I think everyone has good points- on one hand it does add up with travel costs etc,, risk of cancellation. However, if you were to say- I am going to spend $X but it is the only time I can see them then go for it. However, I found that instead of spending $850 for transportation to either Buffalo or Pittsburgh- I could see 6 or 7 other shows-some even artists I have nto seen as much. Always a t

I went to see Barry Manilow last night - 94 minutes with a 20 minute medley of around 15 songs. Concert was easy to get to via public transportation- also Taylor Swift was next door at the linc so it wasn't like driving to the middle of nowheere and having to rent a car Maybe the Stones should like do a medley like Genesis does. Maybe like Love Is Strong/One Hit To theBody/Monkey Man/C

QuoteBILLPERKS Awesome show last nite, great set list, packed house. Other than Pete saying something stupid about Moonie, a perfect nite, specially at $50. I agree- he defintely put his foot in his mouth. Why does he have to say anything at all? I found it somewhat disrespectfull, but enjoyed the show quite a bit.

I went to the show in Atlantic City as well. I felt as though judging from the crowd on the boardwalk/arena/city during the day that this was a well traveled show and many people I spoke to had seen another show during the week as well. They added Slip Kid as well. In general, it seemed to be less casual fans than Philadelphia, but then again it was a Friday vs Sunday as well. I am looking for

OT: Just back from the Who. They were pretty good. Occassionally Roger wore a little but he is fantastic and I doubt any other 71 year old could do what he does. Pete is a genious and the group as a whole is wonderful. Disclaimer: I don't love them as much as the Stones, but it is easier for me seeing them 3 times this year than seeing the stones once. It was a great show but nothing l

Its going to be the Sweet Sixteen tour- 16 arenas back in major markets. No longer hitchiking, cabs, rodent inns etc.... all for 2016. Look for dates in Philadelphia of course, MSG again finally as well a Fleet Center in Boston, Air Canada Toronto and a return to Baltimore. Those are 9 of the dates. The other 7 will be Staples Center 2x, MGM 2x, Chicago 2x, and Houston. Quite similar

It kind of reminds me of the "sacrifices" one has to make to attend the show; i.e. 1989 I won tickets took the train, 1994 drove to giants stadium 1997: got ride to Philly, got ride to Giants Stadium 1998, stayed at Hotel Penn.. Then you get to higher ticket prices, days off from work, travel costs. After awhile it does indeed become a "one sided relationship". There has to

Quotewindmelody The samples on Sympathy from 1989 onwards totally ruin the song. Apart from the b-stage walk I do not know on which song backing tracks are used. Certainly on 2000 Lightyears, but the 2013 version was lightyears bettet than the one from 1989/90. It seeems they are EQ'ed a little higher in frequency vs. subsequent years.

While waiting for Buffalo to go on sale, what shows have other people purchased?Ithink so far I purchased Madonna and Shania Twain. Outside from us here, is it possible they will lose out to the casual fan who has committed summer budget to country acts, ampitheatre shows etc.....
Forum: Tell Me

I agree with your post Indystones- around $175-$200 is a comfortable level. Also, being there another day you can do other stuff as well. Although I prefer my $10 Philly/AC total transportation cost-shows, I do go to DC/Bal/NY. However, I think $800 for Buffalo could be out of reach for me, but 2013 the costs were $800 for many people- It is fair this time as now others get a chance.
