requested San Diego and LA. The San Diego show is actually in El Cajon were I live. I cant believe EV is playing 5 minutes from my house, WTF? No way this is true, haha!
Could be a harbinger of ticket prices moving forward.
- Musicians and venues lost over an entire year of business.
- The cost of doing the business of events has to be higher. Labor (and finding labor); insurance must be higher; and now with inflation… everything is more expensive.

I put it for Night 2 Seattle tickets. I'll get my wife to put in for night 1. Fingers crossed. Would love to see a show or two.
As for the prices. Meh, I paid more to see GNR in Seattle 5 years ago, and to see the Stones in Seattle 2 years ago. They're small venues, so I guess it makes a little sense?
I have been curious what was going to happen to ticket prices after artists haven't been able to tour for 2 years.
Smaller venue bigger price makes sense to me. I think the average show here is like 3500 people if that.
FWIW.....Nick Cave getting $393 for an orchestra seat at Auditorium Theater......Nick F'ing Cave. Previous Ed shows were just Ed and a couple guitars. He's now employed a full band. Tix are never going to get cheaper.

It's a weak argument when you look at Foo Fighters playing stadiums and charging $40 for nosebleeds and $130 for GA right in front of the stage.
I've been to 4 concerts since things opened up and prices have been pretty close to normal.

this is what tickets are going to be for this level of artist, and like most of these ticket price complaints people only talk about the most expensive tickets and ignore that there will be cheaper tickets.
my wife does events for a living the cost on putting in any event right now is insane.

… then play larger venues…
Larger venues don't suit an EV show at all.

I agree if this was one man band Ed. This is Ed fronting a full on rock band. Bigger venues would suit them just fine.

I paid $76 face for a My Morning Jacket orchestra ticket there a month ago. It's not a venue thing, it's a decision made by the artist / management.
For anyone who completed the process, where do you enter your charge card info in? I just see name and address but I dont see where you can add your actual CC info. Thanks!!
Hit next and it will ask for credit card.

Ed will ask for, and get, $199 for a lower level ticket at Auditorium Theater. That's the price of the meat. If you don't want steak for dinner keep walking down the meat aisle until you reach the hot dogs. You'll probably find Liam Gallagher there mumbling to himself.

There are no hot dogs available. If they were, I'd be scarfing one down, Chicago style.
How many of us don’t even really like the singles but are still going on faith alone?
The day I leave disappointed from a show is the day I’ll stop buying.
"The day I leave disappointed from a show is the day I'll stop buying" - THIS IS IT!!! Been saying it since first show in '95 and haven't stopped me yet.

Glen Hansard is a real treat to see too though. That is an opener that has to be seen, and he definitely adds to an EV show too IMO.

That's a hard pass. Especially if Chad Smith is drumming.
ISO Hollywood & Nashville 2 tickets. PM me to coordinate a drop!
