How Much Would Spend on Concert Tickets Today ?

RobV said:
Most I have paid was Eric Clapton & Roger Daltry (The Who with Simon instead of Pete) 3rd row in front of Simon it was $269 a ticket. Last year for my B-Day we saw AC/DC and tickets were $54 but we were nose bleeding.

Good show’s to see Rob, I am amazed.I am sad to see how many people have grown so far from what they once loved.
I hate to let it go.
The joy of live music has always had a place in my heart. It’s hard to imagine giving it up but Neil wrote the words to that dilemma.
Echo , with the sounds of salesman

One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

“For the words of the profits,
Are written on the studio wall,
Concert hall –
Echoes with the sounds…
Of salesmen.”
 
If I were to gauge the audience at the Rush show , the fans are unlike the average fans. Of course the crowd was biased due the fact the band is 50 years old. Lots of younger people discovering Rush live for the first time, 20 something years old , not old enough to have seen them in 2015.

Every song holds a special place in my journey. The price of tickets is definitely gauging.
Observation;
I went to a local barber a couple of weeks ago, I said to him, I wrote a song called
“ I wish I had half the money I threw away “
He said “ I don’t, money is how you make memories “
 
To see the world as it is now , maybe Neil would have been disappointed but his lyrics stand the test of time. Geddy sings with the conviction Neil wrote in those lyrics , still:

“Yes, we know
It's nothing new
It's just a waste of time
We have no need for ancient ways
Our world is doing fine
Another toy
That helped destroy
The elder race of man
Forget about your silly whim!
It doesn't fit the plan
No!”

“Don't annoy us further!
Oh, we have our work to do
Just think about the average
What use have they for you?
Another toy
That helped destroy
The elder race of man
Forget about your silly whim
It doesn't fit the plan!”
