How dare they increase prices this much over 22 years!  Kidding of course, the 2020 prices are very reasonable in my opinion, especially compared to other bands.  Thought this was fun to see, I have to find the blue mailer from 1996.

    Interesting, I still have my ticket stub from the Seattle show on that your. Price on the stub says $30 not $32.30. Man even with what the Canadian dollar exchange rate was back then that seems like a steal.

    And no odds were posted!

    i remember getting 5 shows that yr through TM windows.  Had to wait the “regional freeze” of 15 mins before I could get them.  I always drove to the most obscure TM outlet in town hoping for no lines.
