It's not that funny paulywaul, in fact I think it might be true.
I don't know when it was the last time you saw them in Europe. I saw them on august 13 2003 in Rotterdam (feyenoord stadium) I was up front (2nd row) and I paid 70 euro's for my ticket. I paid $160 (Canadian) to see them in Montréal next January (not even on the floor) and that is the same amount as on the Licks tour, so I don't think there will be a huge increase in the ticket prices in Europe. The thing is that someone in N-America once had the STUPID idea of putting seats on the floor, in Europe the floor (field) is always general admission and thus giving real fans the chance to see them from up close instead of people with too much money who come walking in 2 minutes before the show starts. I guess it is too much for the American audience to stand up during the show.
