Cheerios4u98 Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 If this is what’s happening to concerts in the United States I guess I’ll be severely cutting back on concerts. I’ve hardly been to any since COVID started but I always planned on getting back into regular show attendance after a little more distance from the pandemic. Who knows now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve gone to a good amount of shows this year. A lot of them sellouts but none of them were this insane pricing wise or trying to get tickets too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait till we all get refunds from ticketmaster for 2.15$ when their dynamic pricing model gets them sued. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knapppers Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 I feel like I've seen so much on social media about people making comments on how exspensive these tickets are. Feel like it's getting a lot of traction 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan_ Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 Yeah there’s a pretty popular post on r/music right now about Ticketmaster and it’s got a lot to do with people trying to buy blink tickets 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WPGBlink Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 Ticketmaster has always been a fucking dumpster of a company, but I guess I've been out of touch not going to shows recently to realize how bad it has gotten. I keep signing in daily to check on the Toronto floor situation and seeing tickets at $1700 and $2500 Canadian dollars, respectively, has me nearly spitting out my coffee every time. What a bloody joke. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgod Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 Just to compare. I went to Sum 41/Simple Plan this week. Standing ticket for ~ €/$ 55. They did more or less the same tour a few weeks ago in the US and Canada. Did anyone go? How was the pricing over there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotNow Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 As someone said, the blink ticketing debacle is on the front page of Reddit right now. Not a good look for the band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its on Ticketmaster While Ticketmaster is the main problem, apparently there are things artists can do to make it easier for fans to get tickets at a decent price. For instance, I read that Paramore and Ed Sheeran turned off the Platinum ticket option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bull Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 With the exchange rate at the moment it might be cheaper for some of you to fly over to Europe to see them. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I would obviously respect the shit out of that, I would never expect that from a band with such a major hiatus to make up for and if people are willing to pay this absurd amount to see them, hard to really argue with them not accepting the money being thrown at them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
