Your 2006 Concert Calendar

[clifedge]

So I scored a 3rd row center ticket to see Beck today.

Except that I know I can't go because I have a business trip. Business trips get cancelled or changed a lot, though, and if not...well, gee, I'm feeling a little sick already *cough cough* and I may be too sick to travel by June.

And because Madonna is playing in Chicago a couple of days before Radiohead is rumored to be there, and I've all but booked the flight because I'm so convinced I'll get tickets (positive thinking, people, that's all I've got right now), I pulled up an unbelievable seat for Madonna just for the heck of it. It was like 5th row off the floor right by the stage, and I almost bought it until I noticed the price: $350. Is she insane? So much for going to see Madonna once in my life before I die "just for the heck of it." I doubt I'd pay that even if I was rich, just on principle.

Why don't you get one of the cheaper tickets to see Madonna?

Why don't you get one of the cheaper tickets to see Madonna?

The small percentage of cheap Madonna tix sell very quickly, the $350 seats linger on and will until showtime.

I guess I could've tried for a cheaper ticket but I figured a Madonna show is more visual than most shows where I go for the music. Plus I was just put off that the same seats that were $180 for U2 are $350 for Madonna and I just basically lost interest. But in fairness, she does offer more pricing options than I originally thought and in fact I think the lowers that are $95 (the ones on the other side of the arena across from the stage) are a fairer price than U2's. I sat there for one U2 show and hated those seats so much I couldn't believe I paid $180.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Anyway, I currently have no tickets to anything in my possession except for the Beck ticket I won't be able to use. But aside from Radiohead, I have no burning desire to see anyone who's touring although I'm still hoping the Beck thing will work out, and it would be nice if Wilco scheduled some dates out West but it's not looking good right now.
