I think if you've never seen Bowie you should most definately go. I hate the venue also, but decided to go anyway because my wife has never seen him live. I've seen him loads of times and have never been disapointed with any of his performances....even during his Tin Machine days.
...and the more I think about it $58.50 plus $7,583.00 in service charges is a steal for Bowie if you compare it to $75 for Sprngsteen and $200+ for Simon & Garfunkel.
