Pete's a businessman.
The Who is playing the night before Thanksgiving in Atlanta. I desperately wanted to go - huge Who fan - and checked ticket prices. $200.

I saw The Who in 2002 in Columbus, Ohio a few weeks after Entwistle was found dead in a Vegas Hotel. It was a great show. Perhaps the best rock concert because of their energy exhibited and the song list consisted of rock anthem after rock anthem. Robert Plant opened the show.
This year's tour prices are out of control but you may be able to get prices below face value if it doesn't sell out.

My two teenage sons wanted to see The Who so I began investigating the tour and gulped at the prices. Then I discovered they were playing at the Virgin Festival in Baltimore. For the price of one Who concert, we got to see them as well as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Flaming Lips, the Drive-by Truckers, the Killers, the Raconteurs and a few others.
I have to say, The Who kicked ass. The crowd was a mix of geezers like me and youngsters like my sons, and we all sang along when Pete belted out "It's only teenage wasteland!" Some dads bond with their kids over a game at Yankee Stadium--we had our moment passing the crowd surfers over our heads. My 17-year-old has already downloaded the new Who album from the Internets; I will stop in Best Buy later today to get it the old-fashioned way.

Within a week of each other, I got my son free tickets to the Who and the Stones. By far, he preferred the Who.

Wow...$200. I saw The Who in Seattle in 1979 or 1980. Kenny Jones was drumming. Awesome show.
