Fenway ticket prices went up substantially.  $188 for a pair in 2016 and $247 now.  That's an increase of $29.50 per ticket.  

I was a little shocked at the drastically increased prices. Seattle was $259 a pair.

Seattle also takes into account an extra $10 to fight  homelessness in the area.

Prices are more than I expected for sure, are taxes and fees still to be added or is this the set/final price?

Wow, lots of talk about higher prices. Compared to other bands, they are the cheapest ticket for a major act.

Now, to charge the same price for front of house and nose bleeds? There's something worth mentioning.

Will there be a separate entrance for Ten Club members only?  We're going to need to show ID and that's going to slow things down!

I'm not even complaining, but I have to disagree. These aren't cheap for a major act. I've seen many major acts recently for way less than that.

This is correct, but just to be clear, you will have to cancel your picks, and pick again.   You cant edit your current picks.   

its not a big deal, because as long as you do this before the deadline, its fine.

Comparable bands that have been around nearly 30 years that easily sell out charge $200-$1000 for front of house tickets.

McCartney, Elton, Guns, Metallica, Joel and U2 all way over $123 face for prime tickets. Just off the top of my head. Way over.

Some. But others that are just as comparable have $80 GA tickets (U2 for example), so I don't think that the whole "but so-and-so overcharges too" excuse is a very good one personally, lol. Two wrongs don't make a right!

U2 msg was $330+SC each for upper deck later this year on TM. I wish I was joking.

Every U2 show I know of had cheaper upper upper seats when they went onsale.  Ticketmaster now RE-sells a lot of seats so it looks like they are being sold the first time on the venue site but they're re-sells, so maybe that's what you were looking at, but I don't know of any U2 shows that went onsale and had the cheapest tix of the original sale be much over $100.00.

No, for this tour, some of the balconies in the middle of the arena have a face value of $325.00 ($330 at MSG due to a $5.00 facility fee), the seats that would have a straight on view of the giant screen. Basically all the "sideline" sections, the lower rows.

I'm not talking about all the seats or specific seats - the point I was making was that I don't know a show where the cheapest ticket was $325.  What city & venue are you talking about, and are you saying there were no tickets sold for cheaper than $325?

I don't think anyone says they are cheap, but we are pretty far away from U2 and Guns N Roses prices they could easily command

I'm talking face value not resale

It looks like u2 added another show and dropped their prices. Scouts honor face was $331 + SC for 200 level a month ago. I recall entire sections for that same amount to the penny. I guess they needed to clear tix to add a third date. Even the "reduced" prices way above PJ:

Platinum Tickets

LOWER BOWL SEATING

Sec 103, Row 7, Seats 12-13

$260.00 + Fees


That's all the way on the far side of the arena. Each.

LOWER BOWL SEATING

Sec 105, Row 7

• Standard Admission

  $331.00 ea + Fees
  
  
  

105 is a Mile from the stage

Crazy. I was about 7 feet from the stage for the Joshua Tree tour last year and my tickets were about $76 CAD each, plus fees (still under $100 CAD).

We get shafted in NYC. Tix are impossibly expensive and we have to compete with "the industry" for prime seats.

 CAD- I was all set to describe those section 103 tickets as they are at "the lonely end of the rink"
