It's too expensive for families to do these kinds of things anymore.

I brought my kids to RB when they were small a few times. B.O.

Even then the tickets, for good seats, were $100 a piece or close to it.

I can't imagine what they are now. A.O.

Factor in a funky hat or two, a cool drink in a funny cup you get to keep, dinner at the Red Robin after and you are looking at real money.

Hell, the burgers at Red Robin for a family of four with tax and tip will set you back $65.

Very glad I am not "just starting out". It'd be downright depressing.

I took one child to see the elephants for the last time. Tickets were about that price - absolutely ridiculous.

It was a great show and we did walk around the rings prior to the show - lot of fun, but not sure it's worth $600 for an entire family evening.

On a side note, concert prices are through the roof, too. Don't know how anyone affords it.
