blink-182 - One More Time… (October 20, 2023) • Page 158

Idk how true that really is anymore.

But anyway, looks like I’m sitting this one out. It’s more than double the price for shittier seats than I have for The 1975 at the same venue.

 

Skipping the tour unless I get free tickets haha. I don't have or want to spend the amount of money it will cost for good seats

 

I know in my industry (college athletics and at one point ticket sales) we would simply hold tickets back and/or release in tiers so even if not intentional, the seating maps looked more sold than they really were.

 

Which makes sense. I just feel like I’ve been encountering shows more and more recently where they’re not really even holding back anything for the public sale. I could just be crazy though, wouldn’t be the first time lol

 

$90 before fees for the cheapest Milwaukee seats...I'll just try and see them at Lolla (assuming they are on the lineup).

 

Obviously this was an exception, but Olivia Rodrigo sold out during presale. I don’t think there were any general sales.

 

im assuming they are since there is no chicago but the cities around the usual lolla dates are all midwest states

 

What am I missing with Piece The Veils popularity? I remember them having a couple albums people liked despite the singer maybe having the worst scene voice there is.... But I haven't even heard or thought of them in over 10 years at least, I had no idea they stayed popular or even were still together

 

I don't think thats true anymore. I got in exactly at 10am for tickets (surprisingly I didn't have to wait in a queue) and the venue map looked like every seat was available. Now a couple hours later venue looks more than half sold.

 

Just realized this will be my first time seeing Blink - woohoo!!!

 

they got back together not long ago, dropped a new album, one of their songs i heard did really well for being on tiktok, i think they had the mcr effect where they were still popular while they were inactive ya know? so they came back, still pretty big. it was just a hiatus, they never really officially broke up

this was their crowd last year at WWWY

 

I honestly had never listened to them until earlier this year when they announced that summer tour with The Used. But looking at their touring history it looks like they hadn't played NYC since 2016. Maybe their popularity has to due with their lack of touring?
They're decent from what I've listened to recently. Nothing floored me but also didn't sound terrible like others make them out to be. Personally I'd much rather sit through this than twenty one pilots lol

 

Important context - they had a hiatus because their drummer (Vic's brother) was accused of having inappropriate conduct with underage girls

 

Ticket secured!
$257 after fees for GA

Stoked to walk 5 minutes to the venue and get there hours too early to ensure that I get as close to the front as possible, so I can finally see my favorite band up fucking close. And yes, I've already decided that I will be on Mark's side.

 

ah wasn't aware that happened prior, i thought it happened during their break. thats when i heard about it.

 

I saw Mark’s manager say only 8% of tickets were held back for Philly. Not sure if that number applies to other dates or how it works city by city

 

LOL didnt know 21P was still a thing but me neither, ptv blows them away musically and energy! i saw them direct support last year opening for i prevail and they blew it away! it was their comeback tour and they nailed it. i heard at the milwaukee show that i didnt go to that over half the crowd left after their set and didnt stay for i prevail haha

im glad they played this one though, the ultimate ripper! reminded me of old rufio mixed with their style. i wish the new album had more stuff like this but ah well, it was nice to hear new music from them in general!

 

That Pitchfork review

 

I was willing to shell out a decent chunk for VIP at Fenway, but there was nothing worth the exorbitant price. Not a single ticket available in the center Turf A sections. VIP early entry pit was over $200 more than regular pit, and regular pit was pretty easily accessible. Just wasn't worth it.

Ended up with a regular pit ticket for $350 after fees.

 

Went for a second show. $230 after fees for show 1, $250 after fees for show 2 – both in pit.

 

Seeing these ticket prices I feel so lucky that I saw their first show back with Tom from the very front row basically for free because I was already going to the festival

 

I was gonna say after sitting with this for a few days it’s almost hilarious how much worse edging is than everything else on the album. Doubly funny because it was the first taste we got.

 

I like the song enough, but I’ve found myself skipping edging almost every time lol

 

Matches with what Tom said about him and Travis doing it a few years ago when he was specifically asked if it was an old song from the vault or a new one

Edit: oh this video too, thought it was part of the compilation video. https://www.reddit.com/r/Blink182/s/5PvDaFO8Q8


Also Aaron confirmed it's "We'll go" not Welcome. Lol all these lyric videos and sheets being so wrong are annoying the hell out of me

 

Far from it...having anxiety now because I know I can't afford it. Credit cards are dangerous kids. Only purchased additional ones because they were better seats and I figured I could sell them to friends or re-sale down the line...
