I guess it depend on your definition of over priced is. I saw BNL, Gin Blossom, and Toad the Wet Sprocket last year for $35 each. Thought that was a great deal. Also Sting was $38 lawn seats too.
Just looks up Dave Mathew's Band this summer is $50, That's a lot less than I paid back when he was just becoming big name at GreatWoods back in the day.
If you go through second hand ticket places and don't buy direct you will pay a lot more!!
My friend just 2 weeks ago showed me Bend Folds 5 tickets at Lowell Memorial for $200, I went directly to the Lowell Memorial site and the tickets were $40-90 max.
Buy direct and save some money.
But I do remember seeing shows for $10-15 back in college at Atlas and Axis and Some of the other Boston venues watching bands before they moved to the big venues. Those days are long gone.
