She probably plays a vintage instrument worth 40 or 50 thou.

I was in the eleventh row for this one and that beach ball brings back memories lol

[Hquidditchfan]

lol at 0:29 when Robert caught that Ball in his hand!

Why you brought your video camera?Last time i checked they don't allow Video cameras there

[ZepLizzy]

I only brought my digital camera and decided to take a few videos as well. They post signs at the venue not to bring cameras in, but do not search for them at the gate. I believe almost everyone there had some sort of digital camera with them, be it a cell phone or actual camera.

I think for the price I paid, and waiting for 2 hours at the fox in St Louis, they could have at least signed a few autograghs. They didn't even wave at the fans that were only a few feet away....a little video isn't too much to ask for 2 performers who can't take time out to at least wave.

Not trying to be a jerk that shows off but Robert was especially nice at the MSG show i was in the second section (not row) and when i waved as high as i could he waved back

[rockboy923]

you don't seem to mind watching the video she captured.....

[TimelessGypsy]

lol save the violin! :P It's great you got this on video! Did she (Alison) seem annoyed about it?

[ZepLizzy]

Nah from where I was sitting it didn't seem like it. The whole thing was a blast! I love Plant going for the catch! :)

[TimelessGypsy]

It's great when the artists get involved with the audience!  It looked like so much fun from your video.

[italytraveller]

how much you figure Robert nets after taxes and expenses for 1 show. im guessing between 150 and 300k?

[SilverQueen]

I've no clue, but tickets for this show weren't really that expensive. I believe front row at this one was cheaper than at the average Faith Hill/Tim McGraw show.

[italytraveller]

u mustbe rich. expensive to me is anything over 7 dollars. the cheapest i saw were over 50 dollars the highest 500

[SilverQueen]

Well, if you bought them right when they went on sale, I think the most expensive ones were about $78, excluding convenience charges. If you bought them secondhand from a ticket broker, they were waaaay more than that. For me, it's more like "6 weeks of only eating in the university cafeteria for 3 hours of being close to Alison Krauss," in which case, I'm okay with that. XD I will say though, that if Robert were in it for the money, he'd have done the Led Zep tour.

[italytraveller]

well to me if there is a choice between buying 6 weeks of groceries versus 3 hours of bad seats at robert plant im going grocery shopping.

[jude0620]

I am sure everyone in their band is getting a fair bit of money for the tour, however...I don't think Robert Plant and Allison Krauss are doing this for money (or T-Bone). I think they are having a blast, which is great to see.

As far as ticket prices, we had box seats they were 85.50 before service charges. I think that's pretty fair given that people like Madonna are charging upwards of 300.00 which I find insane.

[josepolo950]

really ?thats utterly insane!!!!!!!!!!Shes a millionaire!!!!

[SilverQueen]

No, she was mostly just scared that it was gonna hit her fiddle, lol. You could tell when the beach ball first started floating around that she thought it was kind of awesome, though. That's never happened at one of her shows before. XD

BTW, that's me handing her the flowers at the very end. ^_^

[jude0620]

I have a picture of her holding the flowers if you would like me to email it to you.

[TimelessGypsy]

Can you e-mail it to me, too?

[TimelessGypsy]

Oooh nice you can see it on video now!
