But on to a more general point--the audience was great last night and loved every minute of it. But the audience was LESS THAN HALF of capacity--I've never been to a seated event with so many empty seats. This highlights the Live Nation issue to a much greater extent than outrageously priced SRO shows. If you're selling the place out, it can be argued that you're not greedy, it's just economics. But when you don't lower prices to fill unused seats, you're just a pig. Keep in mind, this is not some unknown act or inexperienced promoter

1. Tickets were not affordable for mere mortals
..or..
2. That style of music is ( Not ) what the general public likes.

After watching the video, My money would be on the 2nd.

I think a combination of both. I love live music and would've gone to the show...if the prices were reasonable.

I have some friends of mine who have gone or will be going to some concerts later this year, it seems like some of the ticket prices have dropped to more acceptable prices. I haven't checked in a while, I stopped getting my hopes up.

Leaving aside that you personally don't like the music (which is completely irrelevant to the general point and the second time you've noted it), this is exactly my point. Less popular bands should have lower ticket prices, and they don't. Our friend Think should have been able to buy good tix behind the control panel for something in the range of $30

100% agree with that statement.

FWIW and probably apropos of nothing, I've not attended a live concert since around Y2K.

But I am not depriving myself of music: as an audiophile with very high quality stereo equipment and an extensive music library I listen to music in much higher fidelity than I'd be likely to find at a live venue.

To each their own.
