I don't know how I can add anything that hasn't already been said, but that I agree with you that these ticket prices are just 'out of control'.

I'm still kicking myself that I spent over $1600 for 2 tickets in September 2008! Yes, I enjoyed every minute of it, sitting on the front row, but guilt over that still creeps in every once in a while. Not even a M & G was included with even one member! Yes, I saved up for 2 years especially for that 'experience'. But when it was actually time to buy, I hesitated, feeling that twinge of guilt over spending money that could/should go for something else. So, for me, it was once in a lifetime experience. I'll never forget it, but wish that I would have played the game like Soda does so often and comes up with very good seats. But even those tickets are too high for me now. I won't do it again. The Eagles have gotten their share of my money. As much as I love their music, I'll be going to see some other bands that I've always wanted to see next time and it may be from nosebleed if their prices are jacked up, too.
