Is Van Morrison worth 250.00?

He's playing three shows in February at the tiny jazz club Yoshi's in Oakland, about 250 people packed.
For me personally Van these days isn't worth that, even at Yoshi's (maybe 10 - 20 years ago) but for others it sure will be, so if any of you are interested and you didn't already know about the shows the presale is this Thursday. Here's the info...

Most expensive tickets I have ever purchased was Van Morrison at $150 a pop at the Wamu Theater in Seattle. Worth every penny but wouldn't do it again.

I think he was referring to the Swedish hard rock band "Europe" who had that hit song "Final Countdown."

Saw another show that was good, but not stellar. But I wouldn't pay $250 for any band.

Yeah Knot, that's gonna' be a
Yeah Knot, that's gonna' be a real good one. Phillip Greenlief is one hell of a trippy sax player and Scott is always a killer. I'd be there for sure but I'm seeing Nick Cave at Davies that night.
Besides, this thread isn't about what one can see for less, it's about what one thinks of Van the Man.
Even at this late stage of his career I'd love to see him at Yoshi's, but I can't pull the trigger at 250.00.
If I knew he'd be playing nothing but his best works I would, but I doubt I'd be satisfied with the set list, and he's not the performer he once was.
Still, as a performer well known as one who can have crap nights and GREAT nights, if I could get in cheap I'd do it just for the chance.
Anyway, I hope anyone who wants to see this gets in.

Some shows would be worth it.
Some shows would be worth it. Many big name acts are charging $500 and up for pit passes to their shows, so I'm sure many of that crowd wouldn't blink twice about $250 tor a club show with a seat, table, food and drinks.
I haven't seen Van since his NOLA Jazzfest set in 2017. It was decent but nothing spectacular, and I bailed on it after a half hour in favor of catching the Marsalis Family Reunion set.
If you haven't seen Van and have the extra scratch, you should do it. A legend up close is a memory you'll keep forever.

I remember paying $35 to see The Rolling Stones in the 90s adjusted for inflation that’s about $60. Something’s worth is determined by what someone is willing to pay for it. I know what PT Barnum would say

And Knot, I saw the Greenlief/Amendola/Dunn trio tonight in Palo Alto. I chose that over The Waterboys at the Fillmore, who I've seen many times before.
It was really quiet, trippy "outside" music, glorious but only an hour set. I guess hoping that playing with Phil recently would inspire Amendola to embrace the longer sets concept was dreaming. It was still worth the $20 I and the 30 other people there paid to see it.
GTTS!
