I couldn't agree with you more. Concerts are becoming as pricey as going to the movies (I go about four times a year, if that. Even matinees are becoming too costly.) My heart goes out to a family of four trying to go to a movie now - are you listening to this, Brad Pitt? Oh, of course not! Maybe you keep some of that
$20 MILLION a picture you're paid in your ears! Summering in your CHATEAU in the SOUTH OF FRANCE....) I have a friend who lives outside of Missoula and she barely scrapes by from month to month, and she's working herself to exhaustion.
This Spring, I paid over $100 for a Fleetwood Mac concert here in Sacramento for a fairly lousy seat - and then they decided to cancel the concert about one hour before it was to begin, with no explanation given! I think there was a Jimmy Buffett concert I wanted to go to and good seats were $350!
This doesn't help you but "misery loves company" - a single ticket for a Lightfoot concert here in California is over $100! If these prices continue, ever spiraling upward, these artists might discover their fans have no choice but to stay away in droves. Oh well, they can just kick back in their mansions and keep busy by telling us how WE should live - particularly "going green" when they're riding around in big limos and flying in private jets! It kind of reminds me of pre-Revolutionary France, with the stars assuming the nobility's role, "Let them eat cake!"
Off the soapbox, sorry! I sure hope you all will find a way to attend! Best wishes...SherylKat
