$550 for a five star VIP in Charlotte. Fuck that!

[mrtgman]

What a fucking rip. Seriously who in thier right mind would drop $550 to see a concert? Even the mighty Van Halen. I can easily afford it but no fucking way would I spend that kind of jack on a concert. What a bummer. is this shaping up to be another cash grab? Guess I'll try my luck with ticket bastard or some scumbag scalper.

I said in another thread that if I spent that kind of cash on a concert, the band ought to request my autograph.

I'm sure it's worth the money.

Well, if you've got that kind of disposable income, you have at it. I don't blame you if that's the case.

But most of us don't and I'll be damned if I'm going to hit a credit card for it.

Nah, even if I did have that much disposable income, that $1,100 would pay for me and hubby to relax for 5 days on a cruise.

It's just more than I'm willing to pay for VIP. I'll be in a regular seat and be just fine.

I bought the 5 star in greensboro in 04. It was $350.00 and looking back on it, it was not worth the money. The soundcheck was ok, the backstage tour was not bad. The food you got was pretty decent. But the shirt, hat and laminate were pretty cheesy. All it amounts to is a way to milk more money out of die hard fans.

I will be just fine with seats anywhere in the building.

No way am I spending that kind of cash to contribute to their grab.

It was Sammy, man. It wasn't worth ten cents.

5-star for the Philly show is $695. I was actually gonna do it but I just won 3RD FUCKING ROW from a radio station. WMGK!!!!!!!

I think they should call it "The rehab aint cheap tour."

I've already decided, I'm forkin' over the $550. I wanted the wife to attend and some friends as well, but at that price, I'll be going solo. Oh well, I've dropped more on less before, and this is a show that I simply must see. I've never seen Van Halen (and when I say Van Halen I mean DLR on vocals).

I've always thought... One day, Dave will be on stage with Eddie. I will be there, front row.

If they announce more tour dates, and Atlanta is on the list, I'll sit in cheaps, but for opening night... I'm there. Damn the torpedos.

that's the spirit...

believe me , I wasnt there for Sammy. What an embarassment he has become. He was so fat and dressed like a clown. The show was terrible as Ed was blitzed out of his mind. I just went to see what I thought was their last hurrah.
