How High Can You Go?

No matter how good of a performance at a concert, you can only enjoy it in proportion to how far back your seats are. On Friday, we saw the Stones in San Diego. Petco Park is in it's second season as the Padres new home. Our seats were in the second to the top row. Sure, we could see Mick Jagger strut and swagger on the multiple big screens. But even on the big screen, you could barely make out the craggy lines that give away that he's over 60. With a combined income that puts us, statistically, in the top 1% of household incomes, it's hard to imagine that 40,000+ attendees shelled out a minimum of $60 a ticket and upwards of $1000. Next time, we're definitely splurging to buy much better seats so that the show is memorable for the right reason.
