I'm part of the I Got Bugs mailing list, and i've just read some of the emails talking about the prices as if they've been announced already. Am i missing something? Are the ticket prices listed somewhere?

oh, nevermind, that was the 10c link, and thy're for pairs, still $205 for copenhagen is ridiculous, i'd like to remind the band of their early days when they wanted to keep prices at $20 so that the kids would have something to do, what happened to those days? has being rock stars made them forget that we can't all afford that?

Quite a big mound of cash for a face value ticket! Still... Suppose Astoria did cost me an arm and a leg to get one on eBay.
They have acknowledged, at Reading, that they've not been here much. Was kind of hoping they might grace us with their presence for a few UK dates, maybe later in the year?
an arm and a leg... you'll get a great view from the disabled section then dude!

1.Inflation.
2.Cost to get Gear from US to Europe.
3.Then to get Gear across English Channel, twice.
4.The Expensive economies of long-term EU countries.
5.They know most fans can afford these prices, seeing as some will travel across the Atlantic to see one show.
6. Other unforseen reasons.
yeah me neither, its just the nature of gigs these days... you would be lucky to see a big enough band for less than 50 euro.
There's a lot less involved in getting a hockey team or basketball team to a venue... the only stuff they have to carry around are their sticks (or ball) and uniforms!!! It's a costly affair for a band to tour....
pro sports teams have other substantial revenue streams, such as television rights, so thet are not so dependant on gate receipts.
imagine the outcry of pj began scaling their ticket prices so that the cheap seats were $25 and the best seats were $150!
many foreign countries require the promoter withhold foreign entertainers tax of up to 30% of the bands gross fees (or sometimes 30% of the gross, less certain expenses), so the band take a huge hit on foreign taxes.
damn........
i KNEW they'd be pricey though. weak dollar, strong euro and pound.
i WISH they'd announce another UK date!!!
*btw - the weak dollar in comparision to the strong euro and even stronger pound sterling is the 'explanation' of such prices, and yes...foreign band playing...so taxes, etc. it's a costly situation no matter what, and that gets passed on in ticket costs.
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
fair enough, i hadn't thought about about the tv thing with sports. but i don't think that there would be an outcry if they scaled they're prices, that's how most concerts go. is it really fair that the person front and center paid the same price as the person on the fourth level of a stadium where the guys are about an inch tall, and the sound has bounce off the concrete and you can't hear eddie's voice? remember back in the day when pj promised to keep ticket prices low, and took ticketmaster to court because they didn't think that the prices were fair? what happened?
