Cheerios4u98 Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 Yeah fuck that. I want to see them live again so bad, but these prices are outrageous. That combined with no show anywhere near me, I may just be skipping this tour unfortunately. $600 for pit tickets in Seattle ffs. I saw blink in the pit for $60 on their reunion tour. Still over $300 for the worst seats in the venue. Nah, fuck it, I'm not going. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dildo69er Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 its post covid pricing. Think in 2012 they were about 120 each so not toooo nuts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 I saw blink in 2019 for $50 on the lawn and I thought that was expensive for sitting so far away from the stage. Nearly $400 for the absolute worst seats in the house now. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan_ Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 This is the going rate for stadium shows these days unfortunately. I would love blink to play clubs or more intimate venues but there was no chance of that happening with Tom rejoining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 honestly kind of relieved that the prices are so astronomically high that it makes my decision whether to travel to a far away show or not really easy. But also I fear I may never see them live again if prices continue to rise like this. Hey, at least I saw them four times before. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me feel better blink is probably not directly involved, majority of the venues require it to be ticketmaster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know, there’s a whole thread on Reddit now about how the band has control over how Ticketmaster tunes the prices. There’s a lot of other artists that turn off dynamic pricing. An example given was Ed Sheeran where the max price allowed was $200. So Ticketmaster is shitty, but I don’t think the band / label is free from this shit. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Value Coight Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 Dynamic pricing is shit. Glad that ain’t a thing here. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it was said there Pearl Jam tried to do a tour without allowing Ticketmaster and was getting forced into venues in the sticks to continue that year without them. That was 90s though, probably different now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was something that was supposed to go away here too. I thought I read something about Ticketmaster getting in trouble and being forced to change policy but maybe I misread the article or it never came to fruition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have however split the standing area everywhere into a front and back section. Never seen that before and these venues. Pretty shitty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt. Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 The industry as a whole is a joke; ClearChannel is another scum bag company. Popular music isn’t chosen by listeners and fans so much as it paid to be put out on the airwaves. I don’t mind pop music but it’s fucking dishonest as hell. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ghent Posted October 13, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 Whether blink had a say in it or not, the Ticketmaster situation today was absolute bullshit. A complete fake scam to pressure people into spending insane amounts of money. Predatory stuff. I actually don’t think it should be legal. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna hang at the further back parts of the standing section anyway so my gf doesn’t get mangled but having the option to get as close as possible without forking out extra $$ would’ve been nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There a Pit section right at the front of the stage which wasnt even on sale, and then a floor section, which all had row/seat numbers, so not general admission. Never seen that before 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
