I like Aerosmith but they are charging too much.

By contrast you can go to the touring concert this year of Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Joan Jett, and Poison all in the same show....and for less than what it costs to see Aerosmith.    I'm going to that one  !

I have to agree that Aerosmith is great but they are quite a little pricey to see, considering that they are already bit old and not as good as before. I get it, it's their name you're paying for but I hope they can be more considerate for their fans. To buy a ticket, I think I would first have to win a casino bonus to buy one for the show.

 I will never understand the obsession to go to a concert when all they do is play music you can hear on the radio or cd. Overpriced tickets with outrageous "fees", paying for overpriced parking, fighting the crowds, having to stand because everyone else is standing, listening to ear drum breaking music.  When it is over having to struggle to leave the venue, find your car and then get stuck in traffic - all for the right to brag and say that you saw some group in concert. I know that people have the right to spend their money and time however they want - but I don't get it. 

I agree.  I will never ever again attend a concert in the Grand Garden Arena, I don't care who is playing.  We thought we would be trapped forever in the 'tunnel' leaving afterwards. 

I also hate, hate, hate the people standing in front of me...I want to watch and listen sitting down.  I walked out of a comped Barry Manilow concert due to that very reason.  We had like 3rd row seats, but when I saw the 'standers/screamers' coming in to sit in front of us, I asked to be moved.  The usher said "let's wait and see what happens."  We left.  Hated missing the concert, but too old to appreciate the standing and screaming all night and the failure of the usher to move us.  

Now, some concerts don't attract the standers/screamers, which can be kind of predictable as to the performer.  And it didn't used to be this way so much.  I'm thankful for the shows I did see, but can't think of any I'll regret missing from now on.   Yes, generation gap is a factor.

 Generation gap?  Today's generation has no respect for others - it is all about them. Standing, shouting,and dancing around while spilling drinks. Their behavior is the reason I no longer go to any sporting events. I can sit at home, drink whatever without paying an arm and a leg for drinks and food, no insane parking fees. 

And see everything better on TV.   Bathroom breaks...no dirty toilets, no standing in line, don't miss much.

Instant replay...who doesn't love it?

NASCAR.  I get why some folks love being there.  We went twice.  Hours of vroom vroom right in front of us; excellent seats but no view of the pits.  And golf.  On TV you see everything; multiple times for the exciting moments.

Most things like that are worth doing once, if you can.   Then you appreciate it on TV, instant replay et. al.

I don't complain about the "generation gap," since humanity has been doing that since Og and Thak sat around the campfire complaining about those newfangled rocks the kids were using (and what's up with that "fire" stuff?). 

It's a matter of social mores. The kind of concerts I go to, people sit and listen and don't move around while the music is playing. But the concerts I go to are more along the lines of Gordon Lightfoot or the Portland Symphony Orchestra. I realize that at a rock concert, the rules are different. There's nothing more futile or frustrating than complaining about behavior that is, despite the fact that it annoys you, pretty much universally accepted.

I guess what we have to realize is that a rock concert isn't about the music. It's about the mass energy, the frenzied crowd reaction, the sensory overload. So what's a negative experience for us is pretty much the whole point for those young whippersnappers. And yeah, you want to actually hear the mofo in question's music, you're much better served buying the CD and listening to it in the comfort of your home.

I don't get heatburn about the young folks standing at a game or concert.............that's what 20 year olds do for God's sake!

My favorite event that fits me at 63 years of age is an Indianapolis Indians baseball game.  A great Indy Triple A minor league game seat costs $18.  Parking costs $10. The talent is very close to MLB talent and 10 guys on the field will soon be in the "Bigs".   I can leave my seat and be home in 30 minutes.  It's a wonderful view and experience.  And we tend to have great teams.  Why?   Because we're the AAA team for the Pittsburgh PIrates.  They trade their best expensive major league talent for young studs who come to Indianapolis.

I'm looking forward to splurging with 3 others (minumum 4 required) for the new upper deck suite behind home plate.  The joint has plush couches and chairs, free beer and wine for 9 innings, plus a great 9 inning buffet.  All for $85 per person.

Go Tribe!

I've always liked minor league games because the stadiums are smaller and you're closer to the action. And as you say, the talent level is almost as good as major league. Often, there's a pretty devoted fan base, especially if the city is so small that it doesn't have any other professional sports teams.

The suite thing sounds like fun. I'm sure that something comparable at an MLB game would be more like $500 per person. MLB kind of lost me when I had to pay $25 just to park my car (and I think it's $35 now).

The Reno Aces offer a great experience, two blocks from the downtown casino area. You can fold a game or two into a great casino weekend. Beats the hell out of Vegas, especially in the summer.
