Following on from Matt (Refund)'s thread...
I spent $250 on a Tool ticket on their first lateralus tour here for a show in Melbourne; scalper was a fucking pain in the ass but I didn't care.
Was worth every cent.

Heh, yeah, on that same tool tour I had friends that went to up to 5 shows (although they bootlegged them all, which made it worth it even more). Think they spent over a grand and a half up each, including transportation/etc. Crazy.
What even irritated them further is people would take their freely downloadable bootlegs, burn them onto CD, make some crappy artwork then try and slog them off. Not only have they seen them on ebay, but they've seen unofficial bootlegs sold in shops for insane prices, and its definitely their recordings.
What you get, I guess.

NIN or Radiohead. it would be Bjork but i'm seeing her for free.
concert tickets shouldn't be over $30; a lot of stage stuff is truly excessive/bloated (look at U2). artists should concentrate on the performance aspect, and if that means trimming the budget, that's probably a good thing.
ticketmaster also needs to stop fucking people over! damn monopolies..

heres an e-mail I snet recycle after the concert
the concert was pretty rad, they played a lot more loud and lively than what
you hear on their albums, they had 4 guitarists, a drummer a keyboarder and
2 guys on synth equipment, and no one guy was ever sitting around doing
nothing for long, so it sounded pretty full, heap of improvisation and
stuff, almost wish my minidisc hadn't broken down all those months back, or
I would have recorded it, had a great night though, went with two friends
and hired out a hotel room for the night, got completely plasterd after the
concert, and stayed up listening to some old elctro jazz cd's I bought that
day,.., but somehow avoided a hangover,
it was fucking great!!!!!!!!!!

I paid $60 or $70 to see Tool a few years ago. I loved it at the time, they were my favorite band. I've sorta grown out of them since, but it was still an enjoyable show.
