Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo So what are ya listening to tonight?

Ok, I just found the ticket, it was 6-23-77.

You're probably right. At that time, $10 would have been about the cost of 1.5-2 albums for prime seats. Try doing that now.

Remember all the hubbub when the Eagles got back together and were wanting $100 per tick. I think that's when everyone started wondering how far this is going to go.

Metallica, '95 or '96, and the tickets were somewhere north of $80. Decent seats, though.

And the Eagles ticket prices are over $200 for good seats

I wonder how much all the 'lipsyncher' pop stars are trying to vacuum out of their fans pockets?

Wife and I know a couple in Orlando that paid over $700 (two tickets) for this months Eagles concert in Orlando, that's getting a pricey for me. We were looking at getting tickets for Van Morrison last year in Orlando but the least expensive tickets were $175 a piece, I do like Van Morrison but not for that much.

I've been reading that a lot of the NASCAR tracks are reducing their ticket prices due to the economy, I bet others will follow suit.

Geez, that's absurd. I knew there was a reason (aside from having a kid) that I don't go to concerts any more.

I worked with some guys a few years ago that made a point of hitting 1 or 2 F1 races per year, usually CDN GP plus one of the European races. Excluding all other expenses (flight, food, accmdtns) the tickets were usually between $300-500 per. The sad thing is, we're just putting money in millionaire/billionaire pockets....I think there's a bit of reckoning on the horizon for sports in general...like they say on Wall St....Demand Destruction.

Ain't gonna happen. People like their sports too much.
