So, is it gonna break ya? The price probably won't be much higher
that a single CD. You can always give the GH CD to someone as
a Christmas present or something.

Oh dearie, the Stone's tickets were more expensive.
The only reason that the Stones grossed more on their tour in
the USA in 1997 is because they charged more per ticket. U2 sold
more tickets here that year. I remember that the Stone's seats
were $80 for the really crappy ones, $100 for the average ones
and $300 for the really good seats. And that was before
Ticketmaster added their huge service fees.
