If I'm in the first 10 rows on the floor at the Palace, I can deal with that price, but that really limits me to one show instead of two. It will still be awesome!!

That's about what I was expecting.

I can safely say that if Rush tours with an orchestra, you would not be able to GIVE tickets away.

Same as it has been for the past several tours.

Best value I ever had at a Rush show was back in 2007 on the S&A Tour.

 

$80 TOTAL - 10th Row Centre on the Floor (in London, Ontario).

Ticket prices haven't been released yet for my "Local" show at The Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the Arena's still under construction for Geddy's sake!

With top price at the Prudential Center in NJ $170, I'm fully expecting it to be $200 plus a pop.

However, a Rush show, fifteen minutes on the subway from my front door is pretty much priceless!

Yeah, theat's pretty much what I'm expecting as well.

 

I'm excited that Rush will be the first band I see play live there.

 

It's going to be amazing!

 

~Peace, Love, Rush

I just picked up a back issue of Circus magazine from 1989 on eBay. I'm going to post more about it later - because Rush is in it! - but the relevancy to this thread... in the letters page, there's this:

 

QUOTE

An average concert nowadays costs around $40 [per person]. That just includes the ticket and a concert shirt. Where I live, the closest place to attend a concert is around 40 miles away, so I have to figure gas and food costs. Add all that together, and I figure I'm paying around an additional $15. That's a lot of money.

 

There was more filler in the letter, but the response from the editors was hysterical. They blamed the high prices on the high insurance rates that bands have to pay because of vandalism! LMAO

 

So, yeah. 1989. $40 for a ticket and a shirt. Today, it's $40 for just the shirt!

[Ya_Big_Tree]

Ya I expect to get hosed. I always go this tour won't be any different.

[fonzbear2000]

This is super messed up! Cheapest ticket prices for the Minnesota show are $44 and for the Seattle show, they are $126! Why on earth is there such a huge difference?!?!?!
