| These high ticket prices...that's just the way it is these days. Not just with VH ~ but with damn near every big act that hits the road. You want a seat up front...you're going to pay for it. Simple as that. |

Fortunately TSO has managed to keep prices in check. Only two bucks more this year than last. ($45 last year, $47 this year) ...and that's for the most expensive seats! |

I got 5 star tickets for Sheryl Crow, which were only like $125 a piece, I got to watch the soundcheck, gave her a hug, got a picture taken on stage with her (her ass touched my hand :D ) & free beer & food & goodies & I sat in the 5th row. The extra money for ILAA went to charity, not to a cocaine habit... |

Lets see, the band is getting a million bucks a night to perform and you want to get up there and perform for a measley $400 bucks? |

I wasn't necessarily referring to ILAA tickets - just tickets in general. |

| I was thinking about travelling over from Scotland to see this tour and wanted 5 star tickets but fuck that at $750. $400 i paid 3 times in 2004 and i considered that to be reasonable for what you got but it seems to be they are giving you nothing for your money on this tour. Let's hope the tour does not implode and makes it to other countries. |

| 4 Stars for the 3 NYC area shows are $500, 5 stars are $1,000. I knew they would be higher than most, but that's big balls. |

They sold well. It's obvious that the $1,000 price tag didn't have much impact, as they are all sold out. |

It is amazing that people were willing to pay this much when you got more - for less $ in '04.
I wouldn't pay it. But I guess others would by the way they sold for those prices/ |

I live in Australia and if the boys come here I,ll be paying $700 what ever to do full package.( friend,s of mine will do the same).It,s a once in a life time experience back stage tour etc, etc.I know when MOTLEY CRUE did there package they use to give away Nikki Sixx,s broken bass from night before to fans, drum stick,s and other goodies they did,nt list when package was sold..
Hope VH for the money people are paying let them into soundcheck or backstage to meet band... :confused: :dance: :D |
