Slightly OT - but what should I listen to to get into Def Lep.

The only song I know of theirs is "Pour Some Sugar on Me" - which I'll confess I like when in the mood for a bit of 80s rock type stuff.

Leppard are never OT

I got your back on this Monkey. Their catalog is too big and they have no album that covers the whole Def Leppard vibe. I made a friend a Def Leppard Mix CD a few years back and after a week he bought tickets to his first Leppard show.

Here's my patented "How to get a friend into Def Leppard" It includes the best 2 songs from each album and 3 from X because although that album has a lot of ballads it also has some of Leps heaviest stuff and 4 from the new album because it is genuinely some of their best work.

1. Wasted
2. Rock Brigade

Yup, secret show affected prices just like I said as well as announcement and ticket sales for the 20 other cities. Supply and demand fellas, supply and demand.

Not sure about those being the sole reasons. Logic would have it that the closer to the dates you get, the more the prices will drop. If someone has tickets for sale for 3k and they haven't moved by this point, you'd have no choice but to lower your asking price.
