    I thought €180 was for a pair of tickets.  The price point for Ten Club members is way too high.

    "nevermind what they're selling. it's what you're buying"

    the shows are still packed. until we all collectively say NO MORE. then prices will continue to rise.

    The insane prices are obviously why they decided to allow single tickets to be sold this time. 360 for a pair-could practically get a week holiday for that!

    I think Ticketmaster are trying to build up hype with the registration thing. Almost 180 Euro is seriously expensive. I would imagine a lot will skip at that price. 
    You are spot on with the registration thing. There have been many shows recently that have had extra shows added even before tickets have been on sale. Probably down to multiple accounts requesting access to the sales.

    The concert market is basically turning into a situation where the only feasible way to see live performances is by going to festivals. Tickets are still outrageous but at least you get to see multiple bands. 

    I've looked into seeing Tool, Ringo Starr, Lil' Wayne, Noah Kahan, Metallica, Tyler Childers, The National......all well over $100, most over $150 and some over $200. I can't justify that for a random show in Indianapolis or Columbus. 

    I got single day tickets to Bourbon & Beyond for roughly $150 and Tyler Childers, MMJ, The National, The War on Drugs, The Beach Boys, Lucious, Dinosaur Jr...etc will all be there that day and the way they stagger their lineups it allows you to see all of the bigger bands. 

    You're better off paying $3-$500 and doing a multi-day fest than spending half that money to see one band.

    Coldplay tickets were incredibly expensive too for
     Croke Park.  They got the pricing point completely wrong here imo.  Almost 350 for 2 tickets is not great. Plus all general admission too. Its the nature of the beast in 2024 unfortunately.

    i wish i wish i wish i wish, i guess it never stops

    Do we think this will sell out. Hate the idea of registering for the general sale as I always miss out and placed on the wait list. 
    considering it's been 14 years to the day; I'd imagine it'll sell out

    I registered but am in two minds whether to keep it or delete it.  To add to that, if I keep it and GA ends up being cheaper I'll be absolutely ragin'.  In Marlay Park there really is no difference between 'golden circle' or GA...

    e180 to stand in a field - have we lost the run of ourselves altogether!  =)

    Some one mentioned that the tickets will be 117e on TM. Not sure how true that is and that would be just for GA, not the golden circle.

    Tickets from €69.50 including booking fees - SMASHING PUMPKINS in dublin this summer.

    i am saying it because there are ppl talking about costs etc. it is a pure greed, nothing else.

    Sure is. ACDC went on sale this morning. €180 for gold circle at the start of the sale and now its €440 for the same ticket and that is not even a bullshit platinum ticket.

    Dynamic pricing - same thing as platinum. 
    London went from £145 to £305 last time I looked. 
    The secret to a happy ending is knowing when to roll the credits

    Just looking there. Prices are insane! Seated tickets in the lower stand in line with the back of the GC are €410. There's no way they are going to sell out tickets at that price.

    Where is the line?  Is Pearl Jam supposed to charge what Smashing Pumpkins charges?  Well, you can probably find a band that charges less than Smashing Pumpkins.   And when Pearl Jam tickets sell out for $70 a pop, and people scalp them for $300, is that a great result?  The scalpers get all the money? 

    It's 2024.  Things cost more.  PJ's "big" travel year is 30 shows.  They want to make money, and they have people lining up to pay $180 to see them.  Just gotta deal with it.  Every industry out there.   Better products, better service, whatever usually means more expensive as more demand.  They've earned it.  

    A lot of people pissed about paying $180 are probably spending $800 on airfare and $800 on 3 nights hotels.  All to see Pearl Jam, but the main reason for going (Pearl Jam), which is the lowest cost of the trip, is what people get pissed off about.

    So fight the scalpers, in various ways. Instead of giving in and becoming one. Like roleplaying this GIF is some natural order that should be praised:





    But your last point, is true and funny in that context

    I have noticed this, and also going to multiple shows in multiple countries.
