I paid $200 a piece for two tickets for last years Tampa show Nov.3rd. Bought them on e-bay. The face value printed was $150 each, so that wasn't too bad.

This is my first post here so I may not even be qualified to respond but I'll try. I never gave his music a second thought until my wife became interested about a year ago. Then a few months ago I bought two tickets on e-bay to the Nov 3rd show, her 50th birthday and his last show of the season. We ...
