I would expect ticket prices like this for like Elton John or something, where the bulk of the audience are rich sods who only go to one concert a year. This isn't providing a cool experience for fans, it is taking advantage of their devotion. I mean, its a venue, how exciting can a backstage tour be? A forced meeting and photo session with a band notorious for their awkwardness? Meeting fans/signing albums should be something a band sets out to do anyway, especially at a special event gig like this. Exclusive, crowd free MERCHANDISE SHOPPING - what the hell?!
For a show going back to old fan favourites, this concert seems completely out of touch. Sure the limited gift bag sounds cool, but a special t-shirt and lithograph should be the type of things on general sale at a concert. Again fans without tons of cash to spare are excluded, when, to me, the whole point of a concert should be to include all fans in the experience. The thought that you won't be able to get the best seats without shelling out hundreds of dollars is so wrong. I can't help but think back to seeing weezer in Manchester, UK, getting there early and being in the front row. Staying after the concert and meeting the band, getting pictures and my blue album sleeve signed. The band spent a long time meeting ALL the fans who had waited after that show, spending a little time talking to each one.
Now they are charging hundreds of dollars for what used to be a normal part of the concert experience?

what's the relation between the two?
