[pumpkin]

Isn't this because it's in a smallish place?

yeah....   however, it`s 220 bucks for some allstarband

gnr tickets were 150 bucks for vegas and tickets were less for the hammerstein shows i think... (how much were they actually?)

we radio city holds close to 6000, so its not really that small, if you ask me perfect place for gnr to do multiple shows, and yrs ago back in the early 90s bette midler played the venue for a record 30 shows, yes 30(180,000 people) shows and sold them allout and at the time the tix for that were 75$ a pop.

Hammerstein were 63$ , and that ws for a less than 300 seat venue.

IMO 220 is absolutely ridiculous for a band who doesn't even have any albums out or even a lead singer yet!

Simple solution:

If you think the ticket prices are to high, you can always stay home.

A lot of people are, hence why they are not playing the Cadillac MegaSuperUltraBaseballDome to 80,000 people.

If the question is "Are these ticket prices too high?" then I believe the answer is "If you think so, then do not buy them."

Ticket prices too high?  I live in Tampa, Florida and GNR will be here on the 25th of October.  Ticket prices ranged from $76 to as low as $40.  I really don't see how anyone could possibly complain about ticket prices as cheap as these! Especially to see a band like GNR!  Why is this even an issue??  I'm just happy to see that the tour is finally happening!  I'd pay anything to see them!

[GnR-NOW]

I look at it like this, even though this band seems to be the most consistent, bc they didnt miss a show on the euro tour, i still would like to think theres a chance you might not see a show or you might see one of the best performances ever ! kind of like what one guy said on the VH1 BTM. so for 75 ... its sort of worth it.

Ticket prices too high... ...Why is this even an issue??

Because alot of people are just dying for something to complain about constantly with this band.

Friggin cry babies................

I'm sayin'!

It just gets ridiculous sometimes. It's like, if you think that the tickets are too high in price and because of that you and your friends are going to stay home then I say: good! More room for me and my friends!

Fuck yea to that,, and like when I met ya atr mustangs, Ill say again, , man just have a fuckng good time.


THis bitching and whining about tix prices is really old you either go or you dont. You have a good time or just stfu, whining will not change a damn thing!.  IF you are a kid relying on your parents to go to a show, god bless and I hope your parents are cool, if your someone who works and earns a living , well all i can say is if ya wanna see the band make the conccessions you need to,to suit it.
Otherwise its fucking pointless talkin bout pricing.

For what it's worth, the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday wrote a story about Ticketmaster getting into the auction business (not good since it means good seats going at higher price, IMO), but the article said _ according to Pollstar, a trade magazine, that in 2005 the average ticket price hit a record at $57 - up almost 9 percent from the 2004 average of $52.39.
A side note: Barbra Steisand's coming tour set records with top-tier seats carrying face values of $750 through Ticketmaster.

Yep. Unless you're just looking for something whine about (and alot of people are) then there's no point in asking if the ticket prices are too high. It's more of a personal matter then anything.

[WARose]

how much were tickets in 2002 by the way?

Are you guys serious?  Its simply an OBSERVATION.  Its something for people to discuss.  Give your opinion on the subject and move on instead of telling people to 'stfu' all the time.
