$30.00 to see the Dropkick Murphys. Thats fucking crazy. Same band I have seen tons of times back when they were alot better for $6.00 - $10.00 at the very most.

what clubs did you see them at? the avalon gets more expensive and dkm sells out pretty much every time.

I paid $60 to see Venom play 35 minutes last year.

OUCH

tell me about it, shitty set list too.

now Celtic Frost who charged the same price for their tour, played an hour+ set and earned their money.

i always wanted to see Venom.
Motorhead too....

gavin - 9-27-2007 at 01:57 PM

i say good for them
charge $30
esp since im sure they are living off band money at this point

I don't what sort of rider they've got, but they could go for a bigger cut of liquor sales and keep the ticket prices lower, and still go home with the same amount of cash.

Ya Cleveland was $30 for tix but that included "service charge" I mean theft from ticketmaster. The show was $22 with $8 service charge.

upyerbum - 9-27-2007 at 07:56 PM

When you're makin' money everyone wants a piece.

Discipline - 9-27-2007 at 08:10 PM

I won't pay that much for most bands, but I will for a few, including DKM. I want those dudes to get rich cuz they've earned it.

MikeCore - 9-27-2007 at 08:56 PM

We just paid $120 for Police tix. It better be the BEST SHOW EVER!

I'm talking about seeing them in 1997 - 1998 era at smaller clubs. The good old days. I am still a diehard that thinks Al should have stuck with the Bruisers and Miek with DKM.

yah, i ran into those when mike left. oh well. the bruisers were pretty much dead with al being the only member. god, people complain toooooo much about everything.

I'd be willing to fork over $30 to see DKM.
Only thing is here in Phila, after the service charges and shit it would be closer to $50.
I like the band allot and wish them all the success / earnings possible.
They look to be doing well, but I doubt they are ever going to be rich to the point where you see them on some shit like cribs or something. Even with record sales, what's a band make off of each cd sold these days? I thought the percentage to go to the artist wasn't too huge...

joemaconmovies - 10-1-2007 at 01:07 PM

i've heard ken is a millionaire but only cause he's been with the band since the beginning and writes most if not all the songs.

JawnDiablo - 10-1-2007 at 01:57 PM

damn.
good for him then.
he deserves it.

Lucabrasi - 10-1-2007 at 02:57 PM

I would pay $30 to see the Original DKM but not the newschool one. As much as I dont like DKM at this point in their carrier if you're an artist and do it full-time then you should make enough to live off of. If $30 a ticket is what they need then so be it, I wont be paying it though.
