£45 is very close to being outrageous considering he'll probably not play more than 2 hours. For that price I'd want a couple big name support acts to do 40 minutes each and then at least 2 hours from Meat.
For a bit of fun I thought I'd look at upcoming concerts and see how much they're costing.
Lionel Richie £50 (plainly ripping off the fans).
Westlife £30 (like it or not, they're one of the biggest names in the pop industry, but £30 is about the most any ticket (except festivals) should be).
WASP £15 (that's a reasonable price for a band of that stature, i.e. not terribly famous but with a dedicated fan base).
Riverdance £37.50 (if you're willing to pay that much you deserve to sit through 2 hours of that shite).
James Taylor £40 (no support, so he's plainly topping up the retirement fund and doesn't care how much he's shafting his fans to do it).
Johnny Winter £25 (that's more like it. Johnny's not worried about retirement- he's just glad to still be alive).
All of which leads me to draw the conclusion that £45 for Meat Loaf represents albeit not a Justin Timberlake sized daylight robbery (£50, honestly) but just a minor shafting.
Enjoy the show,
Will
