$695 for 5 star at ACC------ W.T.F.!!!???

Elly said it best.. "if I spent that kind of cash on a concert, the band ought to request my autograph"!!!!!!!

That's a freakin vacation.. not an evening with a rock band.

That pisses me off... but dammit, I'm still buying tickets (in nose bleed seats).

Yep, they sold out in minutes. In Detroit, the 5 Star packages sold out in less than a minute!

Holy shit!!

Just heard on Q107(Toronto) that there is going to be a price adjustment on ticket prices for the VH show that is to the benefit of the fans.
More info to come later on...........

Sure does make me nostalgic for the good old days: When I was 17 in 1980, we went to see them on the Invasion tour. Paid about ten bucks for General Admission and got the front row. I still got the pick Ed threw me.

The VH concert I missed (but bought the ticket and still have it) was in 1983 for the Cow Palace in San Francisco and the legendary Bill Graham was the promoter......going rate for General Admin $11.00 !

LOL - that might make you enough cash to see the other half.

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.

An update... I clicked on 5 star at exactly 5 o'clock. Got the order form. Entered my credit card number. Hit buy ticket. Yes I'm sure. Error message "we're sorry this show just sold out".

DamnIt. Got the 5 Star for the Oct 16 Chicago show instead. 695 instead of 550 and I'll be jettin there. It's all good though. It's not what you make, it's what you spend!!!

I agree. I think for most people in the Van Halen demographic (30-40ish) it's a little steep. Especially if you have young kids.

I happen to be in what I call the "D.I.N.K." (Duel Income No Kids) phase of life so $500 is not a lot of money to spend on a once in a lifetime Van Halen experience.

Bullethead, that's awesome! I hope you have a GREAT time.

I've known married women who've racked up thousands of credit card debt following Duran Duran around over the passed 3 years or so. Happily married women with children at home who were jetting out all over the country to the tune of a VIP ticket starting in the $300's. One lady says that she's now $20K in debt because of it. Needless to say they're not all happily married or have custody of their kids anymore.

Not this chicky. If I ain't got it in my hand, I'm not buying; and then if it leaves my hand penniless, I'm not buying.

I wanna see this show, but at a price I can live with. I've got college to pay for coming up in less than a year.

The VIP package thing has GOT to be one of the dumbest things ever invented. Why separate the attending crowd into upper and lower class?

Let 'em mingle.

Besides, the ones who usually get those are some unmusical, wealthy scumbags (like record company people, Paris Hilton, etc) who go just 'cause they can.

Cunts.
