How does Mohegan usually do price break downs?  Big differences?

I\'d [ay 50 for a ticket at MSG but I bet the seats suck, and no way I\'m paying $150 for a ticket

not sure about mohegan, but its about 500x smaller than MSG..

see, the thing is, if i go to a concert, i want the best seats i can possibly get (without going to a scalper), so to me, these tickets are $150, period.

...which is too much. though it\'s a bargain compared to madonna (who i really wanted to see), whose top-tier tickets are $350. :mad:

but i digress.. without looking, i\'d say yes, the $50 MSG tickets DO suck, and if you\'ve ever sat in the 400\'s at MSG, you know how much suck that actually is (a shitload).

Well there\'s nothing on the Mohegan site about the Clapton show yet. But there\'s a Paul Simon show (July 9th)(which I would also LOVE to see) which I\'m assuming would be similar seating structure. and those are $75/$55, which is still a hefty price tag but much better that $150

Isn\'t Derek Trucks in his bands for these shows?  Or have those shows already past?

I thought Derek Trucks was only playing in the band that went to Europe so he would be home in time to play with the Allmans.

from the dtrucks webpage:  

"Derek will continue his work with Eric Clapton when the tour hits the US and Canada in Septermber and October."  

Anyone know if they dusted off some Derek & The Dominos material while in Europe?
