After the crash, Concorde couldn't really fill flights until fairly recently. At that point, with the aging craft (older than your average 747 flying), it was not cost-efficient to fly super-sonic. Before the crash, a one-way fare was $10K, and they filled it almost constantly. Now? The last flights were that same amount for a round-trip. Even at a 50% bargain, it was still too expensive.
As much as I hate flying, had there been an NYC-Rome Concorde, I would have taken that when I lived abroad. I did get to see one landing at CDG, though.
