There are no center seats in that price range anymore.  If you go as far back as possible on the two side wings which are closer to the stage (than the separate sections in the back) you can get as low as $82.00, which is a bit more than I want to spend for the view I'd be getting.  A lot of it has to do with my level of fandom for the band.  If this were a reunited Genesis I would be okay with spending like $500.00 for nosebleeds, but it isn't.  For some people, KC are their jam, so I'm not trying to say the price of admission isn't worth it.  I'd probably regret not going, but I just wish I'd jumped on tickets before prices jumped up.



If you are curious to know what makes me not a KC super fan, it's most about the more "meandering" and cacophonous moments.  I'm not a big jazz fan either, so some of their jazzier moments lose me.  When they incorporate lots of "found sounds" and noisy (date I say "industrial") stuff I lose interest. 

off topic:
When I want a darker brand of prog, my go to are VDGG.  I'd go see VDGG over KC any day, and probably pay more for it.  I would love to hear a whole VDGG album with Fripp on it.

The Boston shows are the closest ones to me (I'm in Maine), but the tickets are just stupid expensive.  For a somewhat decent seat I'll have to drop $170.00 USD, which is way too rich for my blood.  I typically buy center seats as close as I can get, and the tickets in the first 30 rows or so are over $300.00 USD!  If I go for non center seats which are pretty far back they drop down to $82.00 USD, which is still pretty pricy for a seat which isn't incredible.  This is a really tough decision for me.  I love KC, but they are not my absolute favorite band by any means, so I'm not sure I can justify emptying out my bank account...

I thought the same thing about Belew not being there but then I was reading Tony's blog about the tour and he had taken a couple of pictures of them in the studio and one picture was of his funk fingers. And I do believe that those are used exclusively on post Red albums, so there is hope.
