Janes Addiction tickets
The wifes B Day is tomorrow and this is one of her favorite bands. I figured I'd get tickets to see them and surprise her. I got surprised and walked
the fuck out of the ticket line. Tickets are $50 each and a $13.00 service charge each ticket + other taxes and that is the middle priced tickets. Who
the fuck thinks this is normal or fair? If this is on JA then to hell with those codependent millionaires past their prime. If this is completely
ticketmaster shitheads well are they pricing themselves out of money on purpose? Or do people blindly pay with no issues? I am only the idiot who is
not with the times? What the fuck is going on?
The problem is we still need to drive(gas) and go to dinner. That evening could easily be a $250 to $300 night just because of a 1+ hour show. Fuck
this I hate being broke.

you should see the prices of some of the big acts coming thru Philly Clevo.
I have issues with paying the prices as a matter of principles.
I balked at Queens of the Stone Age a few years back cuz the price was up there, but now I really wish I paid up just cu they are a personal favorite.
Unless it is Motorhead with Sheer Terror opening, I just can't see paying $50 a shot

these "fees" are a joke. i recently bought cheap ass $8 tickets for a cubs game at wrigley. fucking fees were like $12 a ticket. then on top of that i
coulda added a $37 parking pass. itll be worth it cuz i have wanted to see wrigley for years.
i also just paid $52 to see gaslight anthem at some shitty festival hyere in cincinnati!. janes addiction is headlining this fest next friday might.
I'm a jerk. All night,I'm seeing Sentrand and thinking "Where do I know that guy from?".

That's pretty much standard "big act" larger venue price via ticketmaster. I passed on Maiden last time because tickets for lawn seats were like $70
each after fees. Plus fees being per ticket instead of per order is kind of lame.
and tickets still sell out.

Well they must be if they continue to sell them for that much. I broke down this morning and bought 2 for her birthday. i was checking out youtube
vid's of the new shows and it looks like Jane's are kicking more ass now than they did back in the day. The Morrissey show is in Columbus like
Sentrand says. I might have to grab those as well soon.

coulda used a heads up on that one, homie! KDG got tickets, right? i saw her post about it recently, searched immediately, and saw it was sold out.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

I could never pay those prices for a show. I could when I was really young and was used to big metal shows, but I got spoiled by punk/hardcore shows.
I can't justify spending that much for a show unless it's some insanely amazing festival.

I'd actually like to see him live as I haven't seen him either, but I can't justify it to myself.

i saw morrissey for the first time when he was in philly a few years back. really good show, but i'll never go back to the academy of music - those
seats weren't built for guys like me.
