I haven't gone to a concert in ages, but when I find out about current tours one of two things generally happens. Either I just missed their local date or they are playing nowhere near the Bay Area which I usually find odd because there has to be fans here and there's no shortage of people who could afford the often offensive ticket prices.

On a related note, there was a video awhile back on the most expensive concert tours, not ticket prices but set up costs. According to Google AI now "The most expensive music tour setup was the U2 360° Tour, with a reported cost of up to $31 million per setup for its innovative "Claw" stage. Other expensive setups include Roger Waters' The Wall Live tour (around $10 million per setup) and Madonna's Sticky and Sweet Tour (around $2 million per show)."

when i had dinner with Rush on the Hold Your Fire tour, they were playing in a small arena in Binghamton NY, and I think the ticket was less than $50. And they fed me steak. Those were the days.

What an amazing experience that must have been! How on earth did you get to spend dinner with them?

Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson getting back out there playing Rush’s hits is a moment to celebrate. For many of us, this Rush reunion is a personal and emotional moment after Neil Peart’s death, but there’s also a limit to how much fans can afford. Judging by the current ticket prices, that limit has been reached.
