Echoes Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 If you go to ticketmaster, you can check the ticket prices for the shows they have listed. Today they added PNC to the list, and I am in utter disbelief. The highest price there is $156.25. And that's without all the fees. There's no way I can afford that. And I thought $125 was pushing it. <:U Seriously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berzin Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Anyone know what the prices will be like for Mohegan Sun this time around? As for ticket prices being ridiculous, let's face it-they can probably make just as much money playing smaller venues and it's less work for everyone involved. Now when their new album comes out next year, if they resort yet again to playing county fairs and small outdoor arenas, I'm gonna have to call it a day. The other problem with tickets sales is the best ones always wind up in the hands of scalpers. So those prime seats always go for about $1,000. That is what REALLY sucks about the whole deal. At least in arenas like MSG there are so many seat available you can get something good for a reasonable price, and those who want to spend a grand per ticket can knock themselves out. But at Jones Beach or any of those Tweeter Centers they play in? Forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the bullshit fees you will be paying almost $200 a seat .Lovely Do they think they are really worth that much?! I saw the late, great John Entwistle FRONT ROW in 1998. Was right in front of him. How much was the ticket? $16.00! How many people were at the show? Maybe 30! Probably less. The Master and his great band still played like they were playing Wembley or Madison Square Gardens. AND! A few minutes after the show he went to the bar and had a a drink, talked and patiently signed tons of things for a few of us who who could not believe what we were seeing and experiencing. And no security goons! Just John and a few fans who he treated like a dear uncle. Had to be one of the nicest and coolest people you could hope to meet. No, Neil it was NOT "unreal". Just a few people showing their love and appreciation for John and him thanking them for listening to his music and supporting him all those years. Hey Neil! Have you ever seen John's house? http://pereds.com/cms/uploads/images/quarw...uarwood-850.jpg http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/john-e...view/?service=1 He knew "who" paid for it!

Some Half-Forgotten Stranger Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I think I heard Geddy comment on the price of ticket issue once a few years ago and he mentioned it's the promoters who set ticket prices, if I'm not mistaken.....but I would figure the band has some say in the matter. I am disappointed with these prices as I paid in the area of 95 bucks for my 3rd row seat in '07. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limbo Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 you should go to the minnesota state fair then the highest price before fees is $70 plus $12 to get into the fair so that you can walk over to the grand stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
