If you look at the whole show as a business there are a hell of a lot of expenses before the guy gets his share of the profit.

Favourite Elvis track is Motel Matches.
I agree.Just noticed that Elvis was playing Buxton Opera House in September and had a look for tickets as he would be good in a smaller venue. Unfortunately, a seat in the stalls was £109 through their box office.
I think he's a superb artist but I'd only pay that if he was playing in my lounge and I could invite friends.
Think I'll settle for The Men They Couldn't Hang at Gorilla in May. Less than £25.
When did it become a thing that to see well-known artists costs that much or am I just getting old?
I love the Opera House, it's a lovely little venue. I'm always up there, I was there only last night actually.
I won't pay that much either. It's the artist who dictates the price though, don't blame the venue, and these tickets range from £55.50 to £109.00.
He's ripping off his fans.

some **** from the local council got it pulled because of their name.
nearly 1000 tickets sold, refunds offered but most people kept them as souvenirs.

Went to that at the Apollo .I think it cost me about 75p to go to 'Stiff's Live Stiffs', when Elvis Costello was at his absolute best with the Attractions, as were Ian Dury, Wreckless Eric etc.
The world has gone f*ckin mad.

Bargain in today's usual rip off society.
As an aside, I had a long chat with Nick Cave and Marc Almond when I was standing with them at a Cabaret Volltaire gig in St Albans in the 80s. (Tickets were probably about £4).
Nice bloke Nick Cave. He's about 7ft tall, so you get a sore neck talking to him.
