Rock concert

Well, not much going on right now, except for the fact that I want to fulfill a life long dream. The dream is to go to a rock concert. Wayne looked at me a little strangely went I announced this last week. He probably thought that I wasn't acting rationally. So he didn't get "on board" Possibly because in his youth he was able to fulfill that certain need. When we play guitar hero he always will, "Oh yeah I went to that concert" or whatever.
So I found a concert that I thought was worth going to, The Killers. All right the name is kind'a strange. Wayne hadn't really heard a lot of their stuff, so again he kind'a gave me this glazed over look and didn't really say much. I made him listen to some of their stuff and he thought it was okay-but the concert was in Milwaukee and it was on a Thursday night, so again doesn't really work out in the family life style, can a Mother truely feel good about dumping the kids and skipping town on a school night.
So them my wonderful walking buddy Heather calls today and says U2... September... Chicago!!! And I was really excited, because this whole fascination of mine to actually go to a rock concert started one time when I lived in Utah and a couple of friends of mine were going to see them in SLC and tickets were like 75 dollars. And me being the poor student couldn't go. Not that I was crushed by it, I just thought, man I want to do that sometime, when 75 dollars wouldn't mean anything.
So like that U2 concert was about 10 years and with the inflation and this (according to some website) is the best live music show ever. Can anyone guess how much one ticket, normal ticket would be? I hope the price I saw isn't the right one.

I'm sure a decent seat at a U2 concert is really pricey! But, if you were going to a concert then either they or The Eagles would be the ones to see.

I really wanted to go see the Spice Girls in Chicago last summer but the tickets were like $300. Bummer!

I never knew you had this rocker streak in you! Maybe G.Hero has brought it to the surface?!!

Rock on!

I can only imagine. You should have gone to the one 10 years ago - lol! I saw Bon Jovi in concert - I actually won tickets to that concert. Billy Joel was pretty good too.

Good luck on fulfilling your dream!

So your ticket was probably a minimum of $125. But U2 is awesome in concert. I am catching them in September in DC. We'll have to compare notes. Let me know the next time you want to go and I will meet you there. I want to see the Killers and Coldplay, but you know me...I just love concerts.
