Tour Prediction and Speculation Thread [ARCHIVED] Tour • Page 2223

Bane just got added to Outbreak fest

 

for my Ontario homies

 

Was just thinking the other day about how it's been so long since I last saw Protest The Hero. I hope they do some more US touring soon.

 

I’m so ready to start seeing Oshawa (very close to me) on more Ontario tour posters. There’s a new 1000 cap venue opening early summer with a 500 cap downstairs.

Don’t get me wrong, Oshawa sucks, but having more shows close by is always good lol

 

Y'know, I was just thinking it was odd that LTJ weren't on any of these... Another solid line-up!

 

Does one of the members of Vial have one arm or are those photos weird

 

just the pictures

 

Just a hunch that this will go better than Weezer’s Broadway attempt (and we’re back to keeping this thread =w= relevant again!).

 

You have a source on this as you are contradicting what I’ve read from various sources.

 

Someone pull up the cspan footage from the ticketmaster congressional hearing.

I wouldnt take ticketmaster at their word like Lefsetz does

 

Why Everyone's Mad at Ticketmaster Right Now

"The Last Week Tonight segment reported three reasons why people are paying significantly more money for tickets these days. The first is that average ticket prices have more than tripled since the mid-‘90s, even before they hit the resale market, in part due to increasingly elaborate productions for major arena tours. Second, the fees that are tacked on to each ticket can be as high as 78% of the ticket price. Those fees are divided among the venues, promoters, artists, and Ticketmaster."

Lefsetz has a lot of industry insider information and has been beating this drum for years. Additionally, I do trust Last Week Tonight as their show is insanely well researched.

 

Pearl Jam brought all this stuff up 30 years ago, but we didn’t listen

 

No disrespect meant but what size shows are you settling? I can see this situation varying based on if it's a small club vs large theater, ampitheater or arena.

 

Guessing sureshot is not settling Ticketmaster shows or they would know what rebates (aka kickbacks) are
