    Not all are like that, though.  Was able to see War on Drugs, MMJ, Wilco, and QOTSA in the last year, all for under $60  Granted, they were in venues that held at most 5,000 people.  
    I like all of these bands, but none of them come anywhere close in terms of popularity to PJ and Radiohead.  At a festival, PJ and Radiohead headline while the bands you mentioned are second or third line bands.

    I agree with the popularity statement, but Wilco, MMJ and Queens are all headliners at this point.

    Maybe some of the newer and smaller festivals they can pass as a headliner but no way they'd be the top billing at Lolla, Coachella, Bonnaroo, ACL and the other big ones.

    Queens played my hometown arena last month.  It only holds a max of about 6000 people.   PJ would never slum it and play my 6000 seat home arena :)

    Just bailed on buying tickets to see Greta Van Fleet because with fees, they are just shy of $50 each to see them at the Cleveland Agora.  I'm okay to pay that for a more established band and admit that CD102.5 "Trust Us" concert series and Holiday Show where tickets were $10.25 + fees (making them a lil over $15 each) has spoiled me.  We've seen some great bands for cheap!  A 2 hour drive for an inexpensive concert works for me.  I will admit that the cheapest tickets we have gotten in recent years were $5.50 to see Car Seat Headrest and Lucy Dacus at the Rock Hall atrium.

  • For Radiohead you get this (although this was the stage a couple of years ago). Looking forward to see what they do this time. I might go to both Toronto shows since they switch up their setlists. I have GA for night 2 already.

    I got 1st row upper level for Smashing Pumpkins for around $100...ehh.. I guess I'll check it out.

    It really is a great summer for those of us who came of age in terms of music in the 1990's...Pearl Jam...Radiohead...Smashing Pumpkins...U2...Foo Fighters...

    I'd quite like to see Smashing Pumpkins again (finally saw them for the first time on their Oceania promo tour in 2012). However, they are playing in my area (Toronto) on August 8th and I've already purchased tickets to see some other band in Seattle on that very same day. No regrets whatsoever.

    As for Radiohead, fingers crossed that I can get a pair tomorrow morning. That presale did not go well for me at all and I am expecting things won't be much better for the general public sale. We'll see. We'll see.

    Admittedly, I'll take anything tomorrow. I REALLY want to avoid the secondary market for this one ($$$$$$$$).

    Try again! Friends tried at 10, no tickets available then tickets were all over the place.

    Grabbed Radiohead tickets for Chicago, but pricing isn't that different unless you go waaaay back at United Center.
    Radiohead @ United Center, 300 level row 1 = $122 after fees
    Pearl Jam @ Wrigley Field, 10c GA = $124 after fees

    I think people complaining about prices need to stop. We do not want Pearl Jam to start tier pricing. $200 for general admission and front half of lower bowl. $150 front half of upper level. $100 for back of lower bowl. $50 for whats left in the upper bowl.
    Yeah, DMB has completely screwed up Tiered Pricing

    2012 the fan club started selling "Premium Packages" which were the best seats plus parking, poster, swag.  Shortly thereafter they broke the reserve seats into separate pricing tiers, with a difference of only $10.  Previously all reserve seats were assigned by seniority, from front of the venue to the back.  Now, senior members can get stuck in the upper sections thru the "Random" confirmation lottery, and it doesn't look very random; really appears to allow the fan club to get new members up front by putting senior members in the back.

    This year there are 10+ price points across the various venues, and they've completely lost track of it.  Several amphitheater shows listed the following pricing tiers: $115 for Sections 1-3 (Lowers), $85 for Sections 4-8 (Uppers).  Yet once seat assignments came out a week ago, tons of folks confirmed for $115 seats were assigned seats in Sections 4-8  :o

    Last year DMB started allowing TM/LN Platinum Seats

    This year DMB is also allowing TM/LN Verified Resale

    Radiohead is a notoriously hard ticket to score at face, in NYC- Ive had a way harder time seeing them than I have PJ. That said I could easily buy a new car with the money Ive spent seeing them both.  Was stuck in the que for 20 minutes only to get nosebleeds for tuesday and a single for wednesday that took me hours. Still looking for Friday but I'll prob search for a decent single for that for $$$$ I'm sure closer to showtime.  This summer is Incredible in the music department- I feel very fortunate all my fave bands are playing, a very fortunate broke person  ;)

    I'm sure I've posted this in another thread, but this summer is indeed a dream come true if you are a fan of 1990's (alternative/indie) music.

    i am convinced that TM waits 20 minutes before releasing any tickets to thwart the bots, and then they release them in batches. I know they do not do it for all acts, but that is how it seemed to go down yesterday.
