Blink 182/MCR August 21st! (questions, whore your stories.) - Comments

Yeah it is insane. I hate when bads get overly popular because its like everything changes. Like I remember looking up tickets for a MCR concert like 4 years ago and it was like $15 and now that they're playing with Blink, its outrageous.

See? With Muse, they blew up when they started doing the Twilight soundtracks. It's all about popularity. If they had not been mentioned in the thanks of every Twilight book and hadn't been on any of the soundtracks, I doubt they'd be as popular as they are. I like them and I think they're talented, don't get me wrong, but I judy doubt they'd be as popular if it wasn't for Stephanie Meyer and their pit tickets sure as hell wouldn't be $600! That's insane!

I see, thanks for the insight :)
$600? That's insane. Haha.

Psh, pit tickets for Muse are $600. Needless to say, I'm sittin' in the back.

Prices are probably a combination of the act's popularity, the cost of the venue, and the quality of the seats.

Regular tickets are $45-$65. I don't know why its so expensive especially when the seats are pretty shitty but none the less I'm looking forward to it. :)

That is crazy for it to be that expensive..
the most I have ever paid was probably about $60 a piece and that was for Green Day pit tickets.

And I've seen a lot of bands in different areas. The cheapest is probably The Masquerade in Atlanta in my area...it's usually about $20 or under depending on the band. I saw Cobra Starship there and it was a pretty cheap show, and it was with Forever The Sickest Kids, Hit The Lights and Sing It Loud.

Even when I saw Avenged Sevenfold in Nashville, the prices weren't that crazy...unless you wanted VIP, which if you have pit tickets and you wait in line for hours, you can push your way to the front.

Haha lucky :P They're not coming to my area until Sept. 17th, I'd loveto still try and go but I doubt it'll happen. Have fun though!

I'm.so.freaking.jealous.of.you.right.now. Me and my best friend were just talking about how sick an MCR concert would be, and we both love Blink-182. Omg you're so lucky -__-

I'll swap for The In-Betweeners :)

Omg indeed he would! Haha. I think its really cool when bands like MCR do small shows. Like the one from The Black Parade is Dead. As long as their cheap. And charity events. I love when bands do that. It shows so much character!

xBecomingxNumbx: I'm going for my birthday. :P Me and my best friend (more like sister honestly) are 4 days apart. Her bday is July 14th, mine the 10th and my uncle's is the 1st so my mom's buying us tickets. Any other time, I'd have to pay it myself. Haha.

Yeah, exactly! If you put Travis Barker in a bar to do a concert with no security, what-have-you, he'd be raped about 38843677 times. Ahaha.

I never thought of thought of that. They have to pay in for a lot of things. Whereas smaller bands who just play in bars hardly have anything to pay for.

I'll whore out Unstable since I'm about to sleep (: <3

I wish I could go to that show when it comes to my area but I can't afford tickets :(
I'll swap for The Artist

I googled it 'cause I wanted to know. It's mainly popularity, though, as I said. There's security, crew, etc. etc. that jacks the price up. Ahah, but I totally agree with you!

Will do and will do. :)

I don't understand ticket pricing but if it was lower prices, it would be awesome.

I think the bands popularity deterimes prices. Like, I went to a Black Veil Brides concert last year and tickets for my friend and I were 24$ all together, so $12 apiece. We went to a Lil Wayne / Nicki Minaj / Travis Barker show this spring and the VIP tickets were $500 dollars for two, so $250 apiece. Which is understandable. I expect to pay more for someone who has been around longer and has monster popularity.

Letters from Kendrick, if you don't mind. <3

Take a look at 'Floating' if you want. It's very short (and unfinished) so doesn't take long to read.
