No, especially not before the fees make that $65 turn into $100.
They’re a decent show…at $35-$40.

No fees. Concert is at the Surf Ballroom and tickets are from people I know.
Seeing them at the Surf probably makes it worth it - they're a decent live band with enough catalog to make everyone happy
I was there last night as well. They were all very good (Loverboy, Styx and REO). Styx put on a better show in my opinion. They are all getting up there in age but sounded very good.
$65 at the Surf Ballroom? Definitely go. Pretty intimate venue with a ton of history. You won't remember what you did with that $65 in five years. But, you will remember that show.
Heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from another that it is not a bad price.
I go to 6-8 concerts a year at the Surf because we only live 15 min away, so the venue isn't going to push me over the edge. Would be fun to see them there though. Guessing I will end up going.
$65 will get you a case of Busch Light, a pack of White Claws, and a bottle of vodka.
Agree with the others that have said this. At the Surf, 100% worth it to see REO for $65.
I’ll compare that to seeing Bon Jovi for $200 per ticket in a 10,000 seat arena last spring. Awful and not worth a $20 ticket.

Carry on my wayward son.... we're gonna have lots of wayward fun. Love that song
If REO Speedwagon disbanded next month, would you kick yourself for not seeing them and saving yourself $65? If so, then go get tix. If you’d be like “eh, who cares?”, then $65 is too much.
My $.02. No refunds.

Just sold my tickets for $50. Had a great night planned with friends, some of whom you know. Covid finally got me.
Damn. That sucks. Hope you have a quick recovery. Doesn't sound like we are going to end up going now.
I’ll never forget that $65 is 4.33 BJs from OP’s mom behind the Casey’s dumpster.
Heard it from a friend, who heard it from a friend, who heard it from another that $65 is too much for their show…
I saw every hot band in the world in the late 70's for $6 to $10.
And that is why I'm officially out of the concert-going crowd. I'll happily support my local music scene, but paying four figure sums to see groups that peaked roughly 40 years ago? No effing way. But dumb boomers will pay it for nostalgia's sake.
do you remember when we used to dance ( clap clap)

C'mon, Ed...
If you had said, "Roll with the Changes" that would have been a good pick.
We all have things we blow money on that others do not get. The bands I liked as a kid are mostly together and I have been able to spend the last 20 years watching them live. This Friday I will see Crue, Def Leppard, Poison, and Joan Jett for the second time this summer....was able to catch them in Chicago earlier. He'll this is about the 20th time I will have seen Def Leppard.
Hurl. "Don't Let Him Go" is usually their show-closer, and with that Bo Diddley beat being pounded out over and over from all the guitars is righteous.
Very good choice.
Sitting here pissed off I am not in clear lake. I have been face to face with people with covid. Tested 15 times and always negative. Somehow got it this week.
Took me a hot minute, but I remember Asia. Are they still touring?
