I'm definitely considering it. Gonna have to try and find someone to go with, and the prices are also kind of high at $140. I've heard there won't be too much demand so better to wait until closer to the date and prices go down. Looks like I'll have a lot of time until the summer to think it over.Quote

Not me, but if I were YOU I'd definitely go! Take the chance to see every band you have any interest in while you still can!

I've never been a fan of 80s metal, even back in the day. But if I had 10 songs by any artist on my iPod, that means I would like them enough to seriously enjoy at least half their show. And since it's supposedly their last tour, may as well see them so that one day you won't regret not having gone.
The Stones have never done a farewell tour--it's just press people who have wanted to say goodbye to them for decades. The Who only did one, and if it weren't for John Entwistle's irrepressibly extravagant lifestyle and persistent debt situation, Pete Townshend would have left the Who back in 1982.
And looking at that photo above, the band doesn't look all that old and they're probably not set for life, what with the music industry crumbling in on itself these days. They'll never survive the last three decades of their lives on record royalties alone. They'll be back.

I find it strange to sign a contract that you'll never tour again

these guys are older than you think, richer than you think and will not live as long as you think.

Well, with being rich there goes a style of living along with it, and the money they have now may not last as long as you think.

tommy lee does solo stuff and appears on tv shows
mick mars makes guitar guest appearances on albums and sometimes writes but he has a bad health condition

These guys (and this entire genre) sucked in the 80's. No offense, but their main contribution is that they are the soundtrack to more white trash lives than any act in musical history... I can't imagine why anyone would want to see them in 2014? For that matter I couldn't imagine why anyone wanted to see them in 1986.
I love how they suggest they are "going out on top". Aren't they playing Holiday Inn's these days?

"Motley Crue announce farewell tour"
The most important word in this sentence is "farewell". Indeed "farewell!"

Motley Crue is easily one of the greatest American rock n' roll bands of all time. I saw them more than 20 years ago in the states and I saw them in Tokyo in 2011. They rocked then and they rock now! Personally, this tour is a must see. As I understand it they'll play North America in 2014 and international dates in 2015 before calling it quits.

Sure, they sold a lot of records in their day, but so did MC Hammer.

I'm glad you like them, but even for a fan that is a bit of a stretch?
