Just curious why people don't blink an eye at these prices? Paul Anka is 80 years old
You can see the Beach Boys at the Strawberry fest in Plant City in March for $35
Air Supply & 38 Special have both been on the stage at Epcot

I remember seeing Paul Anka on Dick Clark’s American Band Stand. I have seen all the others in Concert years ago NO IM NOT PAYING THOSE PRICES.
Hope everyone going has a great time

Was in NY recently and paid 30 bucks to see a dozen littlenecks disappear right in front of me…..

I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in since BosoxFan the original poster is from my neck of the woods. I'm a fan of jazz and for about $70 for 2 people we could go to Sculler's Jazz Club in Boston. It's a small venue and you'd be sitting close to the musician(s). Want dinner thrown in it would be $190. I'll save my money for our next trip north. We all have different musical tastes none of the artists coming here interest me. Different strokes for different folks.

I am guessing the ticket price is based on simple math. The performer requires a guaranteed minimum, and the Sharon or Savanna are small venues (low number of people). This is why there are sometimes two showtimes on the same day.

I think it is okay to have "options" here. People right now are paying $350,000 or more extra for the same house as a year ago. You can see many high cost shows for $350K.

I don't see a mystery here.

Lexus/ Toyota same car.

Never been to The Sharon. Still waiting for some act that would appeal to me so I can get my first experience at that venue. Nothing since it opened.

We have been burnt twice by the Fifth Dimension (really one dimension and she couldn’t sing) and Gary Puckett. Therefore we will only go to the tribute bands. Terrific entertainment in the squares for free. It’s a free country, how others spend their money is none of my business.

There’s a sucker born ever minute. Some people aren’t willing to say NO

Exactly why I haven't been to a concert or musical in years. I'm way too cheap to pay those prices.

So if I pay $125 for a ticket to a show I want to see, then I'm a "sucker"????? In that case, considering what I spent on Valentine's Day 2 years ago for VIP seating and dinner to see Andrea Bocelli at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, I must be president of the suckers club

But, for anyone who doesn't want to pay the price that the market demands, there's free music at the squares.

It's you rich fat cats from the New England states that come down here and drive-up prices,
then complain about their taxes up there.

Hell Ya, come to Florida, land of cheap living.

They're also the same people that pay for overpriced services to the first people that come to their front door.

Wings? Not for those prices.
