I refuse to pay over a $100 . We been watching the Eric Church tickets. They are down to 80 now. About 120 with “fees” . Just not paying those prices. Where does it end? Mainly going to see 80, 90’s, country bands . They are still reasonably priced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same we’ve never paid more than a 100 a ticket. We usually go to smaller venues and bands we listen to aren’t extremely popular today like say Taylor swift. I sure as hell wouldn’t be paying 21k to see Taylor swift fucking idiots 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally wouldn't pay that much, but to see those 2 together when there may never be another opportunity to I couldn't resist, and Willy just didn't think he would still be alive. I mostly have gone for 70's groups, Dylan, McCartney, Frampton, Rod, to name a few, saw BB King, Robert Palmer, and Joe Cocker shortly before they all died that influences my willingness to pay extra.

XCR1250 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 When I was a Teen the Dance/Music place I went to every week had some pretty big name singers there some days, when The Beatles came out we were asked how much we'd be willing to pay to have them come there, everyone raised their hand up to $8 when it got to $10 no one raised their hand, that was 1964.

King was beyond words great, the common talk among everyone there was that it felt like he was putting on the concert 1on 1 for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriftBusta Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I can get all the music I need from Spotify, Pandora, or YouTube. Ticket prices have gotten insane the last few years. Last concert I went to was Joe Bonamassa at the Bushnell, which is a small venue. And if memory serves a ticket, were 100 bucks. And he’s one of the best guitarists in the world. I would not spend $10 to go see Taylor Swift lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Always get pit tickets if we go to a show. Think $125 we paid for 5FDP and In This Moment (great show from a band I had never heard of) and $100 for Shinedown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted June 3, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted June 3, 2023 And then there's stories of people not even remembering the concerts. I can't imagine having to rely on some shitty cell phone video you took while wearing a soggy diaper 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anler Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 My son is on his way to the concert right now. He didn't pay anything and he is in a skybox with some other people. I wonder how much they paid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
