Thumbs down Price of Ticket's

WOW!
My wife has been hinting around that she wanted George Micheal concert tickets for her b-day.Well to make this short, i feel like i have just been treated like one of George's love slaves by ticketmaster..The tickets went on sale at 10:00am today, so like the wounderful husband that i am i was on line waiting for them to go on sale. "I cant believe the darn prices of tickets now-a-days" It cost $315! "FOR TICKETS!" The tickets where $121ea puls $20 for parking and all sorts of taxes and fees...

It's 11:09am and i think its time for the glass of Knob Creek..

I know Ticket prices are INSANE... It's a good thing you don't live in vegas... Their double & Triple that price..

When I lived in vegas I was grateful to have a friend who is a Big Band Promoter and we would get in for free... instead of paying $300 + for tickets

That is crazy about all the fees, but I can't believe George Michael tickets were $121.....??It's been so long ago, I almost forgot about him. But then again, I LOVE AARON TIPPIN, and he's not so popular either, but I didn't pay near that price. But YES, YOU ARE A GOOD HUSBAND!!!! Hope yall have fun at the concert!

My wife likes concerts..wants to see trace adkins one day..We both like nascar..so we try to go its usually a all day event @$120 per seat But its worth it just to get out walk around at the track..We save all year for it..as long as the prices dont keep going up we will go ..But the USA is looking like more and more its the rich that will survive..the middle class and under is sinking FAST..with the cost of gas and food
