Thanks Dui - I love Rush - saw 'em in back in '78 (for $ 10.50) and several times in the 80's but at $ 177 a ticket (before TicketSlave "service charges") I have to say - NO! I'd rather buy a good Rush box set (if available). Besides that $ 10.50 in 1978 is only $ 34 now - I can't stand bands going for the "Big Money" grab!That $ 177 would be $ 55 in 1978 - scalped tickets weren't that much.
Enjoy the show - I'll be listening to All The World's a Stage and saving some cash - no need for me to fund the Rush retirement fund!
