Yep, sounds reasonable. I have flown at least once a month or more in like forever, and never have seen coach fares like that, even on a busy business day. We have seen fares from about $450-$750 for coach, near the $750 for the comfort plus seats, fairly consistently all this year so far, which I will buy for my business trips. Recently booked; STL - second week in May $552, DCA - completed last week $672, PDX - in Jan was $527, short notice booking. All Comfort Plus, that is why a coach ticket for over $1,000 on a Friday outbound from a major hub is strange.
I only see a couple of concerts in Nashville that weekend. Maybe hundreds are flying in for Challenger Fest? IDK, but they can have it for that much, when I could just fly to Louisville for about the same driving distance. I’ll probably pass, it looks like at least a thousand dollar bill to travel, eat, stay somewhere and rent a car, just to watch. I’ll use that money to pay for my 55 gal drum of Hellcat juice I am expecting any day. I am over near Milwaukee at RA the weekend before driving laps, so that will be fun and expensive enough.
