I just got tickets to see Alice in Chains in NYC in September. I was SHOCKED to see that they were selling tickets for $25 each... The Live Nation charges added an Additional 40% to each ticket (I WAS REALLY PISSED ABOUT THAT)... but still $35 to see Alice in Chains? I havent paid that little for a concert ticket since 1986!

    for me it has to be the Lemonheads, which were $15, forgot how much the charges were but not nearly as much as ticketmaster, i don't think i paid even $20.

    or the Brian Jonestown Massacre, forgot how much these were but it was under $30 total after fees

    ticket master is such a bastard sometimes, buy 2 tickets and the fees add up to pretty much a 3rd ticket
    don't compete; coexist

    what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

    That's really a good deal! Another reason, one of the many, I like these guys. With that said, I think most of the best shows I have ever been to, I paid less than $30 for the ticket.

    I think they will in time. This seems like a warm up tour, especially since its happening before the album even comes out.

    yeah, that's what I'm thinking. In the past few years they've been all over the place- this band loves to tour which is really cool

    I agree that the face price of the tickets was great; only $25 per ticket which is damn reasonable. However, as you ALL know I'm sure, I got absolutely fucked on admin charges. It ended up being around $68 after all said and done.

    Oh and in regard to the other AIC thread, yea I was able to find DC tickets ;)
