 | 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.

 250 or 300 on those two shows, including transportation.

 | 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.
