I think I paid $10 for the tickets the first time I saw them. (Oct. 1975)
I broke down and bought a ticket for the Providence show. But I bought the cheapest seat available. It was a little over $60 with the fees. To me that's a reasonable price for a concert. If I can't be in the first two rows, there's no point in me being on the floor. I am 5'2" and would not be able to see. I will be about as far from the band as it is possible to be, but this arena (Providence Civic Center) has steeply sloping rows of seats in the balconies and I will have a nice view. I will bring my binoculars and should be able to see everything well, and the sound will be good from back there (as good as sound can be in these big arenas).
I hesitated to go at all, because I am not happy about all the pre-recorded tracks they're using. If I go to see a live band, I want the music to be live, for goodness' sake, even if that includes an occasional mistake. But I am extremely happy that Christine is back in the band, and the fact that I could get a ticket for such a reasonable price decided me.
