Wanna See George Strait’s Final Show? It’ll Cost You

Want to see George Strait's sold-old final concert next month, but don't have tickets? You're in luck  if you're loaded. The average ticket price is $681, according to secondary ticket marketplace Vivid Seats. The
median price is $426.
If you're on a budget, general admission tickets are more affordable. The average there is $228. The median is $186.

Of course, if money is no object, you might as well go all out. Floor-level seats have an average ticket price of $1,642, and a median price of $1,050.

Now you know why they call him King George.The concert, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on June 7, promises to be quite an event. Also on the bill: Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert and Eric Church.

Regular prices for Strait's farewell tour have been much more reasonable. The Strait dates that were listed in Billboard's Boxscore ranking of top concert grosses last month showed ticket prices ranging from $69.50 to $101.50. Strait had various supporting acts on those dates: Chris Young; Sheryl Crow; or Merle Haggard and Lee Ann Womack.

But the "secondary ticket marketplace" prices are comparable to what scalpers can command for such top rock stars as U2 and the Rolling Stones.

Strait, 62, is one of the few country stars who could command this kind of price. Strait has built a legendary career since the release of his first country hit, "Unwound," in the spring of 1981
