    I'd love to see them again as well. It's been 14 years since I saw them last.

    Paid the most Ive ever paid for any gig when saw them at Manchester.£150 from touts outside.Worth every penny.
    What can Floyd charge when The Australian Pink Floyd tribute are now charging up to £50 to see them.

    Aussie Floyd is SPECTACULAR, DON'T see Roger Waters when you can see these guys.

    I would pay whatever it takes to see Floyd live, seriously.

    I'll tell ya, I'd love to see this. Whaterever the beef is between Waters and Gimore, I'd wish they'd put it behind them. In all honesty, I'm seeing Waters solo in 2 weeks and for the price I paid for that ticket, I'd much rather see a full Pink Floyd reunion, but Waters solo should still be amazing. I'm just saying for the $200 bucks I spent I'd much rather see a Floyd show proper.

    Here's my idea...
    Pink Floyd (the post Syd Floyd... 'Meddle' to 'The Wall') can still pull off a legitimate reunion because Waters, Gilmore, Mason and Wright are still alive and still viable musicians.
    They do one week stints in Los Angeles, New York, London and Sydney. Stadiums... because the massive Floyd theatrical show plays well in large venues and you can be sitting up in the press box and still have an amazing experience.
    Each city does one Stadium (The Rose Bowl, for example)... for one week. Six or seven different shows. No opening act... one intermission (old school style). The Greatest Hits, The Wall (from beginning to End... the same as the 1981 shows in L.A. and New York), Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals (each with other songs from their vast catalog tossed in the mix to make up the extra time). Since 'The Wall' requires such a massive effort... it is played twice or 3 times.
    This way, there is not the expensive logistics involved with moving such a huge show. The bricks, the balloons, the animation, the coordination... expensive to pack up and transport.
    They can charge Rolling Stone/Paul McCartney prices because their shows are worth every dime. And people would pay it. They can start sales for 5 shows and add shows if the demand is there.
    I have been fortunate enough to see the 'Wish You Were Here', 'Animals' and 'The Wall' tours and they rank as some of the Best shows I have ever seen. They could make a fortune and there are millions of people worldwide who will make the pilgrimage to one of the cities.

    My aunt dragged me to see three bands I'd never heard of , well , except for being gifted the 45 of Happy Jack as a birthday gift. The bands were The Who, Pink Floyd, and The Troggs. That was July 24, 1968. I was 9 and the venue was JFK Stadium (R.I.P.) in Philly. 40 years on, I'm over the moon that I went. Still a Who and Pink Floyd nutter. I would love a chance to see Pink Floyd again. Saw Wish You Were Here, Dark Side, and Animals tour shows as a teenager ,but that was 30+ years ago. I'd definitely pay several hundred dollars for just one ticket to see a reunion. Heck, I was thrilled to see David Gilmour solo at The Tower Theater and Roger Waters " Pro's and Con's of Hitchhiking" (w/ Eric Clapton on guitar) just to experience an " as close to Mr. Floyd as I'm gonna get" show.
