They probably figure that as it's Vegas and they are playing in a casino hotel that there's going to be plenty of cash around so why not charge a high price. It's hardly a location that the hardcore fans were going to flock to. It costs $250 to stay at the hotel for one night, it's hardly exploitation of the working man!

Do people really still get shocked by high ticket prices?

You had the same fit last year, Dan. The price for a floor ticket is $10 more than 2010.

Yeah - And the economy is worse this year than it was last. Plus, all of Jon's preaching about "looking into the reason" for the high prices.

$210 US is an insult. The exact same seat at the same arena 3 months ago, I paid $30 to see the Goo Goo Dolls.

It's not Vegas. It's a casino in Connecticut. That hotel charges $599 for a room on the weekends. No way in hell would I stay there.

I just assumed it was Vegas for some reason, my bad.

It's obviously gotten to the point that they sell enough tickets at high prices everwhere that they don't need go lower.

I'm just glad the tickets went on sale before the VAT increase in the UK.

The Goos are not Bon Jovi, not that it is an excuse to charge that price. That's why I am not going to Mohegan,

Don't like the prices.....don't go. That's the beauty of capitalism. Anyways lets be honest, anyone able to get a floor seat at a cheaper price woul djust sell it on ebay for big bucks and guess what? People would pay the nig bucks like they always do.

135 US$ equal 90 Euro. Normal ticket price.

Don't like it? Don't go.
