he's totally worth it, but its tough considering face is $35
(and i've spent too much $$ on other shows (rage, bjork, bright eyes)...
I talked to box office guy and he also said no dice on more tix being released
I'm still going to go and try my luck day of the show
maybe someone will take pity on us fans??

yeah, it's especially tough to justify for someone like me who's already going to his philly and baltimore shows.

not that going to baltimore in the middle of the week is easy to justify...

but i actually passed on rage tickets when i saw that they were gonna be around $100 each through ticketmaster. i really like rage, but the logic in my head told me that i'd rather see chris cornell for a third time. stupid decision? arguably. but it was mine to make...

i'm not counting on having any luck at the venue, but stranger things have happened if you wanna try it. when pearl jam played irving plaza last year, there was a girl sitting outside with a sign that said "i need a ticket." she was there for a few hours, and then eventually somebody just walked by and handed one to her.

the scalpers at the venue will likely be charging just as much as they are right now. the prices will come down, but not until after he takes the stage... and that's kind of a buzzkill.

I'm going to the Austin, Tx show. =]

After trying to get tix for the Dallas show on ticketmaster and getting shut out I really thought that I wouldn't get to see this show...but I just happened to check ebay the other day and found a pair of tix for $50! Thats right, 2 tix, $50 bucks Can't wait to see this show!!!!

This in my email today:

"Hello Chris Cornell fans! We're thrilled that you'll
be attending Wednesday's Yahoo! Music concert taping
and we have even better news: WE'VE DECIDED TO EXTEND
THE INVITATION TO EVEN MORE FANS.

So go ahead and invite up to TWO more friends and send
us their names.

ASAP, limited number of spaces.

A Chris Cornell exclusive concert! No one wants to
miss this!"

So that's them asking me for two more names to add to tonight's LA guest list.

Any takers?

Where is this Yahoo thing? I might be interested if its Northeast US.

didn't think my post was cause for any ranting. is rage worth it? YES
Is it whole day event with other amazing artists? yes
Am i psyched to go and that they're back together? YES
Will i be stuck in traffic longer then the artists play? dbl YES

but that aside, $100 a tkt is alot IMO (not just rage, i paid same for bjork too) I want artists to make $$ and live good lives, but I also think its important to price fairly so audience is not lmtd to people with the bucks to spend
citing chris as an example, someone I place higher then rage, his tkt price $35
and yes i know scalpers are having a field day...but at least he's trying to keep prices reasonable and affordable

rebuttal over
and thanks I will are you going? if you are, hope you have a good show too..

it's all good... shit, tickets are expensive these days, no getting over that, with gas prices rising it's not cheap to move all that gear around the country... as for chris cornell, i appreciate him keeping his tickets low, although my tickets for toronto were $45, not sure if that was american or canadian, haven't checked my bank statement yet, but in the grand scheme of things would pay just about whatever was charged to see any one of my favorite bands live...you could just think of it this way, take that 35 for the cornell show and multiply it by three, rock the bells has rage, wu tang, and the roots atop the bill... not that bad for 30 bucks a band, not to mention the others on the bill... yeah, looking at the $100 bucks after fees seems like a lot, but compare that to what your getting in return and i think it's a great deal

sorry, I get a little defensive on here when people suggest that bands are in in for the money alone, especially bands that have spent their careers doing nothing but good and treating their fans well, taking money from the fans with high ticket prices... people here bitched and moaned about the ticket prices for the 2006 pj tour, wondering why they weren't as cheap as the 2003 tour... is anything as cheap as it was in 2003?


and I'll be at the randall's show one way or another, that $100 ticket kept me from buying right away, i had just spent money on cornell, modest mouse, and lolla tix so I figured that I would wait a few days to get them... but it turns out they sold out in seven minutes, so as of right now I have no tickets, but I'll be there

and I really meant it, enjoy the show! it's gunna be sick!

Got my London Astoria tickets, fucking a!!
