Some of us geezers, and not quite geezers, were so blessed to grow up when
we did. You could get great seats, cheap, and sometimes the cheapest seats were
what they called "General Admission." This meant you were on the floor of an Arena
and could get all the way to the front if you were patient and determined.... or had a cute
girlfriend.
Or you could hang back by the soundboard and get the best sound in the building.
Now the freaking shows are so "corporate" and from the time you park they are squeezing
every damn $$$ out of your pocket until you start to ponder whether or not concerts
are worth the time and trouble anymore. If you can get tickets.
