Luke Combs has made a bold statement that most other people would not publicly admit — the fact that he is okay with making less money this year than previous ones.
Combs was a guest on the Zach Sang Show, where he got to talking about the price of concert tickets nowadays and how he believes they are way too high.
“How much money do you need to make? We’re doing such volume in these shows so it’s not like the promoter, or I’m not making any money.”
The “Sleepless in a Hotel Room” singer doesn’t care who he offends by revealing the fact that big-time artists and promoters are making way too much money off of fans who just want to see their favorite musicians live.
When people ask Combs how he knows he has enough money in the bank to stop worrying about financial issues, he has a great answer.
“Once you get past X amount, it’s like, ‘What’s the difference, dude?'”
Money Isn’t Luke Combs’ Focus
“I live a very simple life, within the scope of what I do, of course,” Combs says.
“I don’t need a Ferrari, I don’t want one. That provides me no happiness. My kids, my friends, my family, my job — those are the things that I derive my self-worth from and my happiness, not from having money.”

Combs clarifies he is not saying that “having money isn’t a great thing. It’s a great thing, and it improves your life a lot, there’s no way around that. That’s the God’s honest truth.”
Luke Combs Loves His Fans
“They are the reason that I’m here, they are the reason that I get to do my job, there is no shows without them, there is no records without them…there’s no nothing without them. They are my boss.”
For that reason and that reason alone, Combs does everything in his power to keep his concert ticket prices as low as possible out of respect for his loyal fans.

Luke Combs is ready to join the ranks of country artists who have opened their own bars in Nashville’s Broadway district. The honky-tonk will be called Category 10, playing off of his debut single “Hurricane.” Although true hurricanes are categorized no higher than a Category 5, Combs opted to double the intensity with a 10 ranking. It’s a nod to his career, really.
Category 10 will be anything but small: The bar will be the largest entertainment venue on the strip, featuring the area’s biggest dance floor and rooftop. Combs is also including more intimate spaces to accommodate young talented singers and songwriters.
