Concerts SUCK! My WIFE'S comment not mine. Just last June.... To see her Billy Currington, we paid $160 for Pit seats. She even got his autograph. Just one year later, he's coming to St Augustine again. The SAME tickets we paid $160 are now $399 A PIECE???? And that is before our GOOD FRIENDS at Ticketmaster toss in their BS. "Cheap" seats are approaching $200.https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1152327,1152327#msg-1152327Fri, 04 Sep 2026 17:00:17 -0400 Phorum 5.2.18 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1152327,1152413#msg-1152413 Jimmy Buffet concerts became a REAL "Stupid Fest".https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1152327,1152413#msg-1152413 Ramgator Bucky's PubTue, 28 Jan 2025 15:20:19 -0500 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1152327,1152400#msg-1152400 It's not just the cost for me...https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1152327,1152400#msg-1152400

Other than that... I do not as a rule attend concerts these days. Yup, cost, but also I'm old and hate the hassle. :laughing Just a year ago I stumbled on an amazing find, which I think I posted about. MEGA-smooth Jazz stars were having concerts at a local venue for VERY cheap $. The catch was: It was NOT with their full bands. The two I went too had only the star and one or two others. Pretty much solo. It was WORTH IT. Small venue, near Yosemite.... wine, beer, nice meal, and an open air concert beneath the pines. $100 per ticket. OH, also a vintage trail ride, (about 4 miles round trip), to the venue.

For what it's worth.... 'solo' is great. Yes, I'd rather see them with their full bands BUT.... they are SOOOOO talented they will blow your mind. - JamesJM]]> JamesJM Bucky's PubMon, 27 Jan 2025 21:42:15 -0500 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1152327,1152331#msg-1152331 Re: Concerts SUCK!
