    Either way, the buses have to get from one show to the next. Why would they fly every single member of the crew to each and every show when the buses are going there anyways...OR...maybe they fly the buses, too? :D

    Why are you being a smart ass? Who said the road crew flew with the band?

    Come on. I understand the pricing, but wasnt the whole ticketmaster thing about keeping prices around 20.00 a show for the fans?

    Now I get that 20.00 is now 30.00 15 years later, but where does the other 47.00 come from? Ticket fees are what? 5-10? Gas is expensive I guess. So maybe that's the increase. I get not wanting sponsors, but what the hell is the point in keeping your integrity if it keeps fans at home?

    can't they just get a "blue" sponsor?
    20.00 is close to 75, serioulsy.

    15 years ago, I was buying gas for 89 to 99 cents a gallon. (today, 3.50)
    15 Years ago, Taco Bell had 3 prices on it's entire menu, .59, .79, .99 (today, 3.99 highest item)
    15 Years ago, Oil changes for $14.99 for the works (today, 42.99)
    15 years ago you could take a date to the move for 10, (today, 30..easy)
    Thes example are 300% mark-up or close to it.
    15 years ago, PJ tickets were 25 bucks, today 75...you do the frakin' math
    Cuyahoga Falls 98, Columbus 00, Cleveland 03, Columbus 03, Toledo 04, Grand Rapids 04, Kitchener 05, Cleveland 06, Cincinnati 06, Washington DC 08, Philadelphia IV 09, Columbus 10, Cleveland 10, Chicago 13, Pittsburgh 13, Cincinnati 14, Chicago (1) 16, Chicago (2) 16

    Is there any way we could all agree to agree to disagree and lock this thread? It's making everyone here ANGRY and overshadowing the tour. It's obvious there are two sides of this ticket price thing and fighting about it isn't going to change the ticket price.

    what exactly is bothering you about the tix?

    too expensive? don't buy tix

    songs lost their meaning to you? don't listen OR better yet write your own songs.

    Is it maybe that you put too much faith into a band?

    None of the above....I can afford the tix and still enjoy their music. I am really not too wrapped up with the band like some people around here. I just get tired of everyone around here saying PJ and specifically the 10C is so great and they can do no wrong. Anytime someone makes a critical comment around here the fanboys jump all over you for it.

    It's also a bit hypocritical for them to preach about low ticket prices, write songs about the poor working man, etc.

    Thanks to lowbudgetlush for this link I'm about to post, that apparently everyone conveniently skipped over when it was published on page 4.

    Assuming this is not fallacious and has remained somewhat consistent since the Riot Act tour, I have a difficult time feigning sympathy for these inane ticket prices. Six pages of bullshit rock star excess demands, all the way from the furniture they require in their dressing room right down to the kind of fruit they expect to have on their banquet tables and the ratio of Heineken to local beer they expect in their coolers. How does the song go again? "G-R-E-E-D, G-R....."
    the extra $30 from your ticket is paying for their beer and fruit

    feel better now?
