These are my seats.....Section C2, Row 64(the second row of the C sections as far as I know), Seats 40-41.

Crimson Emotions Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I've seen Genesis seats for their Columbus, OH gig going for 57 dollars. Upper balcony, probably, but that's still a pretty good value, provided they're still around when they go on sale to the public. (Advance sales would have been another $35 to join the fan club, so no thanks). As for Rush, I paid about $75 plus the usual fees for lower pavillion at Indianapolis on the R30 tour. This one should be comparable. I've given up expecting ticket prices to go down to reasonable levels, at least for major acts. What used to be $20 shows in the 80's is now $50. I think I paid $30 to catch them on the HYF tour, so $50-75 is about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scirocco Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 On the German forum, we have a discussion about ticket prices. I'd like to hear why you think that Genesis can demand more money for a decent ticket like Genesis. What's your opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppetKing2112 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Oh, I think they are completely unjustified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Emotions Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I got tickets for Genesis upper balcony. After all the fees, the tickets wound up being about 72 dollars. Will it be worth it? I would have said no 10 years ago, but this seems to be where the major bands are these days. Of course, I'll probably pay that much to see Rush from lower pavillion, but Genesis is unquestionably a bigger band than Rush (at least in terms of mainstream popularity). I'll also be driving six hours from Knoxville to Columbus OH to check out the show. I'll stay over somewhere on the way back (thank goodness it's on a Saturday). I know that seems insane, but blame the band because they're not playing the south at all (possibly FL, but that's it). I definitely wanted to catch them once, since I had never seen them before.

Maybe in the 80s, but now? Not really. Rush always does very well on tour, their albums still debut in the top 10 and sell reasonably. I know Phil Collins has a ton of success as a solo artist, but I know NO Genesis fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Genesis and The Police are touring to sustain their extravagant lifestyles! Sting and Phil are running out of money! Is there any new music to support on these tours? Greatest hits tours are for soccer moms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppetKing2112 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 This is true, I'm skipping both of these tour. Actually, I'd take free Police tickets in a heartbeat if I was offered them, but Collins-era Genesis? No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floydfanatic111 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I am hearing from some sources in the Pink Floyd camp that a Pink Floyd 40th anniversary reunion tour may happen and if it does, tickets will be $90 to $300. Nick Mason and Rick Wright aren't making as much as David Gilmour and Roger Waters. Waters' shows have sold out and Gilmour's solo tours sold out all theaters he played last year and his On an Island album solo disc sold fairly well.

I don't really care about Genesis, but if I had to skip Pink Floyd because of insane prices, I'd be heartbroken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowLifeFlatHeadScum Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Still waiting to hear when that Hollywood Bowl date is going on sale. And in response to an earlier post....no, you won't hear any solo Collins, solo Tony, or even Mike and the Mechanics at a Genesis show. It's never happened.

LowLifeFlatHeadScum Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Can't think of anyone else that could sing for M+tM now. Paul Young is deadsky. I think Ray Wilson could take over the Young tunes nicely on a M+tM tour. And yes.....Paul Carrack is key part of that band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
