Sum 41 Pit tix in Boston are $1582-feign-reluctance said:That's where things are.

Also paid 160 Cdn for Pit tickets, Lawns were $60.Tim Simmons said:Yeah, I just got a National/War On Drugs ticket for $150, so we can relax about where PJ priced them (non dynamic of course)
Yep. All the bands. LOL! I'd go seem them for that price for nostalgia purposes!Eddieredder said:Sum 41 Pit tix in Boston are $1582-feign-reluctance said:That's where things are.

30 years ago! That is mistake. They have been doing business with TM since 1998. They are buying into a myth that has not existed for a long time.PJNB said:I think a lot of people expect Pearl Jam to be an outlier as well with their past history.Get_Right said:Do not hate the players, hate the game.

Stones
Rear GA $200+ (plus fees)
This is exactly it. The hypocrisy is that we have changed a lot (all of us). Yet they are expected to stay exactly the same.

Just looked... (forgot about the presale) and they have platinum tickets for $390 all over the lower levels in Chicago. They also have $400-$500 "soundcheck" and early access packages near the front. Their GA area is set at just under $300.Tim Simmons said:Yeah, I just got a National/War On Drugs ticket for $150, so we can relax about where PJ priced them (non dynamic of course)
You are indeed! I need to read more carefully. I am so sorry about my chippy reply! Boy, what does that say about me today! LOL!Eddieredder said:I'm not arguing.

Paging @The JugglerMD190661 said:I actually think it's insane that people will pay $200 or more for crap seats for these bands listed in this thread. I can understand paying a premium for very good seats. Otherwise I'd rather go see a jazz show for $30.
If only there were some major global event since 2018 that dramatically changed all kinds of things that could begin to explain that.PJNB said:I am not talking about 30 years ago.
