I love Fernando. However, one of the things that I have enjoyed about performances at the Savanah Center was its moderate pricing, making it possible to hear lots of entertainment without breaking the bank. We have a neighborhood group which goes very regularly and could almost be considered an unofficial Fernando fan club. When they heard that the upcoming Forte concert that Fernando is bringing to TV will have ticket prices starting north of $90 each, each and every one of them declined to get tickets.
Yes, upgrades in quality are nice, but if they become unaffordable, then they are of no value, and in fact degrade the quality of life here. If this becomes the norm, I suspect that it will become a huge failure.
