Eagles STM + Stones + Ticketmaster = JOKE

I might pay that for good seats for a beloved artist in an arena. But no way for a stadium. If it rains it sucks.

Generally that's true. But one of the most amazing shows I've ever seen was Pink Floyd in the Miami Orange Bowl, 1987, in a torrential downpour. The light show cutting through that monsoon was epic beyond belief.

REMEMBER BACK IN THE DAY CONCERTS WERE $15.00 ? I CAN REMEMBER SEEING YES IN THEIR HEYDAY...2 TICKETS, ALL THREE SHOWS, IN THE ROUND AT THE SPECTRUM...FOR $90.00 TOTAL.

Remember camping out in mall parking lots for concert tickets? Some of the greatest parties ever. All night long, and everybody agreed on the music.

Yep. My favorites were the Genesis and Floyd tailgates. Had to be over a thousand people at each of those. Some of my favorite memories from the 80s.

What a great time to be alive that was.

Shows were so much cheaper back then it didn't matter too much if the weather sucked. Also getting tickets was more of a fair deal than it is nowadays. Ticket availability was still rigged, though.

Yeah, when you're 16, got a good buzz on, and you're into the thing for fifteen bucks, as long as it wasn't raining fire, all was well.

I still have an unused ticket to the Stones’ opening show at JFK in 1981. My buddy had bought a number of tickets (on Ticketmaster!) before the show, and he still had seven to scalp when we got down there. I agreed to buy another one and try to scalp it. Tickets were going for three dollars and there were still guys holding stacks of tickets desperately trying to get anything for them. As we were walking around with Thorogood playing, a gate opened up right in front of us and we said fuck it we’re going in.

I heard that when school let out and the college and high school students got the wordthat cheap tickets were available they came down to the stadium and saw the Stones for three dollars.

Same thing happens with Eagles tickets.

If you are willing to wait until the final minutes and will take what is available you can get a deal. At some point people want to cut their losses.

Made that show! I think Mick was a grandfather already, no? ����

He was 38. I remember thinking he looked old as hell.
