Would you pay the same amount to see a famous band play a concert vs a very good cover band?

  If the concert was purely music and the very good cover band played the music just as well, then sure. Concerts are about more than just the music though. They are often about the stage presence, visual affects, and the nostalgia, in addition to the music. That being said, if this cover band had just as good a show as the original band, and somehow the same amount of nostalgia (i.e. they've been covering the original band's songs since the start and have always been just as good in concert), then again I would say yes. I don't think that's likely though. I mean, if you boil down what you are paying for to its essence, and provide an alternative with exactly the same quality in that essence, then you should be willing to pay the same. It's almost by-definition.
