              The usual.. Seats in the first 20 rows, soundcheck and some bullshit swag. Front row is $1000. Bring your wallet.

                A thousand bucks to stand in the front row. What, they gonna get a time machine and go back and get 1981 Dave and have him singing? Cause that's the only way it would be worth a grand.

                      Well, adjusting for inflation, 13 bucks then is about $35 now.

                      What has really changed is promoters have created a monopoly on the big shows...so being able to sit on the lawn for $50 or $60 really isn't too bad considering.

                      It is outrageous though, but people will pay that amount so really just meeting the market demand.

                      Before the promoters caught up to the scalpers it was pretty hard to get decent tickets anymore anyway buying the day they went on sale...its always been crooked, at least starting in the mid-1980's

                        I disagree slightly. Paying 50 dollars and not even getting a chair to sit in is ridiculous

                          I saw them in their prime and I don't even think the tickets cost $15. I think I saw VH general admission for $8.50 in 1980 if I remember right. No frisking. No cameras. You smuggled in your half pint, joints passed around, some dude was lighting off fire crackers, the girls flashed their titties at Dave. The good old days.

                            I have my 1984 stub somewhere...I think it was 18.75...including Ticketmaster fees.

                              Yeah but I was making $8.50 an hour in high school. What kids make now isn't much more than that but what they have to pay has risen. A VH show was an hour and a half of work. Today a kid has to work longer to get that $35. Ha! ha! glad I was a teenager in the 80's. These kids now are being screwed raw. I could leave campus for lunch and do a burnout past the school in a real muscle car. As long as I made it back for the bell all was well. Kids now can't leave campus and a burnout might get you arrested. Oh and now they have to take all this Common Core shit. Ha! ha! how's the government cock taste kiddies?
