250K for a Dylan show? They're certainly not spending that on vocal coaching, huh?  ;)

(If only I had half the musical talent that Bob Dylan has...)

Well, it must be really outrageous, if the ticket prices in the States are any indication....

I swear, I'm not complaining, just gobsmacked!

I heard that 2008 Villa Manin Show was around 140k Euro... and the show did not cover all the expenses... rumors from the Agency that get the show for MK Management, from Udine of course. But I don't know if it's true.

That sounds indeed a little ridiculous if you consider the fact that on some nights he just plays some random notes on his keyboard or guitar and calls it art, just because his name is Bob Dylan... I wouldn't support financing such a show by buying a ticket. If I want to hear strange noises, I can as well attend a twelve-tone-music concert. I've been to a few (I had to, worked at a concert hall for a while) - they are less migraine-inducing and at least nobody makes weird guttural sounds and calls it singing.

My sincere apologies to all Dylan fans but he never was, isn't, and never will be my cup of tea. I just don't see how his shows are worth the money you spend for a ticket other than you get the chance to see a "legend".
