You've got to be kidding me

Concert ticket prices have been a joke for quite some time but this takes the biscuit. Tickets for Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck at the O2 start at a face value of 60 (+fees and shipping). Any reasonable seat would at least be 100, with top seats being 125. WHAT THE FUCK?
For the upcoming Eric Clapton/Stevie Winwood gig, tickets are between 60 and 90.

There are very few people I'd pay that much to see. I only paid £90 to see Tom Waits because I was pretty sure it was the only chance I'd ever get.

Steve Earle was only £26.

I'd have paid that much for TW, too because as you say, that would have been a once in a lifetime opportunity.

*nods*. It wasn't that much more last time he played at the Corn Exchange in Cambridge.
