I would consider exchanging my ticket for the oportunity to get close/talk to him and watch an aftershow :P

I don't think it was disrespectful since ourselves can create the topics. May look disrespectul when you don't have this info.

"I just know it was a show for people with lots of money, and yes it showed."

Well, I think that's very common in our countries, not only shows but many other things may be considered elitists. Damien's show in São Paulo was about 1/3 of Brazil's minimum wage, while in USA is about 1/20 of their's minimum wage (correct me if I am wrong). Everything is overpriced for us. And it is not because he is a foreign artist, I went to a show of a brazilian band last weekend and it was not cheap. I can't tell about the other countries in South America, but I would bet that all of us suffer of this problem. We cannot blame the artist or his producers.
