however, what i find 'comical' is that of the 2 threads about euro shows i've seen, either commenting about prices or how/when shows were announced and then put on sale...both started by americans, one of whom i am certain has no intetion of going, dunno about the other. and hey, i do get it....but i just find it funny that at the very least it's not europeans starting the threads on these topics. no idea wtf it may mean...

whats comical is that the "sheep" here defend these ridiculous ticket prices. you people complain about u2's prices yet if i wanted to, i could buy a u2 ticket for $30. if i just wanted to be in the place for a pj show and sit in the nosebleeds i still have to pay nearly $100 a seat.

Ireland is expensive. I paid in the past 50 or more euro to see Radiohead for instance... PJ is 60 euro this time so I don't see the big deal... but I do understand the surprise of many of you guys living in other countries. It's just Ireland... and I don't even want to tell you how much I paid for Tom Waits or Leonard Cohen or even Neil Young... god I could've bought a very good second hand car with all that money

I'd pay it.. problem is, none of my friends would pay it.. its coming down to me having to just pay for their ticket if I want them to go with me. I'd also limit myself to one or two shows a tour.

This band has always been priced below market compared to other major acts.
Some people bitch because they can't get a $20 ticket like they could in 1994.
You can't please everyone, but accusing PJ of being greedy with ticket prices is silly if people look at tix prices for a lot of other bands.

bbbbbbaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh



seriously.
comical.
i'm no 'sheep' and i am not 'defending' anything. and i don't complain about U2, i honestly couldn't care less there. i personally understand the pricing overall, i don't think overpriced. you disagree as do some others, cool.

i just think it's kinda funny that many of the bitching threads around the euroshows are started by americans who i think have no intention of going. that is all. bitch away!




and norm, exactly.
yes, there's a recession going on i am sure the band is aware. however, i personally don't think they need to alter their prices b/c of that. others may disagree there. fair enough.

Call me a sheep if you must, but it's more about intrinsic value to me, $100 for any seat at a PJ show...well worth it. $30 for U2? Not even if you were paying... Echoing the points d2d has already made, if you're flying over from the US using our sweet dollar, and unless you've been long the euro or hedging your USD exposure for a loonnngggg time, yeah you're gonna feel that exchange rate pain.

it's a serious ouch!


and yes, it's all about the exchange rate. also, not every show is $100 a ticket either.
if/when US tickets are $100 USD.....yea.....whole other story and i would NOT be happy. but we're not there, yet....and hopefully won't be. but i will worry about that, then. besides which, it's all choice and as norm pointed out, a definite luxury item.
