£60 does seem like too much, but I would have paid it, if I could have bought a ticket quickly and efficiently.
Tate clearly doesn't have state-of-the-art admin which can match the technocratic 'Gestalt' [pardon me for being poncy] of Kraftwerk. Even so, there's little doubt that Kraftwerk would only appear at a venue [nowadays] if the sound facilities were top notch. And that's what really matters, I think; so wishing all who will be attending an enjoyable time.

Wouldn't pay that even if I was loaded. And you'd just hear one album. I'd want to hear the whole oeuvre for £60. I have seen them once and that's enough for me.
