    It's funny...they're almost exactly TWICE that much now...just 5 years later. Then again, gas prices have more than doubled....I guess it makes sense.

    Still seems pretty good to me. I paid $112 in 06 for Chicago.

    I am happy with the price...
    Conversations getting dull
    There's a constant ringing in my ears
    Sense of humor's void and numb
    And I'm bored to tears.......

    is this even a discount anymore? or will it be the same as ticketmaster? good grief.
    It is time to admit that we used to rock like hurricanes. It is time to run for the hills and go round and round. It is time for us to shout at the devil. We've got the right to choose it, there ain't no way we'll lose it, and we're not gonna take it anymore.

    i'm sure tenclub did what they could to get the price as low as possible... not happy with it, but i don't blame them for it.

    Inflation's been running 3 percent to 4 percent a year. That doesn't double money in five years. It takes about 20 to 25 years for that to happen.
