    $1200 for 4 tickets.

    This is why i didn't buy tickets. I like U2, but to spend over $600 for 2 tickets is RIDICULOUS. And, they were the cheapest tickets.

    Yeah. Some friends are covering the other 2. At least its guaranteed to be a good show. Also our seats are at half court about midway up the lower bowel, so they'll be solid seats. 



    but yeah, its an expensive night out. Probably blew my concert budget out with it.

    First song on the album makes me ask what is up with this apparent compulsion so many artists now have to auto tune the shit out of a perfectly good song?? I just don't get it.
    Besides that travesty, the album's okay. Several songs that I sort of enjoy. They'll never make anything as good as they used to again, but hey, that's life.

    Well, it sounds like they finally made 'Pop'. The desperation to sound relevant really isn't becoming boys.

    This is true.

    But the same can't be said for the RHCP. These studs are flourishing still.

    For some reason I just never got into RHCP.

    Probably all that ear hair muffling the great sound.

    Such a great record! Wow! Most straight forward set in a long time. Since All That You from 2000.

    Really like Summer of Love, Red Flag Day, Little Things (favorite), The Blackout, and Love is bigger than anything in its way. Wondering what they setlists will look like next year?

    I just got the new album, but i haven't got a chance to listen yet.

    My friend was able to get us tickets for a show next year, and man, they are expensive. We got tickets near the roof and it cost near $200 a ticket. I know they sold cheap GA tickets, but this old man can't do GA anymore>LOL> We couldn't score those tickets anyway. I saw that Lower Bowl tickets are going for OVER $300 for ONE ticket. I could've got those tickets, but that is just WAY too much money, even to see U2.  I like the Band a lot, but they've turned into the Rolling Stones, as far as charging BIG $$$$ and playing the same set list every show, on a particular tour. But, they're still making music and touring, so that's a good thing. I'm sure we'll enjoy the show.

    I'm someone who thinks Binaural and Riot Act are their two best albums and who puts S/T above their first 3 albums too - so basically I think their 1st 8 albums are perfections, and I'll have to disagree with you guys. ;) But it's true since BS, obviously. There is no way a band can make a big creative comeback after BS and LB.

    Tickets for the second Boston show are moving very slow.
    You can get row 2 in the Loge right now.
    Those prices are crazy.

    Yeah, you'd think they've got enough money by now and could lower those fucking prices to something close to reasonable. It just seems like greed at this point.

    So i'm confused - did the 2nd show not sell out?  When I go online I see a bunch of tickets and assume they are part of the re-seller market?  If that is the case does a show ever sell out anymore?

    Lots of balcony-level tix for $128 each. Is that face value or resale prices?

    tons of tickets left for the newark show.  GA tickets are a great deal but the rest of them are just too damn expensive.

    If they come near me I'll be going. This is a band I don't think it's wise to pass on.
