Pet peeve though, it drives me nuts you can't see ticket prices and surf through the seats beforehand. It would make the process so much easier for everyone if you could know going in what section and price point you wanted.

It creates a sense of urgency by design.

And you also don't often see ticket prices post beforehand because they change as soon as when you are in the queue before the onsale all the way to during the actual selection process. If the system sees 10,000 people in the queue it can bump prices up 10% before the sale even starts.


Say whaaaaat? How do you know this?? Absolutely bull**** if true

Dynamic ticket prices. It's the latest way for promoters to screw you.

They just did this same tour this/last year, so we have a pretty good idea of pricing based on those cities.

Saw Moving Pictures, a Rush tribute band last night.

Does that count as a concert?

They are trying to maximize revenue like every other company. If they have data that assists in that, they are going to use it.

And artists still have the insulation... They can blame "Ticketmaster" or "promoters".

These artists are trying to squeeze every dime out of you as possible as well, they just have to balance that approach with long-term image.

Well guys, it was nothing short of fantastic. Incredible set, great guitar playing, video and audio the best I've ever experienced. Can't recommend this show enough.

lower level bowl was $500 after fees. I think GA was close to this.

That is for both shows, so $250/show/person.

Snake pit I remember was about $750 I believe (non experience pit)

Budget level was maybe $200

Their website has experience prices ups, add ~25% for fees.

after doing all that I realize, they are already on sale in eastern/central time zones, so you can see each city now.

Cheapest ticket for a 2day show in philly is $90.. that's a deal.

Sec 104, Row 2, in Denver, I'm good with that. Might be a little behind the tower, but compared to arlington I'm over about 20-30 seats, so it should be better.

I'm pretty happy with these, I don't think the tower will block too bad, only when they are right behind it.

Wasn't sure how much the towers would block views in the lower levels, so went for the middle level section in Charlotte

higher up can be worse because you have screens. They are tall as hell, I think even from upper level they'd be in the way.

at least down low, it's just trusses.

enter the contest, you never know! I won M&G in denver 2017 (which also came with snake pit) and snake pit in Arlington last year.

snake pit for end stage setup was so much better

Signed up for 5th member just now and still tons of tickets available. I'm thinking I'll probably go 300 level. I love that my 13 year old is becoming my concert buddy (we've seen Jimmy Eat World, Guns N Roses, and have pit tickets to Weezer this weekend), BUT it doubles the concert cost.

Looking at the same section that myself, my wife, my daughter, and daughters friend sat in for Zach Bryan. The cost of two tickets is about the same cost as it was for 4 to that show. damn!

Also a drastic difference from the other concert ticket I bought recently, Cursive @ White Oak, GA.... $25!

You're telling me; I'm in Denver, so it's double double!!
I couldn't imagine just taking them to only one.
