RUSH - $104 tickets, plus fees?!

Better Dan

I'm not a fan of most of Rush's mid to late 80s stuff and this tour seemed to have a lot of that. I knew that going in but I was still a bit disappointed in the show. I like clockwork angels and that material sounded good though...9 songs off of the new album I believe..I preferred that to a lot of the other stuff they played though. Still not much of a greatest hits set for the casual fan so you may want to save your money, IMO. I thought both the snakes and arrows and the time machine tours were much better.

they are so mind blowing live somehow that this is a reasonable price for an average (at best) seat for an ancient band

I believed you... I just never even did a search for the shitty seats because I hate shitty seats.

Well then you may have to pay the top price and ease up on what seems like whining. Back 2009 I payed $110 for some nice seats for ACDC and that was worth it. I had to get though a set of ear plugs for my daughter and I, that had to be one of the loudest concerts since The Who.

Peace

Well I think it's pretty clear that I am whining. It just seems like a lot to me for this band at this venue, that's all. I mean, how am I supposed to be able to afford to go to check out concerts that I don't even really like with these kinds of prices??
AC/DC though.... that's different. Now they put on a SHOW and then some (and I didn't much care for their music either).

Yes ACDC's Black Ice Tour was spectacular and very loud. My daughter and her date friend had a great time, as much as she does when we attend RUSH. I can't believe I spelled paid like that. :nono:

Paid $135/ticket face value for side stage lower bowl seats for the show in Halifax, 9000 total seat venue. No complaints.

Wow 9,000 seat arena I didn't know RUSH played venues that small. Still the sound effects should be great. I've got tickets for Sunrise/Fort Lauderdale then later tickets for their Orlando stop.

I thought it might be fun to check out Rush since they're coming to town soon... I'm not a fan, but I've heard it's a fun show with a good crowd. Fucking $104 per ticket plus TM fees?? Not even on the floor? I don't even want to know how much floor tix are. What a rip off!!! .... Unless someone can tell me they are so mind blowing live somehow that this is a reasonable price for an average (at best) seat for an ancient band?

well, fuck.....when I was in BC for pearl jam I couldn't find a burger for less than $15 or a pint for less than $8. a barista at starbucks told me vancouver was more expensive than tokyo :shock:

It is when it comes to property and rent, but not for stuff like that. I don't known where you were going for beer, but that's not how much shit like that normally costs.... mind you, beer is that much at concert/sports venues, so maybe that's what you mean!

Okay, well there are normal priced beers in any neighborhood. I think you just happenex t go to the expensive places, which certainly are rip offs.

I paid like 150 for Petty.....worth every penny. And I just paid 100 for Sting......thats what these classic rockers charge now......and I'm more then happy to pay it.
