大家的消費觀正在從買東西慢慢轉向買回憶，越來越多人覺得，無形的體驗比有形的商品更值得花錢投資。今天就讓我們來聊聊兩個問題：為什麼演唱會經濟能在通膨壓力下逆勢爆發？以及為什麼在 AI 幾乎什麼都能生成的時代，我們反而更渴望這種「無可取代」的現場感動？（參考來源：Business Insider、天下雜誌）
Welcome to “Hot English Topics.” This is Clarence from CLN. Have you noticed this lately? In recent years, eating out and rent have kept going up. But concert tickets that cost thousands of NT dollars are actually even harder to get than before. This is what economists call “funflation.” This shows that the way people spend money is slowly shifting from buying things to buying memories. More and more people feel that experiences are more worth paying for than physical products. Today, let’s talk about two questions: Why is the concert economy growing even under inflation pressure? And why do we want this “can’t-be-replaced” live feeling more than ever in the AI age?
如果只是想聽歌，其實串流平台很便宜，為什麼我們還是願意花大錢去現場？這其實意味著，演唱會的產品定義早就改變了——我們買的，不只是音樂，而是一種社交貨幣，甚至是身份認同的一部分。在社群媒體時代，能在 Instagram 發一則我在現場的限時動態，本身就代表你參與了一場正在發生的文化事件。某種程度來說，演唱會門票就像是一張通往特定社群的通行證，大家聚在同一個空間裡，確認彼此擁有相似的品味，也共享同一段回憶。從這個角度來看，演唱會更像是一種用來彰顯自我價值的奢侈品，讓我們在平常各自疏離的生活裡，重新找回和群體連結的歸屬感，提醒自己並不孤單。（參考來源：International Business Time、天下雜誌）
If we only want to listen to music, streaming is cheap. So why are we still willing to pay so much to go to a concert? The answer is simple: what a concert offers has changed. We are not just buying music. We are buying status, social meaning, and even part of our identity. In the age of social media, posting an Instagram story that says “I’m here” means you are part of a cultural moment. In a way, a concert ticket is like a pass to a special community. People meet, show they share similar tastes, and create memories together. From this view, concerts are like a kind of luxury. They help us show who we are and feel connected again in a life that often feels lonely.
而當演唱會成為一種通往特定社群的通行證，它的影響力也不只停留在粉絲身上，而是能讓原本安靜的街道被全面啟動，變成一整個為粉絲服務的追星經濟圈。過去談城市發展，看的是硬體建設。現在，越來越像是在比誰能把巨星請來，像新加坡不惜砸重金補貼泰勒絲的獨家演出，吸引全亞洲的高端樂迷；而高雄則靠著完整的行政支援與高效率的交通疏散，成功吸引 BLACKPINK、Coldplay 等天團開唱。更關鍵的是，高雄不只把人請來，還設法把粉絲留下。透過「加食延暢」專案，用夜市券串連在地商圈，將短短幾小時的演唱會，延伸成兩天一夜的觀光消費，也讓整座城市成為演唱會的延伸舞台。（參考來源：經理人、關鍵評論網、遠見雜誌）
When concerts become a pass to a special community, their impact goes far beyond fans. They can bring crowds to a city and create a whole fan economy. In the past, city development focused on buildings and infrastructure. Now, cities compete on who can bring in the biggest stars. Singapore, for example, spent a lot of money to support exclusive shows by global pop stars like Taylor Swift, attracting fans from all over Asia. Kaohsiung, on the other hand, attracted big tours with strong government support and smooth traffic planning. More importantly, Kaohsiung didn’t just bring people in—it worked to keep fans longer. Through a specially designed city program, the city used night market vouchers to bring fans to local shops. A few-hour concert turned into a two-day trip, and the city became part of the show.
