Very cool - I would love to see Annie Lennox perform! I did see Freddy once - that Queen show I'll never forget!

YEAH! That's the one! I've been trying to remember their big song without looking it up. I guess actually they had a bit more longevity than I gave them credit for because I've heard that song off an on the radio over the years to this day. I just didn't make the connection. Cheers!

Actual prices. I typically pay scalpers to get close to the front, that can cost up to $1200 ( that is, I've seen them listed for that, I've not paid that ). Rocklahoma is three days and I have a VIP ticket, but the others were just plain old general admission prices. I forget what I paid for Iron Maiden in Toronto, I think all my other shows, I paid scalpers. I think Maiden was cheap, like $60 or something.

Wow I guess I've been away from arena-rock shows too long! I'm not really complaining - I was ready to pay approx. $250 - those tickets were sold out in seconds. Mark

yeah, I paid about that for Poison, to be in the third row, and it was well worth it.

In a couple hours I'm on my way to see The Police. Their first tour in 23 years ... I never got to see them in the 80s. Reunion tour? I like to call it the "we can charge anything we want for tickets because we're The Bloody Police tour"! Over $100(usd) per ticket for the cheapest seats, seats that I'll probably need a telescope to see the stage from :) Anyone see them on this tour? Can I expect good stuff? Hmmm, one of my favorite drummers, and Sting...I think so! Cheers :beer: Mark

Really ? I was paying more than that in the 80s to see bands. And Poison and Ratt is TOTALLY worth $65.

if the prices were reasonable, all the young perky whippersnappers would get all the tickets first from these new intarwebs and small pocket phoney things, leaving no ticked for us old farts with a day job. :beer:

Hi Judy! It sucked. Just kidding! They were pretty darn good. Sting's voice is still 100%. Stewart Copeland's drumming was great - not quite the same energy as 25 years ago - but still, I don't know how he does it, especially after not playing much for many years. His percussion work away from the drum kit was basically amazing. I'm a drummer so I watch those things closely LOL. My only complaint was the guitar too low in the mix - most likely the effect of being a half mile away wedged in a little corner of the arena :) Have a great time!

For Poison? I guess 3rd row would be cool. I played in a band and opened for them and partied with them afterward. The audience was awesome but I'm not sure how much I'd pay to see them :) Actually I think they're playing with Ratt but I'm pretty sure I missed out on tickets. That may be a good show to get tix through a "broker"....hmm Cheers, Mark

I know what you mean. I'll pay to see energetic bands, but these geriatric tours, I don't know. Thanks for reminding me about Chicago. I'd like to meet those guys. Unfortunately they're playing too large of venues - no chance of my band getting any openers with them. Dammit :)

How was Ratt? Somehow I never got to see them when they were playing clubs here in the 80s. I sure listened to their albums alot though! I may just get some tix for that show....my G/F's been bugging me about going...

No one today that is popular would I pay $100 to see in concert. And no one from the past is in their prime enought for me to pay $100.
______________________ stuff + cats = awesome
I agree. I grew up with "super-groups" that were great at arena rock - Boston, Journey, Ted Nugent, Van Halen, etc. but these days I'd rather hold out for more intimate venues where the sound is good. It's cool to see those groups for nostalgia but being past their prime I don't think they're worth those ticket prices, unless they have a drummer I like that I've never got to see play live before LOL.
