Fleetwood Mac cost £87 a ticket back in 2003 to see them at Earls Court in London. In the last couple of years I've seen a few shows and it varies a little. Mark Knopfler cost me £35 a ticket to be 2nd row at the Royal Albert Hall last year, £38 to see Jamiroquai. It cost me £40 to see Gorillaz, £40 to see Velvet Revolver,£45 to see Oasis and later this year I'll be seeing both Eric Clapton and David Gilmour at the Royal Albert Hall at a cost of about £60 each.
I guess a "band" of high profile musicians costs more than seeing a single star backed by pro musicians. When you consider some groups such as Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles and the Rolling Stones have multiple stars and prima donnas with their various demands and entourages it will push the cost up. The Stones have a reason. The show is massive, the set is massive, the venues are huge and require a lot of security and stuff but Mac and the Eagles I think are just greedy, they are arena bands these days, pension collectors not stadium rockers.
