Ahh, I see where you're coming from. Yeah, ticket prices have gotten fucking outrageous. It seemed to happen in just the last 10 years or so. Back when I was seeing the Grateful Dead tickets would be like $20 and we'd go three nights in a row. Hell, when I saw Pink Floyd in '95 we had 13th row and tickets were only like $30. Now decent seats for the neighbor kids garage band are like $100.

Fortunately a lot of bands are now putting out soundboard recordings of concerts that you can download off the internet. The sound is awesome and even though they cost $15 or so it's better than a $75 ticket and at least you have something to keep.
