sorry about this, never posted on a website like this, tried to get tickets to the knoxville show so i could take my two children for there first "rock-n-roll" concert and i could not believe the prices. been elsewhere looking and it will cost me a blue-fortune to go, not counting refreshments, gas, t-shirts,etc.... i love mellencamp, my wife and i have seen him 3 seperate times here in Tennessee, but it's a shame a working man can't take his family to a show that we were all intially excited about. i will still try, maybe look for someone who has bought 'em and can't go or something like that and i am sure he has little or no control of the prices, but i can put gas in my car to get to work  and feed my family for quite sometime on what it would cost me to have seats that my kids could actually see the show from. way over 1,000 dollars by the time it's said and done, that's not the Mellencamp i grew up with.
It's just a damn shame!
