I've wondered since the start of this tour how many of these folks spending money on these $1,000+ ticket prices are actually fans of the band as opposed to wealthy people looking for a night out and willing to spend that kind of money to be as close as possible and almost flexing their muscles so to speak.

While I admittedly only know I'd say a handful of diehard fans somewhat "personally" (more than just reading what y'all post on this board), I don't think many of us would spend that kind of money on those tickets prices. Sure maybe as a one-time thing but not every show.

I understand your element of disgust over a $1300 ticket and I wouldn't support or try to give the band more of a reason to hike up ticket prices, I also try not to judge how people choose to spend their money. At the end of they day, I don't know people's salaries nor is it my business to know or judge how they choose to spend it. It just saddens me to occassionally read about those that truly don't have the money to spend on those ticket prices but buy them because they are too obsessed with the idea of being close to the band...and unfortunately, I have already read about a few of those instances.

I just hope the outrage from fans and the media picking up on it gives the band the message that the O2 was a dirty move.
