Thread for special deals/groupons/discounted tickets

Mmmm, well I was talking about The Who, but yes, they are part of that promotion. Also participating (but I didn't think you'd be interested) are:
Maverick City Music
New Kids On The Block
Swedish House Mafia
Roxy Music

Yeah, big venues, shitty seats
but they have FSS, Union Stage and Balt Sound stage are the best deals since they are GA

also, I think you get a better deal via Goldstar …for $42 I think you can get in the 200s

Bikini Kill at FSS is $25 too

Just bought 2 $25 tickets to The Who in section 216 Row F.  The whole row looks to be that price.  Grab em before they go.

Goldstar or somewhere else?

Was that the price *before* fees?

Tickets for Haim's show in Jachsonville Sunday start as low as $10 each, fees included on Stubhub. Wonder how low the DC shows will go?

whoa!

what's the point at that point?!

Dc has a sold out show and I think they have a fairly big following in the area, so I don't expect these kind of prices at all
I doubt you will be able to get them below face, but then again, I suck at these kind of predictions

edit…dc is already at $29 for the sold out date…see I suck at this

Right on the TM site

looks like folks have overestimated the demand for live entertainment. there was an initial rush for concert tickets once they started happening again, but either that demand had dried up, or entertainment providers have over-supplied the market. either way: you get the current glut of discount tickets.

Not sure that’s true

I think the prompters generallly knew they would end up selling some tickets cheap

there still are LOTS of sold out shows (just look at the 9:30 site)
but with these tiered pricing schemes, they can suckker in a few thousand super fans and that covers the cost of 1/3 empty venue

the prices of the seat close to the stage are insane…and they have sold alot of them
but at the same time…sad the entire front row is unsold
but at $1160 (+taxes and fees too!) a pop, I'd want t blow job from brian ferry too

This has all been discussed ad nauseam

For the good seats at really big shows they use yield management systems ( like the airlines do ) to allocate seats so you can end up paying $499 for a seat the person next to you got for $99

It’s an attempt to keep as much of the upside or “cream” otherwise the formal scalpers get this and in essence artists are now scalping tickets to their hardcore fans… the Stones really pioneered this…they use the VIP packages which almost entirely consist of junk to move the good seats at higher prices

I doubt they could care less about the cheap seats

$16 for this great show!

Train – AM Gold Tour with Jewel and Blues Traveler

I think we should send Jules and Yada and get a play by play, would probably be the best $32 I've spent all year

Roxy Music is on Goldstar for about half price for a variety of seating locations/price ranges.

Why the hell they were booked there is beyond me. There's not a chance they would sell even half the venue. A two night stand at Anthem would have been better.

I think one night at Anthem would  have done it… but this seems to be a thing with the entire tour

Wouldn't a headlining set by St. Vincent alone be enough the sell out a night at Anthem?

Was Roxy Music *ever* really that popular with the casual music fan who likely populates most of the seats of an arena show?
