 i believe that these types of shows should be free to the public.

Oh, they're charging alright. Like a motherf**ker.

 $350 for a primo seat?  I'm cool on that . . . My interest in going (which aside of Roger Waters & 3 - 5 other acts wasn't all that high to begin with) has suddenly just decreased threefold . . . BOLLOCKS!!!!!!!!!!

To help pay Al Gore's residential power bill?

That's exactly where it's going.

so aren't all these bands going to be playing like a 20 minute set at the most?  i think i'll pass.

[sonickteam2]

perhaps its going to Roger Waters and Billy Corgan.
 
  lets not jump to conclusions that its the promoters fault alone.
 
   perhaps these bands didnt want to play for free.  Al Gore doesnt have the same pull as Geldof!
 
   and lets not forget that Giants Stadium is a HORRIBLE place to see a concert!

You're paying for the privilege of being preached at for a few hours by a bunch of self righteous celebrities who once read the synopsis of a book.

Isn't it worth $350 to be within a hundred feet of Leo?
