Hi every one, I’m not sure if I’ll get any response from you but I felt the need to send you this message.

6 Years ago, I saw the band perform in Ferrocarril Stadium (Buenos Aires - Argentina) both days. I remember I paid U$D 20.00 per show, and I got to see the band from the main field and get pretty close to the stage in deed.

Today, I found an article saying that the tour date set for Argentina in November 13th (this year) in the “Estadio Unico de La Plata” is 90% confirmed, and also, an estimated price list of the tickets.

It came to my surprise when I saw the list and compared to what I paid 6 years ago. I even took the job to update the value of the ticket with the inflation rates per year (25% of inflation each year). I couldn’t
believe it. According to that list I’m supposed to pay U$D 120 for the same ticket. Not only that, but now we also have a VIP sector. I honestly felt terrible.

Nevertheless, I’m still interested in one thing, is it maybe that the show that PJ is planning to give in our country this year will cost more (a lot MORE) money because of a larger investment? Better scenario? Nicer Lights Show? Bigger Screens? Better sound?
If that would be the reason, I have no problem at all. But if the show is to be as much “basic” as the one in 2005, then I feel like deeply broken hearted and betrayed.
I mean, don't get me wrong, 2005 was the best that happened to my life ever. But still, 400% of increase in the price list!!!????

If that would be the case, I’d say farewell PJ.

Thanks for your time, your music, your magic. I'm givin away my PJ albums and throwing away any stuff I purchased in the past.

PS... And don't get surprised guys....this is just what you taught me with your music and activism.
Stick to your ideals, and fight.

Truer words never spoken. The "business" side of this band is making it harder and harder each year to stay passionate.

Here in Brazil, the prices for this concert comparing to 2005 they didn´t rise soooo much...It was R$ 120 in 2005 and now is R$ 190 (both GA prices).
But, for other bands, the prices here is really outrageous. I saw Red Hot Chilli Peppers here in São Paulo in 2002, and I remember I paid R$ 50 for general admission ticket, in a stadium that holds almost 60.000 people. This year they will play again here, in a small place (the parking lot of Sambódromo, the place that happens carnival here), it holds really less than 60.000 and they will charge R$ 200. I´m not going.
I´m passing RHCP and Eric Claton (will be really expensive too) in October just to see PJ

I don´t know if I can say something more. I´m very upset... Rio 2005 was disorganized for people that didn´t have wristbands.

Hello there. One question.. What about if the TC members will have the chance to enter before the rest of the people to the concert as in previous times, or if this time it will be different with no preferences.
Thanks ..
See ya in Southamerica..

It´s true that there´s a huge difference between 2005 prices and this one... but I think 2005 was really cheap comparing with other shows or artists, and obviusly with US or Europe prices.
It´s expensive anyway..it would mean a big effort!

drummerboy_73

(2) tickets to Las Vegas, 2000 - $56.00
(2) tickets to Las Vegas, 2003 - $77.00
(2) tickets to Las Vegas, 2006 - $112.40
(2) tickets to L.A., 2006 - $117.40
(2) tickets to EV, L.A. 2011 - $169.00

Even with inflation adjustments, the ticket price increases have been just a tad excessive in my opinion - doubled in a 6 year period. Don't get me wrong - I still think the shows are worth the price, and seeing EV last week was probably my favorite show since seeing PJ the first time in '95. But from a "nuts and bolts" perspective, the product is still the same since 2000 - only thing I've really seen change is the lighting/backdrops.

I'm sure venues are squeezing acts for more $$$, and TM fees have gotten crazy from a percentage perspective. Sometimes as much as 80-90% of the face value of the ticket. And why they aren't a flat fee per ticket, rather than increasing with each ticket level is absurd. I'm ready to go back to the days of paying $15 for a physical album so artists don't have to depend so much on concert ticket sales. But that would require them to produce 12-15 GOOD SONGS at once, something very few bands are doing in these days and not really feasible since the album concept is all but dead.

Curitiba it's R$ 300 for "VIP'S" and R$200 for the others. It is very sad, very sad in deed.
