Hello, I just decided to go to Memphis this past weekend. I kept looking at tickets and front row was $1500. I checked again the morning of the show and it was down to $270 so I scored a front row ticket! She put on a great show in my opinion. I was too tired of the set list, but she took me away to another place like I always remembered.

Morning-of-the-show scores occurred a lot during the 2003 tour, too. I had some friends who didn’t care whether they attended the Anaheim show or not, but just for kicks they checked Ticketmaster that morning and snagged two front-row seats! They actually said to each other, “Are we really in the mood to fight the traffic?”

Glad you enjoyed.

We have to remember she is 75.

Wow that is incredible! A front row ticket reduced BY THAT MUCH!

How was Stevie's mobility? Did she walk the stage during Edge of Seventeen (not shake hands). Any twirls throughout the show?

She did not move a lot, mostly just occasional circles around her mic stand. She did do the crack dance right in front of me, but held her back on the way back to her mic! Some twirls but very slow. It is what I expected to see.

No Edge of Seventeen walk.

Just as long as there's bucket kicking involved...

She has not done that for about 15 years. Was not the TISRL tour the last time for that?
She physically cant do it anymore and these days they keep the fans so much further from the stage.

When she stopped shaking hands in 2012, she would still walk from one side of the stage to the other to wave at the side sections and the floor. I don’t think she has done that since the tour started in March!

That's more than a flight ticket to US if I wanted to go to a Stevie concert.

I don't remember how much the ticket was of the 1997 The Dance show I went (NYC), but looking for old prices, I found a page with U2 shows ticket prices: The 1987 Joshua Tree tour ticket prices comes out to $17.11 on average.
In 2001 $65.83 on average.
2017: average of $116.97. The minimum price of a general admission ticket on the tour was $70.
2018: average of $136.40 per ticket with the minimum face-value cost being $80.50.

I know first row seats cost far more than those numbers, but I don't think mid arena seats cost thousands of dollars.

My Dance ticket was $90, and not for a good seat. Halfway back, but at least not a lawn seat(Deer Creek ampitheater in Indy). The most I'd ever paid until that point in life. Paid $350 when Christine came out of retirement, for maybe 14th ish row seats, at Conseco in Indy.

The Eagles just announced a stop at this same venue. I wanted to compare and see if the Eagles had the same ticket prices or higher. Tickets are far more expensive for the Eagles Farewell tour than Stevie's rehashed 24k Gold tour (minus the good songs). A ticket mid arena was about $1100 for Stevie and its $1800 for the Eagles.
Even if you could afford a ticket and wanted to go, is there not a better use of $1800 than a concert you can watch on youtube? That's some people's mortgage payment or rent. These are not for great seats. They are mid-arena. The cheapest Eagles ticket I saw was $800. Stevie's was $350 at the last row on the top of the arena.

I just got laid off after 12 years and this just sickens me. Absolutely makes me sick.

$1800 for the Eagles is an absolute joke. Scaled down repetitive setlist, no Glenn, and seriously degraded vocals. Ain’t NO FREAKIN WAY! I love them but I’ve seen them plenty of times and can spend that cash on a lot of better things. And I’m not a buy them last second sort of guy. I’m very tall and like an aisle seat with extra leg room. Those prices are shameful.
