Friend of mine's wife has been buying concert tickets online when they first go on sale, and then selling them for a profit (usually) on ebay. She bought 4 pretty good tickets for the Who's Boston 9/16 show (1st balcony about 1/4 of the way back from the stage end). No bids on ebay. Asked me if I wanted them (I saw them at Woodstock and a couple of other times) or if I knew anyone who would want the 4 tickets at her cost: Approx. $460.00
I said no, I could think of a LOT of other things to do with $460.00. (I wonder how much the floor seats in the first 15 rows go for?)

I have to wonder what the interest would be with only two surviving members, especially after 24 years since their last studio album. After this much time, what is the difference between a Townsend solo album and a Who album (besides Roger Daltrey singing)?

Have their tours the last few years been sold out or are there plenty of tickets left over? Part of this is that Entwistle was too much a part of their sound. Another reason may be that the "Boomers" (at least a large segment) are no longer going to concerts. Lots of "Classic" rock acts can't get any air play on regular rardio - maybe on Satellite radio. Just look at Robert Plant's last studio album. I only heard it on XM radio - the Boneyard. He is now releasing a box set of all his solo albums this Fall, including his last two studio albums just to create a buzz.

Kind of sad......
