# Aloha from Hawaii and 1970s arena pricing turn the live act into a high-floor household entertainment cost

Date: 1973

## The fact

On 14 January 1973 the Aloha from Hawaii concert sat inside a 1970s arena-and-satellite pricing regime.

It is one event.

## Context

The same night is an access miracle on another row. Split signs. Fame is not welfare; a ticket price is a household cost.

[Elvis Presley](/people/elvis-presley)’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

The 14 January 1973 Aloha from Hawaii via satellite was a priced entertainment event (and a charity overlay). 1970s arena tickets under Parker were not a public good.
Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers date the row.

## Evidence and sources

Billboard’s concert-industry framing and Graceland/EPE’s Aloha chronology independently date the 1973 satellite show as a commercial event.

Official or archival record: Graceland / Elvis Presley Enterprises (https://www.graceland.com/; Elvis Presley Enterprises).

## Significance

Priced global entertainment is a [household-purchasing-power](/drivers/household-purchasing-power) path of medium confidence on any one city’s take.

A ticket is not a 1961 USS Arizona benefit.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 14 January 1973 Aloha as a commercial satellite concert. Not established: a complete real-wage series of ticket costs.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Elvis Presley.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date, signatory, or non-occurrence; a demonstrated forgery; or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of other causes.

They are not a public rating.
