Concert tickets prices are out of control

[grammatron]

You think if I tell them I'll come after Phoenix they'll cut me a deal?

[yungboi]

ask their customer support if you can get in contact with the chief deal maker of ticket master

[pig ignorant]

seeing beck in 2023 seems like a major risk

[yungboi]

especially with the incoming sea change

[grammatron]

Yeah but I've never seen him and I wasn't even a big fan until like a year ago.

[i feel fine]

ask to speak with the ticket master

[antoine]

Yeah but I've never seen him and I wasn't even a big fan until like a year ago.

[easy]

especially with the incoming sea change

[antoine]

I listened to his discography.

[grammatron]

You know it brother!!

[saranclaps]

seeing beck in 2023 seems like a major risk

depending on where it's at he's got two turntables and a microphone

[saranclaps]

i only really listened to guero i think i should get into beck

[grammatron]

what the…

the hell would make you mad for beck in 2023

[razzle]

I bought tickets for def leppard and motley crue for a higher price than it would have probably cost me to see them every year since about 2002 combined. 2002 being when I started going to shows

[subtitles]

went to look for how much I spent to see Beck in 2006 in the front row at a theater in Jersey City, but instead found that I paid $15 each for Silver Jews and then Magnolia Electric Co. two Wednesdays in a row senior year of hs

[6 Foot 7 Foot 8 Foot Chunt]

Now that Beck has a Grammy there's a 75% markup which can be seen by comparing actual value vs perceived value

[broodstar]

my rule is i try not to pay anything over $35 for a ticket

anything above that is an artist/show that sold out

[lostinthemall]

im not sure the actual tone of the posts in this thread but

beck/phoenix in sheds is the exact sort of show you wait until the week of and buy on stubhub for half face value

there will also be a number of live nation promotions in the next few months for cheap lawn tickets

[hologram]

I’d gladly pay the $150 or whatever had I known how fixated I am on missing the MM LCW show last month

I’ve fucked up a lot in life but not making time for music always hits the hardest

[Da Bing Boy]

Yeah but I've never seen him and I wasn't even a big fan until like a year ago.

Am I wrong about red rocks being a premium enough venue that you just shut up and give your money?

[warmjets]

There are a ton of idiots in Denver that revere that stupid place. It's a pain to get to.

I think it's partly all the post-pandemic price increases.

My girlfriend bought us tickets to see him there in 2018 and I think she said it was like $65

Yeah it's really only an enjoyable venue to me if my seats are in the first 1/3 of the rows.

[jewels]

I think a big driver might be venue hire costs skyrocketing with the effective real estate bubble
like if anyone's gonna gouge it's the land barons and event management corps


maybe pitchfork should investigate (tone ...sincere actually)

I think a big part of it is that streaming has sapped artists' revenue streams.

i think this is a small part, but the bigger part is the monopoly of ticket sales and venue.

I see that Red Rocks isn't part of the monopoly, but I'm not an investavagative jurmalist, what do you want from me?

[Shotfrog]

I saw Beck open for Dave Matthews Band at Foxborough Stadium. I don’t remember how much it cost… but the memories are priceless.

[i am rich]

it aint the prices so much as the fees imo though the prices have gone up since covid "ended"

[xxx-xxx-xxxx]

I can't believe i was able to see the stones in 2019 at soldier field for less than $200 a pair. That might be the last show i ever go to
