Also I don’t think a “true” solo tour would be much better. I mean like I said above Clairo on the Sling Tour was charging $60 (half of the tier 1 price!) and Maggie Rogers, who I would say is close in popularity to BG, is charging $90 in Chicago, with only one opener, so it’s not like a solo tour not part of this concert series would be way cheaper anyways.

I just think it’s a great deal but I may be biased because I like all 4 acts haha

 

I think it's less a matter of fair or reasonable, what's fair I don't fucking know haha, more so that all of a sudden shows got more expensive for the most part and it sucks

 

This is very true, it’s why I did not pay $60 for Clairo last year and am not paying $90 to see Maggie Rogers lol

 

I don't think it's overpriced, I think it's overpriced for me. My price range is based on personal factors I've already described. I think comparing it to the supposed sum of individual tours is silly for reasons other have already described.

Prices for resale tix for people like Taylor or Beyonce, that's a different problem.

 

I don’t think it’s fair to say that Phoebe, Julien and Lucy charge X amount each, therefore the price of Boygenius is reasonable. You’re not getting 3 separate sets from them, they’re one act, playing songs from that specific act.

If Transplants went on tour and were charging $200 a ticket, you wouldn’t say “well Travis with Blink is typically $150 and Tim with Rancid is typically $50, therefore the price is fair!”

 

Seeing Phoebe (Philly), Julien (NYC), and Lucy (NYC) in 2021 cost me $180.29

Seeing them as one supergroup for $210.75 in 2023 with three additional acts also getting full sets isn’t something I was thrilled to pay, nor do I agree with the weird price tier structure at Forrest Hills, but it doesn’t seem that crazy compared to some of the other shows of late.

 

I agree with the others that you can't really think of their 3 respective sets when here they perform 1 set together. Also, all of those tours mentioned supposedly have some supporting acts too. I saw Julien on tour last year with Ratboys in London, which was perfect. Phoebe in Berlin didn't have any support last year (or maybe I just drew a blank now), but let's put this into perspective - BOCC in Berlin just before the pandemic hit was like 40$ - should I think how much I'd pay to see Phoebe and Bright Eyes seperately? Also, Christian Lee Hutson held a perfect support act, which should be taken into the account too.

I'd say I have to second the notion that maybe it's not that overpriced in general for the time being, as it just is overpriced for me - most times I'm gonna prefer to catch 4 smaller acts on 4 different trips for the same amount of money altogether

If they mess with that enough to force people to re-purchase or something I'll be livid.

 

That's so weird. Guess I'm glad I got tickets to Columbus.

 

There's no chance that they would require this.

 

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would die for that show

 

somewhere out there, at least a dozen queer people just passed out at this announcement. acquiring tickets to this thing will be a bloodbath.

 

I am one of those queer people

Boygenius/MUNA/Ethel is PERFECT

 

including ethel is so fucking fucked. i'm physically ill that this isn't in the states

 

The park can hold 20k-40k from a search. I don't think it will be a bloodbath to get a ticket to that.

 

I guess I really need to get around to listening to Ethel Cain huh? The name has been unavoidable lately

 

Ethel Cain is awesome, listen to Preacher's Daughter immediately.

 

you are going to loooove her

 

I'm not the only one who didn't get the memo phew

 

I haven’t, either. So I guess I need to catch up.

 

Alright she's queued up, I'll report back later

 

Same. Don’t think I’ll be disappointed

 

Ok, this isn’t bad. It’ll scratch an itch, just not sure which one it hits.
