Well, that's certainly disappointing, geeze...

.

If it's gonna cost this much I'll have to pass, or get the major nose bleed seats, bummer sad

.

it's probably this high because of taxes.

SEATs are sooo american.

It shows the condition of the people. (check the obesity historical rates until now)

The prices show the condition of the money and the industry.

These prices are the only way the artist can rake in quickly without having to play two or three shows per night.

Pro is that there migth be a full show. (1h30m or more)

And he will still play them hits and do a sampler set.

Count on it.

If you go: have fun!

Oh wait.

He will still do two shows per night?

That would mean the plan is the same, only the prices have changed.

In Brussels I paid €100!

Heck! Even in Cologne I paid DM 70,- or so.

.

Still, these prices and tactics make me believe the main reason for doing hits and run tour now is the money.

Makes you wonder about his cashflow.

That'a about usual from the last few go-rounds. Most seats $100-ish, more like $250 to be up front. In a 2500 seat theater even the nosebleeds don't make your nose bleed that bad.
