Well yes, money does mean alot to them, and thats why they're still charging so much. It would be incredible that since they are 70 and extremely well off, they would charge reasonable prices for one last go around. That would be great for fans. And I love and respect them. Think they are some of the coolest rockers still out there. The money issue is annoying though and it makes me upset that (for at least these 4 special shows) I can't see my 70 year olds live. I think they should more "stop and think" than us. For most, these concerts are an easy decision.Quote

We all should stop and think.These guys that we love are almost 70 years old!
And people still want to hear them, It's truly amazing, They really are a freak
of nature. Myself I just hope they live the rest of their lives healthy and happy.
At this point does money really mean alot to them?

If they had charged estimated "reasonable prices" to comparatively few tickets in the first place, who would have managed to buy the tickets and with which motives?
How many tickets would have been resold to much higher prices - to whose advantage?
Out of those that would have kept them, how many buyers would have been authentic fans?
I don't know the answer to these questions, nobody can, but ask them to make posters reflect.

They sold out almost immediately and a lot of fans who wanted tickets and could afford it didn't get a look in. So the scalpers would still be advertising tickets on eBay for thousands even if the originals were a fraction of the price because demand outstrips supply multiple times.
This is the plus side of stadium gigs. More supply so everyone who wants to can get in. Sorry if you're such an elitist that you refuse to go to a stadium gig. They are probably the biggest live draw in the world. Of course this would happen when they announce four special anniversary gigs in a relatively small venue.
