LoZguy709 11/10/23 2:16:37 PM #3:	The pre-sale tickets I saw for my city were like $89 and shit. Are pre-sale tickets generally a lot more pricey, is this some ticketmaster wankery, or does Green Day really think they can sell stadiums like they're U2? Come on now, American Idiot was 2004.. Although I saw the Smile's tickets were pretty high for a relatively unknown band, so I try to keep cognizant that some bands have high ticket prices as a result of being eco-conscious in their touring protocols (assuming that's what it was). Edit: Forgot they had Smashing Pumpkins and Rancid along with them so that could explain the ticket prices, but I've seen a lot of lawn shows for a base price of $20 (Alice in Chains I think was one of them) <cite>LoZguy709 posted [p:977142729] in Man, I hat...

HorsemnBusiness 11/10/23 2:16:40 PM #4:	I was going to buy tickets and they were like $300 before fees for seats in the middle of the outdoor venue. Cheaper decent tickets I almost grabbed for $124 but then I probably wouldn't be able to even see them and the fees from Ticketmaster would kill the wallet. I see the good seats are over $500 and even more for the "Welcome to Paradise" package. Smashing Pumpkins are not even at this particular show and it's in fucking Kansas lol. --- Conducting Horsemen Business <cite>HorsemnBusiness posted [p:977142732] in Man, I hat...
