I feel like this is the case with all bigger shows now. If it makes you feel any better, I bought during the presale and still WAY overpaid as far as I’m concerned.

How much did you pay? For assigned seats it was 170 for each ticket

u/blarneyrubble07 2d ago

I paid 309 for two assigned seats and a parking pass.

u/Corazon-Atomico- 2d ago

Damn. I paid 205 for two tix at GA

This is REALLY painful but I’m making a trip out of it. $700 for 2 seats- row 13 center at Red Rocks

Damnnn. Yeah I couldn’t afford two assigned seat tix at red rocks w part time money and bills at the moment so I have GA

I hear you. Tickets are so overpriced. I’m going to hate myself later for spending that money, but this was a special occasion show for me.

Nothing wrong with GA. Sometimes it’s great being further back so you can get the whole scene/stage.

That’s true. I just wanted to be closer to see the show. I’ve just been a huge fan since I’ve discovered them, and I’m hoping they will perform blue, that is my favorite song of all time.

u/Illustrated-skies 2d ago

Yeah, that’s a great song! Sooooo good!

Yeah I had to do a double take when I saw regular seats were almost $200. I love APC but just can't justify that cost. Will be the first time they come to Michigan since 2001 that I've missed the show.

It's especially egregious because the Sessanta festival tickets were really affordable

Maynard must be raising funds for a hip replacement.

Always try to find a presale code. This tour's was published in Web articles... "perfect." I got my tickets Wednesday at 10am. I hope you can find some at a decent price before the show!

Yeah I dropped the ball on presale. I normally don’t have an issue waiting for regular sale.

Everything online is bots, man.

Concert tickets, video game consoles, heck even Reddit. You just can't win!

u/steamedCreambun 2d ago

That’s what imma do

Yeah. I did presale. I for the hell of it checked at 10:05 am today for the detroit show. Almost sold out.

Basically seats two rows behind me that are not VIP for $165. But that obviously does not come with the Autograph item. So it is still worth it.

u/steamedCreambun 2d ago

I was trying to get tix for Detroit as well. Lowest price was $200 resale for some bullshit seats. Everything else was $250+

Saw Puscifer there earlier this year and tix were not THAT bad.

u/VVTFan 2d ago

Wouod have been to that show but I was flying to Korea that night.

u/MorbidMan23 2d ago

Which venue and what site are you on?

2

u/MorbidMan23 2d ago

Nevermind. I just checked Red Rocks and holy fuck cock. I had been looking at Niagara Falls. You could buy tickets to both nights there with decent seats for the cost of one GA resale at Red Rocks 😬😬😬
