There are plenty of artists who play big arena shows (Dave Matthews, Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are 3 that came to mind) who do NOT charge what Fleetwood Mac charges. I'm a huge fan, and I will always go to see them, and people, being people, have faults, and this is one of theirs. They say, on the one hand, that their fans matter so much to them, but then they charge huge amounts for tickets because they can. I will go to the concerts, and I'll love the concerts, but I will resent the price of the tickets and I will NOT respect them as people.
I believe it when Mick says that if they weren't friends, they couldn't tour together. But, that doesn't mean they aren't also in it for the money, or that they respect their fans.
