In other words, deal with it. The only rip is it being 80 bucks. It's a rip for everyone. Like I said, ticket prices should be somewhat in line with what Phish charges.

I realize they're not doing it with the sole intention of screwing people, but they are screwing senior members none-the-less.
As to the bold, lets see:
Getting to the venue 3 hours before the gates open to sit in line, running to the front of the stage, standing up front after the gates open, through the opener, through the set change, all without going to the bathroom or going to grab a drink.
OR
Tailgating and getting to the venue whenever the hell one wants. Walking in, scoping out the merch booth, grabbing a beer and maybe a snack. Walking to your reserved seat and sitting down before the opener (during if they suck, which they usually do) and through the set change. Not being crammed in with too many people because security sucks and everyone stubbed their friends down. Not getting beer spilled on me. Taking a piss if I need to or if they play WAYG and being able to come back to my seat/seat buddy.
Yea, what was I thinking? GA sounds MUCH more appealing. If I was a ten year member I'd much rather go through all that for a seat and I'd definitely keep paying $35 a year to do it.
