A moment to kvetch about an old subject
Due purely to a fluke, I just discovered that Elton John and Billy Joel will be playing at Key Arena in November. Apparently tickets went on sale at the beginning of March. I was completely unaware. I just went over to ticket master to look for tickets. The cheapest tickets that are apparently still available are $179.00 per ticket.
The first time Billy and Elton toured, I didn't go because the tickets, again, were outrageously priced. I feel like if I don't see this show, there may not be another tour. And you have to understand: I LOVE these guys. Love. With a big, undying love. Part of it, of course, is that I'm a Long Island girl, and Billy is One of Us. Part of it is that Billy and Elton's songs were a big part of the soundtrack of my youth. And, ya know, Billy and Elton together? It's a piano man fan's wet dream.
$179.00 per ticket.
I see that one reseller has them at $125 per--way across at the other end of the arena. Were I employed, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
Even at that price I simply can't justify it in any way right now.
