Yeah...it kind of saddened me to see the ticket prices on this tour.  Granted, it would be cool to see them with the BSO, but upwards of $100?  Makes me miss the days of a $15 Black Cat show.  And it's extra lame because I actually dug the latest album more than the one before it.

it's $40... which granted isn't exactly cheap, but at the same time they are playing with a symphony orchestra which doesn't typically lend itself to being cheap.
 
 i saw ben folds perform with the bso and it was amazing. i just wish he had played 'bitches ain't shit' - but i digress...

How anyone over the age of say, 15, could possibly enjoy that song, is beyond me.

Hmmm...wonder where I got $100 bucks from?  Oh well, still too rich for my blood.
 
 I've grown to have a real problem seeing bands at large venues when I've seen them at smaller ones.  For some reason, I just can't enjoy that anymore.
 
 SNOB.

... for the LAWN.  plus TM over-charges.  seats in the pavilion are $75 + fees.  definitely qualifies as an expensive show.

[Vas Deferens]

miss pretentious failed to tell you that $40 is for the LAWN! It is actually $90 per ticket for the best seats in the pavillion (after ticketmaster fees), or $76 at the box office  
 
 $40 for the lawn is quite high.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Ditto. And I don't think it's due to musical snobbery.

Which is probably why I can't really enjoy seeing the White Stripes anymore. Bring me back those $12 shows!

Total agreement on this. That's one reason why I always try to catch opening bands. You never know when you'll find an awesome new band that's on their way to larger, crappier venues.

They're one of the few bands I've seen at both size venues that I've still enjoyed on a larger stage.  The last Merriweather show was awesome, but it was probably helped by 1) me having floor tickets, and 2) the GA section being quite spacious.  Tons of room to move and space to breathe.

Is that on the 14th? That's my mistake. And yes, it'll be awesome.
 But too rich for my blood as well.
