Jeff Lynne's ELO is touring North America next year and prices range from USD140 - USD179 with special seating from USD199 - USD699. Jesus.

All u really see is the idiot in front of you with his phone in the air recording it.

I paid $600 each for Rolling Stones tickets a few years ago. Once Mick Jagger's gone he's gone for good, but I can always find more money from somewhere. I'd rather spend money on an experience than material goods.

You can hear great talent in that genre at your local pub, for the price of a beer, which is where it all started. Recently spent $20, to hear a magnificent Chamber orchestra. They filled the hall with gorgeous woody tones, without amplification.

There is a limit for you somewhere ... I am all for spending money for experiences but those prices I quoted were for the schit seats in a huge venue, the kind of venue I avoid ... I saw Green Day a while back in an intimate outdoor venue and paid USD 85 which I thought was fair.

The industry has shifted from printing dollars with record sales to making money off concert tickets and promotional items.

If there is a worthwhile band or group of bands playing at the Music Bowl, I won't part with anymore than $100. Otherwise, I won't go above $50 for a ticket to see some band that I have some general interest. I paid $85 for a State of Origin ticket. Never felt so bored watching a game of league.... and I was at the game live. So, if a good band came to town that I liked, or perhaps something special, I would not go above $100.

At this stage...
