With all the theories and guesswork before the press conference, I was incredibly disappointed at the lack of venues in the UK, and when I saw that the prices were showing at £125 for the cheapest seat, I just got cross!
Germany seems to be covered reasonably well. Two venues within 1:40h car travel (normal traffic conditions, obviously) seems fair. From what I've gathered they only chose the really big venues that cope well with that kind of audience - and maybe they also took a look at the accoustic feature of the sites. Thinking back at the U2 concert I attended not every "arena" is as good as the next for concerts.
Reasonable pricing is relative. But all concert venues had stacked prices range of 65-70 Euro cheapest up to 95-104 Euro for the most expensive. So it is on the higher end of prices (over here) for top concerts, but not exotic. Obviously no comparison to 125 quid. Even allowing for actual buying-power of Pound to Euro of 1:1 (pessimistic estimation) that would be almost twice the price? I think that would annoy me somewhat. :-)
I've just seen that ticket sales officially start selling from 24th of November for the two (in DE 8!) concerts in the UK. Maybe the outrageous prices won't happen after all? Well, one can hope. :-)
