Ok. I go to the Indian Casino earlier today (Pechanga) to screw around for a while. I see a poster advertising Sammy & The Wabos & also The Other Half with Michael Anthony. August 2nd. Ticket prices are: $100, $85, & $75!
WTF! What happened to $18 concerts? I don't think Sammy sets these prices. I'm sure they are paid a flat fee to perform, & the casino charges whatever they think they should.
I know casinos comp most of the tickets anyways to get the gamblers in. I've gotten free tickets for quite a few shows that way. I get offers for free shows all the time, but only go if it's someone I like.
But this isn't a thread about Sammy. I want to know why concerts are so damn expensive. I heard Madonna was charging near $200 for a ticket. Paul McCartney about the same.
My favorite story about prices. In high school on a Friday, my friend & I decided we wanted to see Crue that night. $17.50 or so. We had no money. We mooched all day "Got .50 I can borrow for a soda?" End of the day we both had enough for 2 tickets, gas & some beers. I guess those days are long gone now.
