Metallica has started adding full concert videos now along with the audio releases for shows, starting with July 6 show, on the Nugs.net app. Don’t know if every subscriber has access as I bought my subscription through a Metallica sale

    They're also releasing way more vault shows at a faster pace than PJ. 
    Found: Soundgarden Hyde Park DVD (Thank you for the gift!)

    Selling concert tickets on the secondary market to make more money while acting like their concert tickets are reasonably priced?

    If they're doing what I've wished for it would be making a great late career album.  But then for me the thread title would have to be be "Dinosaur Jr [or The Who or Nick Cave or Juliana Hatfield or David Bowie did]  is doing what we all wished for".  I have not given up hope on that happening.

    I think PJ might be in the minority that doesn't do that. 

    On the flip side Metallica runs the equivalent of the digital 10c membership for free.  Any fans who put it a minor amount of effort wouldn't have a problem getting face value tickets.   They help the dedicated fans and take advantage of the casuals :)

    They do long tours though, covering most countries. So. Better a pricey ticket and get to see a show, than never getting one close by?

    And their last album is really good with a few instant classic.

    There are downsides to a free fanclub. They don’t look at seniority when it comes to fanclub ticket sales. So absolutely anyone can enter a minute before the sale starts. Where’s the fan advantage in that?

    PJ needs to do the Phish model. Live stream every show , have an app with all the live audio available that you can stream, and give free show downloads away with tickets.

    Its still a much better system than a private distribution of all the good seats to the same fans tour after tour, limiting supply for everyone else and driving up resale prices much higher than other big bands.


    And... pretending upper deck has the same value as front of house. "10C the absolute worst system in rock."

    That's half true.  If you were a paid member before it went free you got legacy status which means you go ahead of the plebs.   That being said I hadn't really heard of many issues of people having that hard of a time getting tickets.

    I've been in the free club for a while, never had an issue with tickets. Floor GA for the stadium shows and great seats for arena shows.

    That’s what I am saying.  I figured everyone would be too busy watching porn.  I guess there are some weirdos out there  not watching porn all day.

    You're entering a world of porn.
