I'm not sure about that last part. A meal that lasts an hour is on the long side while a concert is several hours long. In my area (San Francisco) and experience, it's like $20 for a dinner or $50 for a concert.
FWIW, I also operate on the experential-model, and I'm going to remember a concert far more than 3-4 random dinners.
