Venezuela to perform after several years of avoiding the country. </span> <span data-start-time='10188' data-end-time='19000'>The shows, however, come at an extremely high cost, even for middle-income Venezuelans.</span> <span data-start-time='19000' data-end-time='30896'>Ticket prices for international stars go from about $55 to as high as $600. </span> <span data-start-time='30896' data-end-time='43917'>Last month, Mexican music star Alejandro Fernandez performed before thousands of cheering fans at a theater in Caracas. </span> <span data-start-time='43917' data-end-time='49917'>Some of the fans had gotten bank loans to pay for their tickets.</span> <span data-start-time='49917' data-end-time='56417'>Such major performances in the capital were relatively common in the past. </span> <span data-start-time='56417' data-end-time='68229'>Superstars like the Backstreet Boys were so popular that Venezuelans would wait in line, even overnight, to get tickets. </span> <span data-start-time='68229' data-end-time='76583'>Shakira, Guns N’ Roses and Juanes are among others that used to perform in the country.</span> <span data-start-time='76583'

would continue for years.</span> <span data-start-time='91229' data-end-time='100208'>Today, about 75 percent of Venezuela’s population still lives on less than $2 a day. </span> <span data-start-time='100208' data-end-time='110479'>But for those who have found good private-industry jobs, entered the gig economy or have a business, things are improving.</span> <span data-start-time='110479' data-end-time='116229'>The country no longer restricts transactions in U.S. dollars. </span> <span data-start-time='116229' data-end-time='124583'>The value of the bolivar,
