But on to a more general point--the audience was great last night and loved every minute of it. But the audience was LESS THAN HALF of capacity--I've never been to a seated event with so many empty seats. This highlights the Live Nation issue to a much greater extent than outrageously priced SRO shows. If you're selling the place out, it can be argued that you're not greedy, it's just economics. But when you don't lower prices to fill unused seats, you're just a pig. Keep in mind, this is not some unknown act or inexperienced promoter

Would loved to have gone. Love both of those musicians. $35 for lawn seat to me is NOT bad pricing seeing at Greatwoods about 15 years ago I was paying $120 face value for Jimmy Buffet lawn seats.
Only reason we couldn't go was my wife is a teacher and had to be at work first thing in the AM.
