Has anyone ever seen these guys in concert? Well worth the money, if for
entertainment value only. But the music is good and the humor occasionally
dry and often esoteric. Good fun for the whole family. Even Thomas would
like them in, perhaps, a few years.

I've seen them and they are one of those things that once is enough.
Sort of like Vegas.

Agreed. Once is enough, but you have to admit they are entertaining, ja?

We paid $75 for decent seats. We didn't want to sit in the "wet" orchestra
pit, so we opted for the front row of the mez. That price isn't actually
too steep considering the prices I've paid for other concerts. Jimmy
Buffett at $100 was about average. And Notre Dame football tickets are
scalping for upwards of $1000 for games such as USC.

Something I failed to mention in the post above is that the BMG doesn't gain
much revenue from the sale of recordings, like most musical groups. Their
concert tours are where they make their money, ergo the high price of
tickets.
