I don't think the camping out happens anymore. Mostly people buying online before the brokers snatch them up and resell marked up from the already high face value. I wouldn't even know where to buy in person anymore.

In my experience the past few years, you'll be hard pressed to get into a big name show for anything less than $100. I'm still getting chit from the wife for not grabbing Petty tickets for Wrigley Field at $300/per (to be fair, I was late in the game on that one, but still betting they were high during initial sale). I told her no way. Then he up and died, and I will be reminded of this for the remainder of my days.

Even with him dying no way I would feel bad about not spending $300 and I'm a fan.

Completely agree. Bought her the Running Down A Dream Blu Ray. 10% of the ticket cost with endless repetitions

Sorry didn't know we were talking Metal. I don't really know the current bands. I still listen to Tool, Metallica, Slipknot, Type O negative and of course the 80's hair bands I grew up with. Currently listening to a Band called Bloodline - Northlake. So many I'm missing.

Mettalica. .. Yes please.
Never been A Slipknot fan.

Favorite band of all time doesn't exist anymore. If the members could reunite and do one more show before it's too late... I would fly to any country to see it.

Maynard's a crazy fugger. Definitely a performance art aspect to many of his shows. Started a vineyard out in NV or AZ somewhere too. Haven't tried it but a friend said it was good vino

Cigar lady, may have good instinct but no sense of budget. I just can't get on board with where costs have gone. How do kids even go to shows anymore?

Never thought of it in those terms... I guess kids today just don't get to see concerts like we used to. Jeez, I saw everybody and then some without even trying that hard. My son spent a weekend in NYC to see someone callled Logic. Tickets cost more than his hotel in Mid-town Manhattan for the weekend. That's just not right.[-x

Oh no... I go to.concerts every month. I love music. It is my religion. But I guess the difference is Im not a kid and I have passive / residual income that pays for stuff like concerts and cigars wine and shoes... And all the fetish bull...

Kids these days have to save for weeks to afford these shows or get it from mom and dad.

I just went to Dave Matthews band last month in Pensacola.. Floor tickets for Row 5 were $680 for me.

Robert Cray - 4 Nights of 40 Years Live

Although I’ve been a fan since “Strong Persuader”, haven’t listened much since the early ‘90s. Saw him open for Clapton in 2007.

82F / 64% RH / 12 mph - overcast, expecting rain
