wait is that word automatically edited on here?

 

Yes Jason does some things right

hi Jason if you see this I’m just playin

 

I’m fine with paying $220 for tickets at MSG for Bruce (Considering I paid $200 for John Mayer and $300 for Blink for worse seats)

But they’re also my favorite artists of all time in my favorite venue so it is what it is.

 

Let's put all this shit in perspective.

 

congrats on the great seat Craig!

 

the service fee on that alone is more than the combined total cost of the two resale tickets I bought this wk to see bruce in columbus

anyway, yes I'm going! just gonna have to wait a few wks longer than I would have for the KC date

 

This is just what the music industry is now. Best way to protest it is to vote with your wallet and not spring for idiotic shit like the above. Again, a lot of tickets for this tour were priced at a very reasonable rate. Calling Bruce a "money grubbing ****" is such a fucking idiotic oversimplification of a complex situation. Do you have any idea how many people work on a tour like this? Do you know where said people were getting their paychecks when live music was nonexistent? Do we think this band is touring ever again? The reasonable answer to all these questions is "No." So yeah, I'm not mad at him raising the prices a bit.

 

lolo no offense to the Queen Bey, but you know I would never pay 10 percent of that price to be at one of her shows.

Hell yeah, we'll be at the same show!

 

spending over $4300 on a ticket and still electing to deal with WILL CALL at a beyonce concert is a truly staggering decision

 

That person is in for a world of pain. For multiple reasons.

 

you not doing detroit?

 

No, my sister lives in Columbus, so making the trip for a visit.

 

wild that backstreets looks like a nightly staple so far. I know eventually he’ll change it up but typically its like, youre lucky to get either backstreets or jungleland and most nights you get neither

 

It’s not though, truly it’s not. Especially given how his team is probably the best in the business, and probably tours as cheaply as anyone can at their level.

I love Bruce, he’s my favorite artist of all time. I have an entire wall in my home dedicated to the dude and his tours.

But it’s not ‘a bit’. My rail ticket that was $110 10 years ago, and then $220 6 years ago, is now $5,000. If you’re lucky, it’s only $600 - $1000 in your market.

Even factoring in all those circumstances you stated above, it’s absolutely outrageous.

The Stones don’t charge what most of these dates went for.

Bruce has enough money for a hundred lifetimes. None of the demand pricing was necessary. Him nor most(?) of his band are needing to make up for lost Covid wages. It’s just greed, man.

again, floor tickets for two nights of Metallica in a stadium full of pyro and a massive stage setup with HUGE OVERHEAD cost me $360 flat.

again, it’s greed. And it’s a bummer.

 

using the platinum surge pricing as what tickets costs is just so misleading and i hate that everyone does this to try to prove their point

 

"Money grubbing c--t" is not the phrasing I would use, but he is absolutely an insanely wealthy person who didn't want to settle for simply making an incredibly large amount of money this tour and instead wanted to go for even more than that. When hundreds of millions of dollars in profits isn't enough and you want even more than that, I don't think using the word 'greed' is out of line at all.

 

I truly hate that THIS is what we’re talking about (obviously I’m still making posts about it), rather than about the tour.

Which they’re absolutely fucking killing it on.

But the bad taste is hard to get out.

 

I mean, if we are going to talk about the $5,000 tickets, then we have to talk about Ticketmaster and their dynamic pricing model. That is not the price that the vast majority of tickets went for. I agree it sucks that ANY tickets were ever priced at that level, and I wish Bruce (and other artists!) were standing up against what Ticketmaster is doing, which is blatantly scalping their own tickets. But you’re talking about a fraction of a percent of the tickets on this tour.

 

You love to see it.

 

yessss hope this happens for more shows

 

Fawwwwwk lol

 

I sat in the Milwaukee arena's equivalent of that section 430 for The River tour and I'd absolutely do it again for eleven dollars.

 

Something worth watching for folks who live near where shows are going to be taking place and could call a last-minute audible to go see him.

 

lmao i could fly to houston from long island and it would be a cheaper experience than taking the long island railroad to UBS or Barclays and buying a ticket to one of those shows

 

that is fucked I'm not gonna lie to you

although I guess being surprised Bruce is wildly more popular in the northeast than in Texas is a little like being surprised Bad Bunny is more popular in Puerto Rico than Mongolia. prices are still fucked tho, no excuses there
