    Man, Ticketmaster really screwed me over, it forced me to change my password before joining the line. There's like 20000 ahead of me.

    everyone - "these tickets are expensive"

    osceola - "i'm going to buy at least 10 of them"

    Fenway pretty much never puts up an accurate seating chart if it varies at all from standard. Sometimes they'll change it as the show gets closer (they did with Blink this past summer), but sometimes they just don't bother.

    I'm truly, honestly, really happy the band is able to reap the benefits of their hard work and make so much money here.

    That said, I wish it were more affordable for a wider range of people.

    Started at 9500 for Seattle too so looks like I’m batting 0 for 3 tries today. Hopefully will find tickets to one of these dates over the next 8 months

    Got two tickets for Seattle. $280 a piece for 30 rows back on the lower deck. Front row in the same section was $700 lol

  11. Got $217 tickets in the 100 row in the center for Seattle, feeling like I majorly lucked out given the prices elsewhere in the stadium. MCR remains the only band I have ever spent over $200 on for a show, between this and the 2019 reunion show.

    Memories are nice, but that's all they are. Prestigious

    I’m just so excited to see how extravagant the production is going to be based on their comments of this being special

    There is NO legislation that is going to be passed putting price ceilings on non-essential/luxury items. What DOES need to happen is more transparency in advance around ticket prices. So people at least know starting costs and can plan ahead.

    By the time I got in anywhere close to the stage is like $800 or more for the San Francisco show.

    Also, legislation is not required for bands and their management to opt out of dynamic pricing. All that would take is more musicians standing their ground.

    They need to put more safeguards around resale and ticket transfer. It’s impossible to prevent it completely, but they make it way too easy for people (and I mean regular people, not “professional” scalpers) to buy tickets and flip them. You shouldn’t be able to buy tickets and list them for resale immediately after. They shouldn’t allow free transfer of tickets between users without any guardrails. There has to be something that can be done around that issue vs focusing on price ceilings.

    I agree but that probably violates certain consumer rights. Also many people (on this thread too) LIKE and WANT the ability to resell so that tends to be why you don't see this limitations. Acts can put in safeguards but many actively choose not to as they get a cut of resale revenue.

    Agree here too. You see high prices, the act you're going to see is demanding a high fee. I will note that stadiums/arenas are VERY expensive to operate for events. I think I read somewhere that MSG is like hundreds of thousands of dollars just to rent out for the night.

    At this point im just gonna try and wait out the resale peeps months from now after the initial hype has died down and see if they drop their prices out of fear of not selling their tix
