Seen the advertised prices - to quote guys at Fusenet website:


ticket prices for the Paris concert :

EUR111,00 (= USD173,33)
EUR89,00 (= USD138,93)
EUR67,00 (= USD104,62)

 
 
also those guys are also bemoaning SF prices are $100 US or more......
 
Scientologists sock the fans on their collective jaws?

Is anyone planning on going to the one in St. Louis, or does anyone know how much the prices would be there? I'm hoping that Dick's info stating the US prices (in excess of $100) aren't for all venues.
Around $50 would be nicer (and still not "cheap") Big%20smile... but maybe I'm just dreaming...Unhappy

Reviewer suggests band was  tight although it was clear there were occasional looks for reassurance, wrt came next. Also comments flying at some of the outrageous prices being charged.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I had to skip the show in LA for work related issues. Angry Man, my employer has no sense of priorities whatsoever. Wink
 
I hope they come back one more time.

I saw them in Ottawa last night (26th) for 30$ at the Jazz Fest. It was an amazing show, and I highly recommend it to all Jazz / Rock lovers. And of course, I forgot to mention that its been 25 years since they've been separated....
