I hear ya Leurgy,these concert,in fact most event ticket prices are getting way out of hand. not to mention the concession stand prices. Fortunately I have a friend who has a recording studio in NYC. He takes us or sends us to a lot of shows. Saw Stones, U2 and Stewart in the last month. we went to a Yankees game on his $55./ a seat tix. Four of us, add to that a few beverages and some food. Plus tolls, parking and now I guess even 5 bucks for gas(I'm within 10 miles). Not going near a souvenir and you've spent =400 on a ballgame with your family. BTW I posted a pic or two of the Stones in the Photo forum...
Have a good day....
