It might be subjective but I would have never paid $500 for just a Concert Ticket no matter who was playing. Yes I have spent $1000 on a Weekend in New Orleans to see 3 Panic shows but that includes 3 nights, plane tickets, hotel rooms etc etc. Or I may have spent $1500 on the road over 2 weeks following the Dead around but never that much for one night. Consumers are to blame for the rise in concert ticket pricing. They agree to pay these exorbitant amounts. And those that have paid that much for a Dead or Phish ticket are just as stupid or more because they are paying the scalpers those fees. Face value pricing for Jam Band type shows have never gone that far out of reach. why did people give up everything to tour with the dead or phish for what amounts to 2.5 hours of entertainment? people have paid WAY more than that to see phish or the grateful dead. its all subjective..
