Fuck that attitude, its wrong, they’re a bunch of greedy fucks that are extortioning fans
This goes for grand arena concerts but also for concerts in smaller venues. Seeing your favorite band, any band, big or small, is already unaffordable for me, and I’m considered fucking upper middle class. Going to a concert of a small band that is even remotely known in a small theater costs 100-200 dollars minimum through any of these fucksites like ticket master which is just insane.
I agree with everything you said. How do you propose sticking it to them?
I’m going to check out a band in November, $30 a ticket, at Kung Fu Necktie in Philadelphia. Not a TM venue. It’s a band I really want to see and so it’s so much sweeter that it’s not a TM venue.
I try to find the “local” venues that are near me (90m away or less) and just see who they have coming to town. I see bands on the schedule and look them up and hope they’re just not bad.
I’m mad too though. It’s fucking bullshit. And it’s even more bullshit that bands that I like are playing arenas when they have no business doing so. I hate that we’ve somehow moved to everyone should play arenas now. I just don’t want to go to shows like that, I can’t support it.
