$100+ fees per band is less than I'd spend to see each one of these artists individually. I went to Desert Trip. GA is fine, they had massive jumbotrons and I didn't miss a second of the shows.

Just curious what two of the six bands are not iconic, according to your post?

I was just going to say, we would open up a dictionary to random pages to make up band names. We had some pretty fun ones.

Grab a couple old books/dictionaries/thesaurus and throw darts, see what you get.

Or pick favorite phrases from books, songs, or film.

I’m no expert, but it’s impossible to say anyone is the absolute best. IMO. I will say that what he does seem to do is make classical music accessible, interesting and popular to an audience that may otherwise ignore it. That’s based on what little I know of him. That’s more of a contribution to music than his actual skills.

I heard that there’s going to be a VIP tent where you can get a full hip replacement while they play

This is the right answer. It sucks that some artists are worth way more than most of their fans can afford, but that's the way it is sometimes. They can try some things to give the "poorer" fans a chance but the free market always finds a way, and the middlemen always get their cut.

Wow, I'm not alone in thinking that.

(My pet theory is the perfect ticket price leaves one seat unsold.)

To be fair I’m in BC and it’s probably cheaper for either of us to fly to Cali or Vegas than it is to fly to eachothers provinces lol. For me, definitely

When I lived in Sask I could’ve gone to Vegas for a week with hotel/buffet included for cheaper than a flight to BC in December
