Per ticketmaster, tickets in Milwaukee for EC are $50 - $95 (plus the typical ticketmaster monopoly fees). I would imagine that Clapton could demand $150+ for the front section, but it looks like even the first few rows are $95 + TM. His prices are not that different what I just paid to see the ABB.
IMO, not sure that Eric would have done another blues album if he was trying to have another pop hit for middle America. This album will have no lasting radio airpay and I don't think he cares. I'm glad EC is giving some focus again to the blues.
As for his latter day music, Unplugged, From the Cradle and Riding with The King occupy a favorable place in my CD collection, even if the rest of his newer material is not up my alley. I haven't heard the new one yet, but I'm interested in hearing it (I've read lot's on it including some who love it).
