Those prices were pretty ridiculous. There’s no way they sell even half of those. I’m gonna wait til closer to the show and grab some off stub hub, I’m sure they’re will be thousands available. 

The price of these tix is crazy. Sadly I think people will pay these crazy prices. Great double bill but not paying $400 to be in the first 10 rows. My 5th row floor centre floor tix for The Who were cheaper than these!

$400 for ANYONE seems crazy to me.

We got lower bowl seats for $80...
kind of high, but with Modest Mouse on the bill too,
it will be worth it.

Damn! I would have pulled for that price. Lower bowl atlanta was all $120 still

We are in Section 112...Row J 
just where the curve starts in the arena.

wow...will definitely try StubHub. those tickets were pricey.

Houston was 150/each before fees for good seats in lower bowl.  I pulled the trigger, but I really don’t think they’re worth it.  

Seeing all the Presales make me thankful for the way Pj operates.  The Black Keys are charging extra for isle seats and 2k per ticket for close floor seats.

This is my plan as well. $170 each for side stage in MN. Not worth it to me.

Any lower pair I pulled was $300 after fees. I’m sure prices will plummet on stub hub closer to the show

That's what I'm thinking as well.

That’s the ticketing vendors, not necessarily the band in particular, that are charging more for aisle seats and also closer seats. Ticketmaster/Live Nation’s new “Platinum” pricing for better seats means they flex the price based on demand. 
I tried the pre-sale mainly for sport and there were initially some closer floor seats at standard price of $119.50 + fees, but when I tried to cart them and process the transaction, it kept saying “another fan beat you to those tickets.” Now everything available in the close sections on the floor and lower bowl is listed as Platinum and priced higher.

Curious to know how the price of a Platinum ticket is split between the band and ticket platform/promoter, specifically how much extra, if any, the band gets.

Just this past weekend,
I saw two rows of these "Platinum" seats pop up the Saturday before the Gary Clark Jr. show on Monday night. 
They were in rows 1 & 3 and a block of 8 seats in each row.
I'm guessing these were originally production tickets or friends & family holds.
I would certainly hope the band gets a big cut of these ticket dollars!!

It’s simple to me I’m not paying a couple of hundred dollars to see any band period !

Holy shit these ticket prices are nuts.  I definitely want to go but will be waiting for stubhub as the show gets closer.

Saw them open for PJ back in 06.. Listened to them A LOT for a while after that.. Even bought merch, which I normally only do for PJ..
Their newer stuff though.. It just doesn't do anything for me.. It's too fuzzy and over produced.. Hi/lo is the same way sadly..

I miss the raw sound of the early albums

PJ_Soul

They were really just writing it in with their last couple of albums IMHO. I hope they've improved from that.

These ticket prices are just unreal...
and it looks like a lot of folks agree!!
This is what's left on the front section of the floor for the show in Columbus after the TM Verified Fan presale, CitiBank presale, Nationwide Arena presale, local radio station presale & the first day of general ticket sales.



There are whole sections in the upper bowl & club level that are barely touched too!

Besides the ticket prices, I hate how early tickets go on sale for some of these shows. Buying tickets in March for a show in November? Give me a solid 4 months instead, and I’d probably end up spending more too.
