fingertalkin Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I read that one in the comics this morning. Pretty funny. They aren't lying though. I wanted to go see Clapton and Winwood on their tour.....after being learned by Jeremy....but the tix were almost 3 bills a piece. How do you sign a computer screen?

Bottom End Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 As ticket prices go higher, the nuber of "must-see" artists decreases, especially because I usually have a 5 hour round trip to and from the DC/MD area for a lot of the touring venues. I'd rather see 3 $50 shows than 1 $150 show.

1111000 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I'm pretty sure tickets to see the Eagles earlier this year STARTED at $250... those were the nosebleed seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d halfnote Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 It's nice to see Trudeau commenting on music using fresh characters rather than Jimmy Thudpucker. The worst part of high ticket prices is they're seldom available at face value, having been snapped up by speculators. d=halfnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst part of high ticket prices is they're seldom available at face value, having been snapped up by speculators. My quick tale of triumph over scalpers. LAst year I went to see Rush in Atlantic City. The best tickeyts were sold out, but there were still tickets. Too scalpers hit me and my buddy up to buy their tickets, at about $50 over face value. Just as we were haggling, Rush starts playing. We turned to the scalpers and said,"Every note they play, the value goes down". We wound up buying the tix at about $50 UNDER face value. Great seats, great show, and more money in our pockets for beer.

picker Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I wonder if it's too late for me to achieve enough "overness" to be a hit? Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great seats, great show, and more money in our pockets for beer. Very smart, way to turn it around. Years ago before I'd ever even made it to my first Tool show (they used to be, and in some ways still are, my favorite group of artists), I don't remember how many times Ticketmaster looked away as scalpers gobbled up ALL of the tickets offered to any of their shows. It took me four years of trying to finally get a good ticket and see them. For some reason I've never had the problem with any other groups.

ZZ Thorn Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Scalpers are my friends - like Bottom End said you just have to miss a bit of the start. I've been to plenty of Chicago Cub baseball games, Bulls baskethball and Blackhawk hockey games and I doubt I ever paid face value - they become worthless pieces of paper pretty quickly and the scalpers know it. I never tried with Da Bears tho - they're too popular. Never tried with a concert either. http://www.myspace.com/themoustachioed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d halfnote Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Re: scalping, etc. It doesn't happen dependably & usually occurs in smaller markets but sometimes venues & promoters hold tickets for friends-of-band, etc. If unclaimed by performance date these are offered for sale at face value. I found out about this when I once misplaced a ticket, called the venue to see if/how I could get in. d=halfnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found out about this when I once misplaced a ticket, called the venue to see if/how I could get in. Yeah I heard about this from the husband of a colleague. He (the husband) used to do security for tons of bands and venues and said there's usually still tickets at the door, whether it says "sold out" or not. Haven't tried it out myself, though.
