 11/5 The Police
 11/11 Bruce Springsteen
 11/15 Neil Young
 
 If one decided to buy a single "cheap" ticket for these shows, (pre-service fees) that would come to $299 total.  If one decided to buy a single good seat to these shoes (pre-service fees) that would come to $694.
 
 Who do they think can afford this kind of stuff??

[chancegardener]

No Neil on sale date yet, though it'll cost $67 to $157. Bruce will cost $65 to $95.

what should they do, reschedule shows to fit your budgetary constraints?  "sorry bruce, you're going to have to change your tour itinerary - DC has too many shows that month.  how's april looking for you?"   :roll:    
 
 life is full of choices!

Are you sure he is doing Misfits songs?  From what I have read, Doyle is just opening for him. But it sounds like Danzig will be playing his solo stuff.

The older folks who were fans during the heyday of these artists and now have lots of money to spend.

I'm pretty sure he's playing Misfits songs, since that's how it's being billed.  Really wish I had the money for that show...

Who is going to the Police? The prices are too rich for my blood, but I'd like to go and have a pre-sale opportunity and the seats aren't too bad. However, I also wanna go to Bruce (looking for someone to help me get tickets b/c I'll be away from a computer). Anyway sorry to sidetrack but I am curious if anyone is forking over dough for the Police? (and sweetcell - everyone has every right to make a statement or at best, complain about these prices and the shows all together - I don't think anyone is stating anything other than the obvious and that doesn't mean switching tour dates to appease us.)

had i not seen the police at bonnaroo and been completely underwhelmed, i would probably be interested in the show here.  i'd go only if i didn't have to pay a dime.

Funny you should say "synth pop." I think this might be another one of his acoustic shows.
