17 Probable 2012 Music Concert Tours

BTW- the Stones, Sabbath and Van Halen would all be pretty awesome to see. I Love the Who, but my favorite half of the band is already gone. I just can't get excited for an Entwhistle & Moon-less Who...
 
$100 or more for nosebleed seats in an enormodome to see geezers who haven't been artistically viable for decades? No, thanks.

Sorry if that sounds a bit harsh, but, you know, I'd rather see a non-superstar band up close at a small club for $15 or less. Or, for the same price as you'd pay for one great seat at Roger Waters' "The Wall" tour, you could see an entire festival with dozens or even 100s of bands.

Time to Occupy LiveNation/TicketMaster and knock these ticket prices back down to earth.

I've bought reasonably priced tickets through Live Nation & Ticket Master so the lion's share of greed has to go to the artists. As much as I hate to say it, I can't begrudge artists for trying to make a living on the road after what's happened to recording end of the business.
