He's a legend and everything, but $75?

A club show with Al Green is worth every penny of $75. His first time here was easily one of the best shows I've ever seen, and I've witnessed some amazing shows in the last 25 years. The man is an amazing performer who can heat up a room like nobody else. And his band is fantastic.
 Last time he got everybody so wound up there was a full dancefloor after the show, we were all grooving to Earth Wind & Fire, Ohio Players, James Brown, etc. There was so much energy generated by his performance the only thing to do was bust a move. Almost 100% of the time everybody just leaves after a show is over, but not after Al Green. It was a blast!

melissa etheridge charged $75 for all 4 of her shows last year, so consider that same price for Al Green a blessing. Although, I admit it is a bit extravagant considering James Brown, whose had an even bigger impact on music than Al Green, wanted only $50

And it's only 18.75% of what the Rolling Stones are charging for comparably close seats.
 
 And he's not charging you $100 just for the privilege of getting to buy those absurdly priced tickets.
 
 Seems like a bargain really.

one of the things that i hate most about other venues and avoid at all costs is the immediate "EVERYBODY OUT!" mentality.  barring double shows and special circumstances, we usually give a decent amount of time for people to filter out on their own before we do any encouraging.  when we do have to clear out, we always give the option of the backbar to finish up drinks or hang out.  nobody should be yelling or pushing or anything like that.
