I, unfortunately, an an educated, employed woman who would never pay that much plus air fare for one show.

Please stop insulting female fans as if we are all uneducated and incapable women. Also please stop insulting all housewives. There are many housewives who are educated and choose to stay home because the cost of childcare is more than what would be lost staying home and being involved in your own children's upbringing.
Yeah I agree Becky. All this categorising, and derogatory commentary on the "housewives" that listen to the band makes me feel uncomfortable. It would be like saying ACDC fans are all middle-aged alcoholic men - it's an unfair, sexist generalisation. In 2016 this kind of prejudice should be well and truly behind us.
