    You know how some concert ticket prices are getting out-of-control expensive?

    Not if you're an Air Supply fan. Tickets for the group's concert tonight at the Mohegan Sun Arena are $20. And since Mohegan Sun is celebrating its 20th anniversary, it's also a very appropriate number.

    As for Air Supply, the duo of Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock were, of course, the kings of soft rock in the 1980s. Their 1980 release "Lost in Love" became the fastest-selling single in the world at the time, and it kicked off a string of hits for Air Supply. Among the titles: "All Out of Love," "The One That You Love," "Even the Nights Are Better," "Making Love Out of Nothing at All," "Two Less Lonely People in the World," "Here I Am (Just When I Thought I Was Over You)."

    At this point in their lives (Russell and Hitchcock are both in their mid-60s), the Air Supply stars have been seeing a few career accolades coming their way. Three years ago, Air Supply was inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association's Hall of Fame.

    Air Supply, 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Mohegan Sun Arena; $20; mohegansun.com.
