I think he'll be entertaining ME forever, thank you very much.

And 'tigrs99' - I say it depends on who the artist is. The bigger you are, the more you can justify the ticket prices. You wouldn't have a huge band getting only a $100 for a ticket. You can charge a lot more depending on how popular you are.

By that yardstick Stones should charge $5000 for VIP tkt
and $2000 for regular tkt since their market value is 3 times @bonjovi
In US several venue u could get pit tkts for bon jovi for $120
and there were lots of free upgrades both at UK and US shows
Very few VIP packages were sold in US and u could get best tkts on the day of the show

Well i'll just laugh if i buy my ticket for a 100 buks and get upgraded to the pit.

Actually i'll laugh my head off.To the person that thinks 300 buks for a seat is good value, Obviously your iq is lower than your age.

very similar to my experiences!
first time was in 1997 on the destination anywhere tour, i was 9.

then universal appeal in 2001, i was 13.

i cant really count rumba because of how horrible it was. really one of the worst days of my life having to sit through so much shit.

2008 i ended up with 7th row. totally work the $299.

this year i thought stuff it, id rather have good seat to one show and crap seats to another, then just have great seats to one, so i got platnium for melbourne, and silver for sydney.

yes rumba was a shocker. got there at 6am. gates opened 11am. stood there for about 10 hours through all these shit acts just for bon jovi to come on. but it was so worth the hours being there in front row in front of richie i lost my mind!! you're lucky to be attending two. i'll definitely go a second time if they announce more melbourne shows, doubt they will though!

Nice with the insult there. If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all.

yeah that could be used for a pre-sale for the Melbourne show but I think it will be different for Sydney since tickets for that show are being sold through ticketek, not ticketmaster. Will give it a try though. I remember last tour's password was 'Lost', so they are usually pretty simple lol
