And if you factor in cost of raising kids, child care, transportation, insurance on $100,000 a year u will barely survive after paying federal and state taxes

Exactly what I was thinking as I was reading through the thread. Also, when BJ play in other countries, I don't even consider going to the shows. If they played in other countries repeatedly and never visited mine, I would obviously be willing to make a 'special' allowance for it and spend the sorts of money you mention to get that once in a lifetime experience - I wouldn't think about seeing them at multiple shows or on consecutive tours though.
