[quote author=Bingo link=1256333998/100#102 date=1256913587]$2500 is that what they were selling tickets for?????
I think a few of the tickets are 'normally' priced. There were drops for tonight's show yesterday or the day before for about $150 or so, I believe.
As fantastic as these shows sound, the ticket prices turn my stomach. When did Rock & Roll become the exclusive property of the wealthy?

And what the hell was Tom Morello doing there? Raging against the machine? His guitar said "Arm the Homeless" and he's pointing it at people who can afford to pay $2500 to hear some rock & roll songs? And singing a Joe Strummer song to boot?

There are some mixed messages there, methinks.
When I saw Street Sweeper Social Club opening for Nine Inch Nails and Jane's Addiction, his guitar had the Shining Path logo.
