So would you have paid $3,000 for a seat to see it live ?
From the word on the net, a lot of those seats were empty (unsold), so a lot 
of people didn't think so.

the Beatles, he really should think about retiring.
And since Madonna is now British, they should have let her make a fool of 
herself too.
