ros2002	Why is there such a huge variation in ticket prices? From $34 in Milan to $125 in Norway??? I see that the Euro countries are cheaper, but why is there such a big difference in ticket prices?

It's all because of the Euro. It is.
Joking of course.

It has, at least partly, to do with the size of the venue being played. (say 2.000 or so versus 10.000+)
Revenue has to remain at an interesting level for Mr. Prince. wink

gooeythehamste r	We all know northern people are bigger and need more space. Italians are small and you need more of them to fill a stadium. DOH! this statement was made based on prejudice

It definitely has something to do with the size of the venue

See the man with the blue guitar, maybe one day he`ll be a star...

Let's ask the price question during the soundcheck.

It's all about the venue

big venue (like Antwerp, Sportpaleis) = Cheap

small venue (Stockholm) = Expensive

furthermore,

The north of Europe (Sweden, Denmark, Finland) have a higher quality of living (read, everything is more expensive)

So basically it is :

capacity * location = price of ticket
