If I want to avoid using binoculars, gotta shell out the big bucks.

I was talking to a co-worker this morning about Neil's upcoming Palace Theatre date in Albany, NY.. According to him tickets are running in the neighborhood of $150. I think not.

[GregK]

some people on the Hoffman forum think those ticket prices are perfectly ok. I don't get it. I think they are overpriced. Anything over $50 is overpriced, I don't care who it is.

[clifford_thornton]

Yeah, for decent to good seats it's up to $200 in Austin. Unbelievable.

[Quincy]

He's been charging hefty prices for several years now, in fact he was something of a pioneer with the CSN&Y reunions. I'm glad I got to see him a bunch in the '80s for around $15 (or less than $50 in today's dollars.) I can't remember where I read it but I recall an Onion-like jokey article about fans taking out 2nd mortgages to see him in concert.

I guess 150 bucks might be a bargain compared to the upcoming Roger Waters "The Wall" tour. Tickets for the show in Toronto for example range from $175 - $712!!!

Wonder if he'll do 'Money' as an encore?
