I was going to buy two tickets to Kansas, but $250 plus fees, that's terrible. I saw them in 1995 for $20 with the original singer Steve Walsh, however he retired in 2013. The new singer is good, but when they don't have the original singer it seems to lose some of the luster. Kansas could of sold out two shows at the Savannah Center with tickets for $40.
I went to Savannah Center last April and saw Mickey Thomas & Starship for $40 and he put on two sold-out shows. Obviously the rent and other fees at the Sharon as causing acts to charge more than they are worth. The late Eddie Money was $104 a the Sharon last April and he barely sold half the seats, the same night the Village People with the original singer put on two sold-out shows at Savannah at $40 a ticket. The Savannah holds 840 seats, so two shows is a payday of about $65,000 for acts playing there.
