I have no regrets whatsoever and am also going to see them at the Forum when they come back to L.A. It is certainly a lot of money for me, but this is the only band I would spend this much to see on multiple occasions. Hearing Christine sing Songbird live again was soooo worth it to me and dancing along to Little Lies and You Make Loving Fun was well worth the cost. The Chain also seemed full force again with Chris back on the stage.
There is something about seeing the five of them together again that that is so inspiring to me that I could not pass up this opportunity. When I see them on December 6th at the Forum it will be 35 years to the day that i first saw them perform at the same venue when I was a senior in high school. This band's music has been such a part of my life for over 35 years and I love seeing them today as much as I did as a teenager. How many things can you say that about in your life?
There also seems to be a real joy about the band's interactions this tour as they acknowledge what a special situation they are in. I'm happy to be tightening my belt in other areas to take advantage of this opportunity.

This is an awesome little story, I wish I could have seen them back then. Anyway, to answer the original posters question, if you like the band enough, you will not regret buying tickets. I saw them a few weeks ago and it was a great show. For me, I have to be on the floor at every concert I go to. So my tickets were expensive. Two tickets in the 8th row were $1000. After we saw them, we decided we wanted to see them again, so we got tickets for a show in March, better seats actually for about $200 less than the first show. So if you like the band enough, get tickets. I just saw Paul McCartney and I was in the 14th row on the floor and I wish that I had spent the money for better seats. Again all these great bands and musicians may be getting old and I'm sure it's not the same as seeing the show back when they were young, but I'm in my 20s and I'm a big music buff, but all my favorite musical artists are in their late 60s-early 70s, they could die or retire at any time so go take advantage of the opportunity if you feel like it's something you should cross off your bucket list.
