You can buy tickets to see The Who in Pittsburgh right now cheaper than you can buy a Grand-Dad’s Secret hard shake from Burgatory.

The cheapest tickets available Thursday morning on StubHub.com were going for as low as $8.81. A bourbon-laced caramel milkshake will set you back $9.50.

Roger Daltrey, 75, and Peter Townshend, 74, are scheduled to perform at PPG Paints Arena for the duo’s The Who Moving On! Tour. They will be supported by guitarist/backup singer Simon Townshend, keyboardist Loren Gold, bassist Jon Button and drummer Zak Starkey. They also will be complemented by orchestras.

The band is scheduled to start playing at 7:30 p.m.

The almost $9 tickets will get you in the arena’s upper sections. But hey, maybe you’ll have enough money left over to buy yourselves some nice binoculars.

To get a little closer, you’ll have to pay a little more — around $30 to $150.

The most expensive tickets on StubHub are priced at $2,200, which gets you a spot on the floor.

The tour is The Who’s first return to the U.S. since their 2017 residency in Las Vegas. Its forthcoming album, “The Who’s Tommy Orchestral,” will be released June 14. Pre-order the album here.

Update: At 3 p.m. Thursday, the cheapest tickets were available for $16.
