It's New York where everything is way overpriced compared to the rest of the US.

The tickets at the Hollywood Bowl are going for $300. so it is not only NY that is overpriced. It is the artists demanding more money than fans can afford. Pure greed. I guess they are not rich enough.

You have a legit bitch debby . No argument here about ticket prices! Ridiculous.

It is what it is. So we ticket buyers need to think about where he is playing and how our buck is best used. As I’ve written in other posts, the best place I want to see our Jeff is this size of venue, 6000 seats. $600/55 for a small venue? or one the size of a football field? $55 gives you better seating at a small venue than football size. You won’t have thousands of people screaming and messing around with, and impending the ale line (right H W?). And, I think we will be able to see Jeff just fine without a TV screen begging our attention. Cozier.

It’s brutal, those prices. I’m not happy either. What is going to be my choice?

debby , do you live in New York City? Or, are you hoping Jeff will come to your city?

I am live in NYC. Jeff played last November in a very small club called Irving Plaza, the tickets were $65. and it was sold out in minutes. I was lucky enough to get 2 tickets for my brother and I. It was pure magic, the small intimate setting and his performance. Unbelievable experience. We even saw him leave the venue and got to exchange a few words.

Not sure if many on the board frequent RCMH, but the venue isn't that large. I guess it's what you are used to. Nosebleed seats at Madison Square are 10x worse than the last row here. Even third mezz here is pretty good if you are in the first several rows.

Horacewimp: No not really, usually get some snow once or twice a year, plenty of nights with a frost though. Aug 29, 2024 20:53:29 GMT

eloneen: We've got nasty weather here in Central NC- rain, high winds, possibility of tornadoes until 6PM - nothing dangerous so far here. There are tens of millions of people affected by this storm. Stay safe! ::animated-smileys-hug-008:: Sept 27, 2024 14:34:21 GMT *

eloneen: Lots of devastation elsewhere in our state and across the Southeastern US

, but we're OK.

Horacewimp: Glad you are okay eloneen stay safe and I hope the situation improves soon. Sept 28, 2024 18:09:43 GMT

BIuebird: I'm so glad you're okay eloneen! I still have yet to hear from some of my friends in Georgia and Florida, I'm worried about them.

Sept 28, 2024 19:30:26 GMT

eloneen: Thanks Horacewimp and BIuebird. BIuebird Let's hope they're all safe. 🙏 Sept 28, 2024 23:51:56 GMT *

Eloise: Glad you're OK, eloneen! Oct 1, 2024 18:28:07 GMT

vlogdance: Thank heaven you're all OK, eloneen. These Helenes, nothing but trouble... Oct 2, 2024 10:36:39 GMT

eloneen: ::m1822::I know, right? Oct 2, 2024 17:25:31 GMT

BIuebird: Is anyone else enjoying a rare southern display of the northern lights tonight? So glad I got to see them this time, it was all cloudy skies in Delaware last time they were visible! Oct 11, 2024 0:09:18 GMT

Horacewimp: I’ve looked a few times in the U.K., but never seen them. The horrible light pollution from Birmingham centre doesn’t help. Oct 11, 2024 16:28:12 GMT

BIuebird: Aww, I'm sorry to hear that! Light pollution will certainly obscure it. We are fortunate to live in a more rural area where there isn't too much light pollution. Oct 11, 2024 17:07:03 GMT

BIuebird: It's a trade off, though, because the nearest grocery store is about a 20 minute drive away! We just got a new Target on Main Street, and everyone is so excited, you would think it was some earth-shattering event. m0168

unomusette: I'd love to experience them too but never been lucky even when others nearby have spotted them

Apparently it's quite hard to see them with the naked eye, you need to be looking through a camera or other type of lens? Oct 12, 2024 20:17:04 GMT

BIuebird: Yes, it's definitely easier to see it with a camera or your phone. We were lucky here in that it was bright enough for me to see the pinks with the naked eye, so I knew where to point my phone! Oct 12, 2024 20:56:31 GMT

billywol: Saw Carole King there some years ago. After that I swore never again. Unless you are minted you cant see a thing. Standing, expensive and rain- not for me. Just praying that more Uk dates are announced. Any rumours ? Oct 28, 2024 14:43:06 GMT

orioles70: Happy Thanksgiving forum friends. Have some turkey and pie even if you're not in the states. Nov 28, 2024 16:08:19 GMT

unomusette: Oooo, thanks! *helps self generously* Happy Thanksgiving everyone! ::animated-smileys-hug-008:: Nov 28, 2024 21:22:36 GMT

BIuebird: Happy Thanksgiving! =D Nov 29, 2024 3:53:14 GMT
