Stop being so expensive. I can't afford to go to your show in January. I might be going to the Philippines at that time anyway. But the point is is that I can't pay $122 for your solo show. I love it when you sing solo. Why are you in such a large venue anyway? Your solo shows are usually in places like the House of Blues. I love you to pieces and I've never missed a show of yours in the Los Angeles area. I guess this will be the first. :(

*blinkblink* $122 for a solo show? In a large venue? That's unusual for Rufus. Suckage. :(

*edit, $122 for two tickets. I think they're actually $50 but that's plus the $11 "convenience" fee and additional taxes that they tack on equals $122. Yeah. Last time I went to see him it was $32.50, flat rate. So ... wtf Rufus? Also, large venue! He's playing a convention center. I'll give it to him that it's like a gay epicenter but still. :(

[pbanda.livejournal.com]

Ohh okay, $50 is more like it, but yeah... I just Googled and that theatre is over twice the size of the place I saw him in a couple years ago.

[amelialourdes.livejournal.com]

I know!! I ... really don't know why he's playing such a large venue for a solo show.

[azureopal.livejournal.com]

That's insane. I've only seen him once but the ticket was around $28.

[amelialourdes.livejournal.com]

Technically this ticket is about $61 with fees so $122 would be for two but still! It's Rufus. He isn't usually this pricey, you're right.

More than the $ I'm all O.o about the venue. Last time I saw him was at Copley Symphony Hall.

[amelialourdes.livejournal.com]

I know!! I'm totally confused about this giant venue setting. I've seen him play the Hollywood Bowl but that was for his Judy show and not a regular, solo show. I am confuzzled.

122$!!?

[amelialourdes.livejournal.com]

$122 for both tickets but still! That's $61 a ticket. Not the usual Rufus price.

[mozartfan1313.livejournal.com]

What? Are those the cheapest ticket prices?

Dear Rufus,

Please play Toronto!!!!!!!!

Love,
Me

[amelialourdes.livejournal.com]

Technically it's $122 for two tickets but that's still $61 for one ticket! I cannot afford that right now. He needs to stop it. Hahaha I was gonna say, he does play Toronto! He'll be back around soon, I'm sure. This show isn't until January 2010.

[mozartfan1313.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh! $61 is better. haha.

Really? Is there a website that you think is reliable that has concert info so I could look up a Toronto date?

[amelialourdes.livejournal.com]

Better?! I'm used to seeing him play for $20-$30. This is a nightmare! I don't know why it's so much for a solo show. Can't understand it.

His website is the best source of information. His fans are really up on anything Rufus related. I recommend checking out the fan forums too to see if they have anything to say about Toronto. Usually they get the news first.

[mozartfan1313.livejournal.com]

Really? That low? I don't think I've ever been to a show for that price. Must be nice. haha.

Thanks!

[amelialourdes.livejournal.com]

Really? lol. Think it could be our exchange rate? Maybe your prices are the same as mine just as a Canadian dollar.

Welcome!

[mozartfan1313.livejournal.com]

No, that definitely isn't the exchange rate. lol. That's just Toronto being all expensive with its shows, like NY.

[amelialourdes.livejournal.com]

Oh, dude. Downgrade. :|
