I'm pretty much disgusted with ticket prices too. When my husband and I were talking about going to see Fleetwood Mac in Chicago and how much tickets were, we decided to go and it would have to be our vacation this year. We had been fans since the 70's and never gotten to see them, so it was a one time thing for us. When you add the price of a hotel, gas, time off work, and meals to the ticket prices, we just can't afford to do that very often.
I hope to get to see the Eagles on this HotE tour, but it will have to be in St. Louis which is much closer. And then I won't be paying top dollar for seats in the back on the floor. That's ridiculous! I don't know, at these prices, I may not go at all. There's is more to do in life that watch a concert for 2 hours. Once you leave it's over! Yes, you have the memory, but there is a big world to see out there and some of my money is going to go for me to see it. I guess it depends on your priorities.
VA, I understand all the costs involved, but they are pricing themselves out of my market and many other blue collar fans too. Not only the Eagles, but all these bands that are charging these prices. Soon they will only be for rich people, I guess. In my book, they already are.
