Hooray for Beastie Boys!! So who is going to the ceremony?

@Saber - It's always a peer who inducts the artist. My bet is Chuck D.

For anyone considering going to the ceremony, a warning: It's a painfully long event.

How hard is it to get tickets? What's the difference between the $50 and $100 ticket? Thanks!
