As for SFX, it is nice to know others on this list have recognized major 'muscle' behind North American music/sports/special events. Huge it is, frustrating too, since the best tickets are generally available to subscribed season ticket holders of specific venues. It is no wonder scalpers and ticket brokers have a stunning array of 'best seats in the house' for resale. I have to admire SFX's suave business sense - but I fear their increasing domination in the entertainment industry. Likening SFX to being the 'Microsoft' of entertainment is dead-on correct. < Is AVALON now a political discussion forum? > No. But it could be, just for the thrill of it all: How Roxy Music is dancing to SFX's tune, 'Rock-a-bye-baby..... ;^) Best wishes, and good luck getting the tickets you desire.

The US ticket prices are high because none of the things that usually subsidise tours, e.g. a coincident release, such as when The Eagles released Hell Freezes Over to support their reformation. There has been no sponsorship announced, such as when Harp supported Ferry's Tour in 1989. It is unclear whether there will be a support act, who normally pay for their place on the tour. Finally the venues are not particularly large, less that half the size of the UK venues for example. There is some suggestion that it will be an expensive show to produce, with some mention of a special lighting design and set. I've no doubt that the artists, particularly Ferry, had to be made specific financial guarantees, and that the tour simply wouldn't take place without that. It's economics. If you want to go, you've got to pay, it's a once-in-20-years opportunity after all. I don't pretend to like it either, but lets face it, if Roxy were playing only one gig, at the North Pole, many of us would be getting measured for snow shoes right now.

No Sponsorship, which actually I think is cool, until you get to the ticket window. But I also would personally hate seeing them hooked up to a Budweiser commercial. True enough about "no current release". Although I would say a "good few coppers" made on those re masters. But no current "common label". Virgin must be loving this. I will add it is a fact in my mind that these boys are accomplished enough to be in a place to get a guarantee at the front. Then, more to come at the end. Nothing wrong with that. That means the promoter needs to have set parameters in regards to where they book and what they "know" they will get in return. I think the demographics play a part here as well. I think it is basically that New York "venues" demand a higher price, but then "in turn", has a large enough audience that is willing pay that type of cash to see what they want. So right now SFX is thinking there are more than a few people who will want to see Roxy Music in New York. ( Have I mentioned how nice that is to type? ). And I think they are right.
