Re: crowd behavior, I’ve posted about this elsewhere but I went to a Manchester Orchestra show last year where the two most obnoxious people in my vicinity were Phoebe Bridgers fans, I could make the joke that I knew because they loudly talked throughout the entire set but unfortunately I also know because when MO played The Gold it was the only moment in an 80 minute set they even remotely paid attention to the concert, after one of them went “oh! It’s the song that Phoebe covered!”

 

Just got my code for Columbus

 

Currently in the waiting room (pun intended) for Forest Hills, hoping this goes well.

 

I had a panic and then I remembered those are eastern time zone. When did the code arrive? 30 minutes before?

 

The text came about fifteen minutes ago, but if you go back to the website you used to sign up for the presale the code will be there as well

 

Thanks. Looks like nothing yet for Chicago.

 

Haven’t gotten the code for Boston yet

 

Got the code for Chicago now.

 

we should be storming the ticketmaster offices over these fucking fees

 

$238 after fees for 2 tickets. Fuck.

 

lmao I wish this is what I paid. What the fuck

 

You mean AXS?

 

Yeah, I fucked up signing up for presale

Big oof

 

it’s too early for me to type

 

$155 for one fucking GA ticket for NYC? fuck that.

 

Y'all gotta get used to the fact that big shows are three figures.

 

Cannot justify $311 dollars for two GA tickets to this. Let mine go.

 

And I know I'm going to fucking pay this.

 

Paying weekend festival prices for one day of a traveling circus is not it.

 

Got 2 for Columbus

 

and that was for “GA Tier 2” which means you aren’t even guaranteed floor!!! Guaranteed floor was $210!!!

 

Columbus secured

 

I dunno, this is NYC. Boygenius themselves would probably come out to 70-80 so you stack some other mid-tier acts on top it'll come out to that. I might be wrong and this will sell poorly but it seems to be priced right given demand.

 

Oh, it's priced right for demand, doesn't mean that it's necessarily right. When it's $99/ticket and then fees - that's a fucking money grab by AXS.

 

That statement makes zero sense. From an economics standpoint, if something is priced a certain way and meets/exceeds demand, it can't be "over-priced".
