Go the Athena. It is a really nice place, just make sure you make reservations.

     According to the search I just did, there's still some expensive ($107) orchestra seats left.

That's nearly double face value, he would kill me for even asking him to pay for that  ;D

       It's not scalping -- $107 IS face value of the orchestra seats.  (I think my row 11 seats were $65.)

That's still pretty damn expensive! Any concert ticket above $40 should be considered scalping.

I guess everyone in the audience should be locked-up: the tickets are $49, $65, & $107.

Scalping is re-selling tix higher than face-value.

Madonna performed here last night -- some tix were $600!  BW is a bargain.

Well I don't know, it says on ticketmaster that tickets are 65.00 and 49.50, no mention of anything over that, actually if you select 1 ticket for the keswick right now it will tgell you it's sold out.

But maybe i'm wrong.

Thanks to the kindness of someone with an extra ticket, I'll be there.

Those are the prices for the 'regular' seats.  The price for (as the Keswick site sez) "Limited V.I.P. seating" is $107.  Or, rather, was -- looks like every seat in the place has been sold now.
