Status: offline 		I just bought tickets to see The Allman Brothers at the Beacon in NYC.  I've seen them there probably about five times in the past and another five times in Jersey venues and have spent about $30 per ticket.  Fast track to 2009 and it's now $500 for two floor seats at the Beacon.  Stupid me actually just paid that because if you've ever seen them play there then you know why.  When did it become so expensive to see certain bands? 
Gregg better not drop dead...

Status: offline 		they're all doing that now.  the money is out there and people are willing to pay it.  it's just not right to charge that much.  remember the days of parties in the park when the good bands would play and it didn't cost your firstborn to have a little fun?

I saw them in Cedar Rapids once... they were incredible. A little younger then but still, I'd pay that. Who's all in, is Stevie Nicks performing? I say GO, you won't regret it!

I was just wondering when they got so expensive.

They keep asking outrages prices for the same performance delivered for less years ago--and people pay it---what would you call it?

As Gregg gets closer to death his stock value goes up.

They did have cheaper seats.  I've just gotten to a point in my life where I can afford better than last row.
