..John, how much did you pay for your ticket(s)??
Good classic bands appear to not involve sponsors - The Eagles for example (god bless Glenn Frey). So their prices are steep, but in the case of The Eagles, and arguably the greatest rock band out of the U.S., the prices were well worth it. Saw the them twice, a ticket was on the order of $150C each for mid seats and that is cheap because it was some time ago.
U2 typically don't use sponsors, but the Stones used to. Nevertheless, due to their limited life expectancy I expect low-to-mid tier tickets to start at around $150C. However, with all the crap of "online middle brokers", that price can climb. I could be undershooting here.
Fantasy: If Led Zeppelin ever toured again, I would easily pay $1K per ticket and I am confident I wouldn't be alone. Many would sell their grandchildren to do the same.
Less Fantasy: I heard if ABBA toured (and it is a non-zero possibility), their payday would be on the order of $1B. Deny away, but they would command attention of all old and new generations.

Don't punish me for bringing up Zeppelin and ABBA on the same thread comment.
