   It depends not only on the gig, but I think on your circumstances at the time, and how much value (not price) you put on the experience. 

In the past i have spent £300 on a pair of opera tickets,(a gift for my partner and worth every darned penny) and £750 for a pair of FA cup final tickets.(from a scum bag tout, but again for that experience worth every penny- Arsenal winning the double back in '98) Both i think was TOTALLY good value, and wonderful experiences because they both meant so much more than what it might seem on face value.......... but for a gig, hmmmm, I dunno, I do think that it can get out of hand the way prices are ramped up, especially as you say sonic assisin as the dvd sales tv rights etc etc of these huge gigs reap in quite a chunk of money. 

There have been times in my life when I couldn't afford £20 for a ticket for a gig I ached to see, but the earth didn't stop spinning. 

i tend to put values on things these days that have nothing to do with price. 

If I had the money, and it meant a lot to me I might spend it, but it wouldn't worry if I missed it for lack of funds. 

As much as i would like to hear Genesis with the Gabriel line up, I have to say without time travel that won't be possible. i don't think it is always a good idea to get what you wish for, sometimes it can be a let down. I love what PG is doing now, and that's ok with me. 

P-C
