Yeah but I was making $8.50 an hour in high school.

What year was that ??

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

Those shows sold out too. I remember driving past the venue to see if there was any signs of VH showing up. Some flat bed trailers with the lighting trusses on them are parked behind the venue. They're here!

Early 80's. I worked in a ski shop.

These shows aren't for the kids. They are for old fucks like us who have salaries and shit.

The band has gotten older, but so have its fans. As the fans get older and richer, the prices go up. Supply and demand; it has little to do with the quality of today's show compared to 30 years ago.

I just checked ticketmaster to see what a youth oriented show sold for...for One Direction the "Steal my Girl" vip package was sold out...

from what I can see prices range from $44 for uppers to $250 excluding the Steal my girl vip...

So you are saying that a VH show is overpriced? Actual live music?

That was good money...

I made 3:35 and still managed to go to any show I wanted to see...

No, I'm saying that us old fucks complaining about ticket prices and trying to compare them to 1980-whatever is silly.

The fuckin' kids show you referenced doesn't disprove my point; those kids are just spending mommy and daddy's money anyhow. My old man never bought me concert tickets; today, parents are trying too hard to be their kid's friend.

It's just a different time. I've got more money than I did back then. If I think I'm gonna have $150 worth of a good time, then I'll go to the show (and I do).

2 Tampa tickets for sale - face value

Hi, I'm new here. I have 2 tickets for sale to the Tampa show, selling at face value $175 each but will consider nearest offer. I'm coming over from the UK. These tickets are to be collected at the Will Call box office on the day of the show, but through my livenation account, I can also transfer these tickets to someone else via an email transaction.

They are in section 7, Row K, Seats 17-18

Apologies if there is already a ticket sales thread that I may have missed.

You aren't going to the show, or you have extra tickets?

By the way, welcome to the site.
