Ticket price perspective (ACDC)
Comments

On TM right now, yes they are. But I bought front pit tickets from Giga & Tours for £145 each including fees. General standing were £130.
Let's see how much TM charge for PJ standing tickets when general release go on sale next week0 -

I'm pretty shocked at the prices for PJ too but this adds a little perspective.0 -
Tyle Childers is playingthe same week as PJ in Missoula and charging more. It’s never going back and $200’is the new normal 😢0

$185 isn't so bad compared to other bands. Just think all they people they need to pay. Divide their profit by 6. Just skip a few Chipotle burritos and ticket paid for :-) Life if is only going to get more expensive with 35 trillion in debt and counting, 1 trillion in debt payments every year. Unfortunately cost of living only going to get worse0

My first concert in college was AC/DC in 2000, paid $23 for that ticket. Was an amazing show. I used to see Better than Ezra a few times a year for $20 during the 2000s.
I remember passing up some great bands because I didn't want to pay around $60 at the time. Bands I wish I saw like U2 and RHCP.
But now the norm is to pay more for tickets. They know people are willing to pay more for live music, so they charge more,
I don't blame anyone, if I had a business I'd maximize my profits too.

Apparently in the concert industry we still haven't hit that point. Will we hit that point? How much are the masses (even people with the disposable) able/willing to pay. I've been astonished that the demand doesn't seem to abate. We all love concerts so much0 -

I forget sometimes that we grew up with the evolution of ticketing the rise of TM. Most of us going to concerts for decades know the ins and outs.Post edited by Zod on0 -

Concerts are more expensive now. Thats just a reality. Perspective, I've seen tix start at $250-300 more recently for artists/bands nowhere close to PJ. In comparison $175 isn't that bad.0
-
- Main Pitch Standing: £115
- Front Pitch Standing: £130
- Seats: £55 - £145
So how about that perspective?225xxx - 6/28/00, 10/20/01, 10/22/01, 9/11/06, 9/22/06, 9/23/06, 6/18/07, 6/26/07, 8/15/09, 6/25/10, 6/30/10, 7/4/12, 7/5/12, 7/7/12, 7/10/12, 6/26/14, 6/28/14, 7/3/18, 7/5/180 -

If it's a pit in front of the stage and its a big band, $300 is very fair. It's charging nearly $200 for junk seats in the upper corner of the 300 level that is a bit much for me.

I'm not sure why you're making a connection between the national debt and cost-of-living increases. The national debt has been on a steady upward trajectory since the 1980s. For most of that period, until the economic disruption caused by COVID, the U.S. generally enjoyed low inflation.I gather speed from you fucking with me.0
