I would agree with you if we were talking about the first leg, but we're talking about markets that they've hit two, three, sometimes even four times.

I agree, which is why, as I said, I wouldn't pay to go to more than one show. Not only is it a waste of money, but it's a waste of time. Just pop a random bootleg into your stereo and you'll have saved a hundred bucks.
