I paid $4.50 to see The Beatles live in 1966, but I sure wouldn't pay over $8,000 to see anyone, I don't care if was the queen of Russia.
You saw the Beatles in 1966? Wow, I wouldn't have washed my hand since then if I had!
Oh, and by the way, the Russians didn't have a queen, they had a Tsarina!
I saw them as well at that crazy price. Well, I may have paid $6. You really couldn’t even hear the music. Large screaming crowd and tiny sound equipment. I think the speakers I have now for my stereo are bigger, lol.
Ticket prices for concerts are for the most part kinda crazy. These aging artists need to keep in mind that their fan base is aging and can’t pay the price...or want to deal with the crowd.
The last concert I went to was the Eagles “Hell Freezes Over Tour”. The ticket price was obscene ($200), but hey it was the last time to hear them. And Hell Keeps Freezing Over with them. I hate to be suckered.
