British Invasion of Saratoga!

I'm sure the $250 ticket price is a big hit.

On the Price Chopper issue......just another example of the needs of the less fortunate being ignored in this country. Then again, Saratoga did just elect a Republican mayor, though I doubt you can pin this act of greed on him. It would be nice, however, if some reasonable alternative could be worked out. Somehow, though, I doubt it.

For a band that hasn't done any new material in years

I'll just listen to thier old CD's and use my money elsewhere.

Was the Church Street Price Chopper the official supermarket of the poor?

It's not that as much as it is the only market that is accessable for people without cars.

If I had to choose, I'd rather pay that to see Elvis than this reincarnation of the Police

Agreed.

Of course, I would rather do just about anything rather than see Sting or the Police.

ok..I'll edit and take further..I would pay $250 NOT to sit through a Police show today

I never liked the Police.

I paid $250 face to see the Who do Tommy at Radio City Music Hall back in the late 80s. But, it was a benefit, so I felt all warm and fuzzy inside.

Not that it's not now, but $250 in the late '80s was a hunk of coin

Saw the Who many times from '81 on...indoors, outdoors...Roger always delivered..sometimes Pete was up to it, sometimes the guitars off stage carried them

Kids Are Alight still a great DVD to pull out every so often

I'd pay $500 to see Joy Division.

Had a chance in '83, $50 tickets.....passed!

I paid $250 apiece for McCartney tickets for the Driving USA Tour and The US Tour.

Well worth it.

I wouldn't, but that is just personal preference, but I think McCartney is still relevant and does enough of the Beatles stuff...right?..that it's a great show.

I'd pay $250 to see Led Zep reunion, Pearl Jam-Who combo ( if they do that again) and that may be about it

Yes he does.

I'd like to see The Who...Led Zep, Peal Jam not so much.
