    Getting back to the billing, there is no longer any pretence about the 'with' stuff. In the latest email I received it's just 'Eagles' & states that more dates have been added because of the 'overwhelming response'. The email also promoted the Sirius channel with specific mention of Gill & his favourites, etc.

    The next email I get from them, I will unsubscribe, and the more I see the tide turning here, the more likely it is that I will have to stop posting here.

I've seen some other prices for the other cities and some of them start at 90 or 100 dollars for nosebeeds. Yikes. I'm glad New Orleans is not that expensive compare to other cities they are playing.

    One example of the artist that charge an arm and a leg for their tickets. Donny and Marie. Some venues were charges 100 and 200 dollars for their shows on the road. You can pay 300 dollars in Vegas and you get to meet them after the show. You don't when they are the road. I only played under a 100 for their show at a casino and I had center seats, but I was miserable the whole night because they weren't stadium seating like seats and I had a tall person in front of me. Never again will I get a seat in the center that venue. I had a better view in the nosebleeds at that same venue when I saw Peter Cetera in September.

    I don't need a front row seat or seats in the center(well of course if they are cheap. LOL) to see somebody I like. Mostly everybody I see in concert are older artists who haven't put out an album in years or barely get played on the radio. They play mostly at fairs (where I can see them for free), casinos or smaller venues. We rarely get big names here in MS. You would have to drive 3 hours to see a big star.

    I like smaller venues. The last big venue I went to was Don's show in Sugarland in January. I forgot how many people they hold, but Smart Financial Center was big and it was also very brand new.
    Did you see Donny & Marie at the Flamingo in Vegas? That’s where I saw Richard Marx this summer and the tickets were very reasonable. But I agree with you about not needing front row seats to enjoy a concert, and I like smaller venues as well. When I did the m&g for Josh Groban it was a one time chance to personally thank him for the music that meant so much to my Mom and me. The last few years of her life she had Alzheimer’s and some days the only thing that made her calm was playing “her Josh Groban” and “her Alan Jackson” music. I lost my Mom recently and I remember how happy she was that I was able to give him a card from her.

    I have to do ADA seating, well at least until I get the courage to have both knees replaced and a right hip replacement. Until then my best friend of 46 years and I are doing bucket list things. Both of us are pushing 70, we’ve survived cancer, then spouses to heart attacks, I’m retired and she retires next year. We did our first road trip in 26 years to Colorado last month and hope to go back again next summer to a concert at Red Rocks. My whole family is gone now. It’s just me and a little dog, and having the Eagles concert next year to look forward to is going to get me through the holidays. I don’t know where our seats will be, I’m just so grateful to see them.

    So I apologize if my talking about going to meet and greet shows, sitting on the front row, or needing floor seats made me come across as being a snob. I didn’t want to offend anyone by what I said.

    TimBFan - Please accept my deepest sympathies on the death of your Mom. What a sweet story regarding “her Josh Groban” . I think Josh has a beautiful voice and one day hope to see him in concert. All I can say is go for everything in that bucket list ! Also, I hope you enjoy your Eagles concert next year. I'm sure no one things of you as being a snob, I don't.

    PS - My next door neighbor just had knee replacement surgery. It was rough for her at first but she is now back to work and doing good.

    TimBFan, thanks for giving the perspective of someone who would be willing to pay this much for tickets. We can each of us weigh up the costs and benefits and decide what is right for us.

    I do think the way that TM handles sales is awful. It's one of the reasons why I bought from the venue for a Birmingham, UK, HotE show.

    I'm going to buy through the venue so I don't have to pay those extra taxes which I think its stupid.

    I'm so sorry for your loss, TimBFan. Maybe one day I will do a front row or center seat.

    Brothers for life. RIP Glenn

    I'm not sure I believe in fate, but I know that crossing paths with Glenn Lewis Frey in 1970 changed my life forever, and it eventually had an impact on the lives of millions of other people all over the planet. It will be very strange going forward in a world without him in it. But, I will be grateful, every day, that he was in my life. Rest in peace, my brother. You did what you set out to do, and then some." -Don Henley

    No. I haven't seen them in Vegas. Last year was my first concert of there's. I saw their brothers many times, but not them. I was so happy they came to MS.

    It's sad what has happened, downright pitiful but there are many many fans who do not support the band continuing without Glenn Frey regardless of who they hire to play the music and sing the songs. I have seen comments from disenchanted fans ranging from this is about Don Henley and Friends to the proverbial cash grab allegations and more. At the end of the day (figuratively speaking >>) all I can do is turn my head and cover my ears which is a very sad ending to 45 years of being an Eagles fan. To those who expect and even demand I embrace this lineup as an acceptable alternative I am sorry but that just isn't going to happen.

    Well, you've seen what's happened to this thread which was supposed to be a 'safe space' (I loathe that term) for people like you & me. Now it's all about the ticket prices, which should have been discussed in the 2018 thread. Now it seems we don't even have this thread any more.

    Yes we have. I couldn't care less about the band now. I couldn't care less about Vince Gill in the Eagles. Only Glenn could sing a song like Lyin' Eyes under the name "Eagles" IMO. Etc. (Although I don't have a problem with anyone enjoying the band now - and no one should have a problem with me not enjoying it.)

    Yes - to use a Glenn Frey term - that clocks it pretty well.
