We were not very far back. The Fox Theatre isn't large like an arena. I was able to get tickets before the general public. I'm sure others paid much more. We also saw Heart at the Fox. Fifth row right-orchestra seats were 189.00.
VIP meet and greet tickets which included several items such as t-shirts, great seats, and a photo with band members, were 1,200.00 for Aerosmith. I didn't even consider those. I did do the Adam Lambert package for my daughter because it was only 179.00. That didn't include admission--which was less than 100.00 because my daughter was a member of his fan club. I didn't do the package for me, but they let me go back with her while she got her picture with him.
My daughter saw Elton John in March, at our local River Center, for only 109.00. The tickets for the show sold out in less than an hour. She thought it was really cool that I saw him 44 years ago, at almost her exact age, and now she was seeing him with her boyfriend. Our River Center is an intimate venue, so all seats are good seats.
