Upcoming Guns N' Roses concert...

So the upcoming Guns and/or Roses concert... I just checked it's at BC Place (max capacity 54,000) and there are THOUSANDS of unsold tickets, at a minimum of $100 each. LOL! Honestly this kicks up a feeling of schadenfreude for me... to see another greedy band charging $100+ to see a washed up lead singer who has reportedly lost his voice to the ravages of age. GNR's music is also so outplayed and boring... how many times have you heard Welcome To The Jungle at a sports game or in a movie? Every time a GNR song comes on during a movie I cringe. This makes me happy to see them having this tour potentially blow up in their face. The balls it takes to try to play BC place and charge $100+... in this era of Ticketmaster's rapacious practices, it brings me great joy to see this tour failing.

I had the hugest crush on Axl in his young years.
So it makes me sad to think he (& the others) are doing this for the money.
I think new celebrities (musicians/actors/athletes, etc) should ne warned to be smart with their money (Inve$t!) so they don’t have to be a desperate, washed up has been who has to put themselves back in the spotlight to get some more money.
Aging may be part of life, but how depressing is it to see the celebrities we loved become decrepit.

that's cheap

$100 is cheap for a show.

It's cheap for a great, amazing, coveted band. It's not cheap for thousands of unsold seats. Supply and demand laws apply here.

It’s kinda sad to see some of these ageing rockers nowadays the way their health has been destroyed by all those years of drug and alcohol abuse. They went from being slender young studs to fat old duds.
