Just Announced Commentary - 2011 Edition

A) The show itself was great. The band was tight as ever and Yow was at his Yowest. Even he was obviously annoyed at the sparse and inactive crowd.
B) Good point although from all accounts, Baltimore which is a significantly smaller market was a more raucous affair.
C) Yep, Joe.

oh please I bet one can find people in other cities complaining about others not dancing or getting into show...  have you seen this clip from blow-up?  not much has changed in 40 years

Yeah, more often than not, the criticism is stupid and unfounded but for this show in particular, the crowd was an embarrassment.

DC crowds couldn't touch Detroit on its biggest crack hangover day.

guesses on how much prime orchestra seats will go for?  i say top price is $250 (ticket only, excludes any potential VIP packages/"fantasy ticket" bundles/etc).

[bearman🐻]

I'd guess closer to $500. I don't know why, but I just totally have a feeling it'll be something absurd.

[bearman🐻]

$141 for "regular prime" orchestra seats. Not sure about the VIP yet.

$141 for "regular prime" orchestra seats.

wow.  we really are in a recession!

$141 for "regular prime" orchestra seats.

wow.  we really are in a recession!

That's only because he'll only be playing music from this:



on his lute.

But if Jennifer Connely and David Bowie show up, that's a wash, right?

[James Ford]

Only $20 for Little Dragon the same night.

Who would pay seven times as much for a Sting show?

$141 for "regular prime" orchestra seats. Not sure about the VIP yet.

[sweetcell]

because he likes sting, and doesn't care about little dragon? 

you could also listen to the drunk dude with an untuned guitar on the street corner for less than a dollar.  why pay 20 times more for little dragon? 

[bearman🐻]

Hmmmm...$275 for VIP package. Yeah, I'd say if the economy were better he'd be going for much more.

[hutch]

The DC area economy is actually doing really well.. and thats the market that matters..

[Brian_Wallace]

I think she's hot.  I'd pay for that with some lace-ups and discipline.
