Bands don’t really control ticket prices.
did Green Day pull three random people on stage to play “hitchin a ride”? i was at pnc in NJ probably like the next night and i enjoyed when they did that.
I guess this is growing up.
I remember this tour. Good old days
I saw Grateful Dead for $6 or 7.
How else are they going to keep up with the Kardashian lifestyle?
TicketMaster has become a Cosa Nostra for stadium shows, and they are price gouging monsters that don’t even let a little thing like laws stop them from squeezing every nickle they can out of people, including hiring their OWN scalpers, and you can’t avoid them anymore if you’re doing a large venue gig.
Green Day was so much better on this tour.
35 was alot back then.
Live Nation is owned by Liberty Media Corporation. They are the problem.
Yes! I went to that tour but in Illinois!
Saves the Day is the best bad on that ticket!
I went to that tour when they headed west! Spent the whole time pining over a girl in our group and envying the ladies in front of me who could afford to overpay for giant cups of light beer.
Ah youth
Remember the dollabill tour?
blink-182 isn’t charging that much, Ticketmaster is
Yeah with inflation, that ticket would be about 70 bucks it says.
That’s almost $60 today.
OP – I was at this show as well!
They still don’t charge a lot for tickets. It’s not the fans, it’s Ticket Master and the “Brokers”.
20 years ago that was a lot for this band just saying lol
Went to that show with our two sons (9&11) at the time. They are intensely loyal fans since. Converted me too. Huge part of the sound track of our lives
I guess if people bought their records and quit streaming services ticket prices would go back down.
But why pay the artist for their work?
Damn aaand Saves the Day?? 😮💨
Still the worst band ive seen live
You should have been around in the mid 90’s. It was like $7 a show. About 50 people in the audience.
Still too much for B182
They still don’t. Ticketmaster however most certainly does.
It’s not their fault. And any artist can still be cheap if you can catch them at non-Ticketmaster venues. I saw Blink 182 the first show they played with Matt Skiba for $75. A few years later I saw them for free.
This current phase of radical ticket pricing is new. In my lifetime I’ve seen:
Van Halen (x2)
Queensryche
Ozzy (x2)
Korn
Metallica(x2)
AC/DC (x2)
Nine inch nails (x4)
Type O negative
Misfits
Murphys law
Trans Siberian orchestra
In major major venues and some within the last 5 years. I’m even probably missing a hand full of shows.
I never ever ever paid more than $100 a seat and I’ve always had floor or lower tier seats.
I’m not going to another show until they fix this ticket pricing garbage
Saves the day!!! Nice
Hershey Park Happy
It generally used to be the case that going to concerts didn’t involve a major financial commitment. How I miss those days!
Because they know their fans are idiots and will pay that much
Ticketmaster didn’t always charge a lot. Monopolies are bad.
This is the face value of tickets, where are typically pretty reasonable.. it’s Ticketmaster and it’s subsidiaries that charge extra fees that double the prices.
This was not cheap in 2002…
Ticketmaster is the problem.
I was thrilled when i saw they were doing a new concert, when i went to get tickets i saw they were over $350 for the cheapest ones. I missed the last one that came around back in highschool like 10 years ago and its been a huge regret of mine. I grew up with Enema of the State blaring in the background. Fuck Ticketmaster….
That’s about 60 bucks in today’s money. ( I wish I was joking but I’m not. )
This is a lot for that time.
35.00 in 2002 was still a lot
