Now I don't bother with them much as they're out of my price range these days. I always said I'd pay anything to see the Stones and my 99 buck tickets years ago even pushed it for me. But today I got an email from Showbiz about Miley Cyrus tickets. Now, what is the average age of one of her fans? 15 maybe? Well, the email advertises tickets starting from $147ea. Am I just old or Holy Shit.......
As an aside, the first concert I saw was Billy Joel in '86 (was about 15 myself) I think it was, and tickets were about $35. Is that comparable to today? And back then it was just one price where ever you sat, none of this silver/gold/platinum seat pricing.
