I'm sure you bought a cheap ticket. Where is your seat? How much was a seat halfway close to the stage? Probably 5 times that much.

Again with that? One is not a charity foundation, it's an organization for activism. Things have changed since the 80s.

Originally posted by deanallison:To put my view on the money making argument, I believe this tour was an idea the band liked the sound of first and foremost. Then with SOE maybe not being quite ready this was a great way to delay it without being quiet for another 12 months. Finally when the decision was made final then yes making the tour profitable would have been one of the priorities, why? Because touring is part of there job and one of the key parts of any job is making money. The band have put the work into rehearsing songs from the past and allowing the likes of myself to see at least 5 songs that I may never have seen otherwise. They've got huge screens and a cool stage design wit the tree that definitely wouldn't have come cheap as certainly will cut profit margins so whilst making money is part of it there giving us something back. I don't really care the reasons why though I'm just looking forward to seeing them play live and at a very reasonable price compared to most artists espcecially when you consider the tour costs in comparison to other artists.
Hey everyone, turns out #Bonnaroo is pretty fun. Who knew? @CrissyHaslam and I even met this band from Ireland. #stayhydrated #withwater pic.twitter.com/ztPkyLEQkh
