I don't get it either. Top price here in Detroit was
$89.50, add on all of TicketBastards surcharges and it
would be well over $100 per ticket. That is LUDICROUS!!!!! 
I saw Prince in major arenas for half that price last year.
Flaming Lips are playing the same venue as PSB WITH Sonic
Youth and Wolfmother on the same bill for less than 40 a
ticket.


Luckily the main floor general admission tix here were the
"cheaper" $50 tix but again add on all the surcharges and
they are over $60 per ticket. But this is what we went with
so we can get right up by the stage. The ticket prices for
the Nightlife and Release tours were nowhere near these
prices. I GUARANTEE they will be greeted to a half empty
house in Detroit at these prices. The economy here is for
shit, people aren't going to pay 50 and 100 dollars for the
Pet Shop Boys in Detroit in 2006.