一場演唱會，確實可以讓整座城市熱鬧起來，但對多數人來說，最後真正留在記憶裡的，還是那個「親自在現場」的瞬間。你有沒有試過，在演唱會全場大合唱時，突然起雞皮疙瘩，甚至有點想哭？這並不是錯覺，而是 AI 至今無法模擬的「集體歡騰」。神經科學研究發現，當數萬人同時專注於舞台，隨著同樣的節奏律動時，我們的心跳、呼吸甚至因為情緒起伏產生的身體反應會產生神奇的同步化。這種生理上的共振，會讓人腦分泌大量催產素，產生強烈的歸屬感與神聖感，讓我們覺得與身旁的陌生人融為一體。這種人與人之間透過親身在場、空氣振動所傳遞的能量，是再高畫質的 VR 直播、再逼真的元宇宙替身都無法複製的生理共鳴。（參考來源：南加州大學、PsyPost）
A concert can make a whole city feel alive. But for most people, what stays in memory is still that moment of “being there.” Have you ever felt chills or even wanted to cry when everyone sings together at a concert? That feeling is real. It’s a kind of collective effervescence—a shared excitement that AI still can’t copy. Neuroscience studies show that when tens of thousands of people focus on the same stage and move to the same rhythm, their heartbeats and breathing start to sync—and even their bodies react in similar ways as emotions rise and fall. This physical connection makes the brain release oxytocin, creating a strong sense of belonging and even something sacred. You feel connected with strangers around you. This energy, passed through real presence and sound in the air, cannot be replaced by high-quality VR or a perfect metaverse avatar.
也正因為這種無法複製的現場感，另一個問題自然就浮現了：當 AI 已經能生成近乎完美的歌聲，甚至打造永遠不會累、永遠在線的虛擬偶像時，真人表演的價值到底還剩下什麼？關鍵，恰恰就在於不完美。蘇黎世大學的研究指出，現場演出之所以更容易引發強烈的情緒反應，正是因為它充滿變數與即時互動——每一場表演，都不可能被完整複製。相較之下，AI 的產出因為可以無限生成、又過於完美，反而很快變得廉價；而人類的演出，正因為體力有限、狀態起伏、結果充滿不確定性，才顯得格外珍貴。我們渴望看到歌手在舞台上揮灑汗水，也願意包容偶爾破音、忘詞後的尷尬一笑，因為那些瑕疵，正是這一刻真的只發生一次的證明。這正是不完美所帶來的溢價——我們願意為那些無法被計算、也無法被複製的真實瞬間買單。（參考來源：蘇黎世大學、Neuroscience News）
And once you realize this feeling can’t be copied, another question naturally comes up. If AI can already create almost perfect singing, and even virtual idols that never get tired, what is the value of real performers? The answer is imperfection. Research from the University of Zurich shows that live shows create stronger emotions because they are full of surprises and real-time interaction. No two performances are ever the same. AI content, because it can be created endlessly and is too perfect, actually ends up feeling cheap. Human shows are different. Performers get tired. They have good days and bad days. All things are uncertain. That makes each show special. We love seeing singers sweat on stage. We forgive the voice crack or the awkward smile after they forget the lyrics. Those small mistakes prove that this moment happened only once. That is the extra value of imperfection—people are willing to pay for moments that cannot be calculated or copied.
總結來看，演唱會經濟的爆發，或許可以被視為人們對充斥著演算法生活的一種回應。當科技越來越能生成流暢、逼真的虛擬體驗時，人們反而更渴望那些只會發生一次、無法重來的實體相遇。在這樣的情境下，科技不一定是主角，而更像是放大體驗的工具。像五月天演唱會中常見的互動式螢光棒，透過雲端技術即時控制全場燈光，讓觀眾不只是坐在台下觀看，而是隨著音樂一起變換色彩，成為整個現場的一部分。也許，未來體驗設計的重點，不在於追求比 AI 更完美，而是在於放大那些 AI 無法複製的——人與人之間的溫度、當下的情緒，以及那段與數萬人共振的記憶。（參考來源：Muse Design Awards、維多利亞大學）
In the end, the boom of the concert economy may be a response to a life more and more controlled by algorithms. As technology can create smoother and more realistic virtual experiences, people end up craving real, in-person moments—moments that happen only once and can never be repeated. In this situation, technology doesn’t have to be the main star. It can become a tool to make experiences stronger. For example, at concerts by Mayday, interactive light sticks are controlled online, changing colors with the music. The audience is not just watching. They become part of the show. Maybe the future of experience design is not about being more perfect than AI, but about amplifying what AI can’t copy: human warmth, shared emotions, and memories made with tens of thousands of people.
