I think it's all relative and depends on if you decide for yourself if it's worth it. Everyone has different proirities.
For myself, I had been saving for a while because I just knew in my heart he was going to tour again. I also live in Indiana so I figured I had a fair chance of seeing him somewhere when he did tour again. I originally planned on only going to 2 shows, but as fate would have it I ended up going to 4 shows. I do feel fortunate to have been able to do that, VERY fortunate. But, I also made some sacrifices to do so. Sacrifices others might not have been willing to make. But, it was my choice.
I had also anticipated the prices to be right about what they are. The economy is affecting all of us, including the venues, the production, etc. It costs more to do a show these days. We don't know what all goes into a show, but there are a lot of people involved, I know that, and a lot of ground that gets covered. And like beckjwilson commented, certain tickets come with a package that includes, among several other things, a nice t-shirt (which I LUV!) and No Better Than This on LP (2-LP set to be precise). I think it makes the ticket well worth the price, in addition to the guarantee of 1st 10 rows. (I think it should be closer, but that's another story, lol.)
My wish, of course, is that everyone would be able to go to a show. This is an incredible show and well worth the ticket cost on it's own merit. This is exactly the show I've been waiting for and it is beyond awesome in my opinion. I would go to more shows if they were closer to my home. I've been to 4 and each one was different, unique in its own way, special for it's own reason. And I know they would just keep getting better.

John is the one asking Elaine to take back her maiden name???!! What the heck is going on!!?? I'm sorry but this is all too weird. I know divorces are crazy, but why would he do that? Legal reasons?
"-somedays I still don't know what to do-"
Mary in Michigan
I read that it is in the prenup. That is one of the few things they leaked from it. And apparently the complaint was filed by John citing that the marraige cannot be reconciled. 3-page document.

Last night for dinner I made my special secret ingredient sauted scallop dish with brown rice and brussel sprouts (lightly seasoned and with a splash of olive oil). We also had a splendid mixed green salad. It was most enjoyable.
Yummo, Rich, that sounds wonderful! I ADORE sauted scallop!

Where are everyone's Mellenmoments?
I was flippig the channels around this morning and ran across the 2-hour A&E Biography special on Johnny Cash. It's a GREAT biography of him, but it's also very cool to see JM in it several times!
Then, of course, last night during one of the early commercial breaks of the (sad) Colts game it was very nice to hear them go to commercial with one of JM's songs!! Always makes me smile!

I agree KYRALEXIS, I love that photo too!! No matter who he is dating, but glad this photo was of just him. And are ya coming to Ames?? I would love to meet you! I am going to Omaha and Ames. I would love to! I need to do some saving, though. I am trying to build up my business (Pampered Chef) right now so I can save up some concert/fun money! Cross your fingers for me! This work could payoff big (ie more concerts for me, a trip to New Orleans in Nov, and a cruise next spring!!!)!So far I don't have anymore tickets! I can't complain though, because I have been to 4 shows already!
And Dar, I love that scruffy loo, too! LOVE, LOVE IT!!!
