Okay, I'm the first to admit, I'm cheap. I've said it before, and I'll say it again but something clearly must be wrong with me because I think it's a shame that people even consider spending over $30 on a concert ticket.
I am floored to see that one ticket to Rod Stewart costs $125. Oh, but when you order them online there's a $3 Building Facility charge and $14.05 "convenience Charge" -whatever that is. Come on people! I like Rod. I remember, years ago, my best friend Lori was dating Paul and there was another girl named Sherri who hung around us and Lori would sing about the "big breasted lady with the dutch accent" who tried to change Paul's point of view. Rod was a big part of my teen years but, come on $143! Surely, I can't be the only one with this mentality? No?
I asked a co-worker today. She said, "well all the entertainers charge a lot." Okay then they're all money hungry capitalists. I know it cost a lot to put on a great show and they all want to be "entertainer of the year" but give me a break. What happened to being a performer for the thrill of the crowd? Aw....it makes me nut. I think they should be all ashamed of themselves. Aren't we in a recession? Isn't money suppose to be tight?
$143 is actually the lowest; the nosebled section of the Ford Center. That's just crazy to me.
