Well, several of the shows on Ticketmaster have a top price of $95 and $97, and that's for just the base ticket price.
Once you add in all the extra convenience, facility, and handling fees, etc associated with it, they truly ARE approaching the $125 range.
Holmes makes it sound like seeing Coldplay is a bargain. It isn't.
I don't mind paying big money to see a well established artist, like Paul McCartney, who's been playing for 40 years.
But Coldplay, as much as I like them, are too "new" to be pushing the $100 price barrier.
