- gaws 4y ago> Ahh paying $600 for a ticket. lol really? snagged a bunch of decent seats for <$100.
- TrackerFF 4y agoMust be some VIP tickets. I paid $300 in festival tickets this summer to see Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Kiss, and 60 other bands. Now, festivals can either suck or be fun as far as sound, weather, etc. goes - but anything over 100 bucks to see a headliner + warmup gig better be top shelf stuff.
- jahsome 4y agoI was looking at GA floor tickets for this blink show, and the price was $800 at the time. edit: just checked again. They're much more affordable now at $692 each.
- rrrrrrrrrrrryan 4y agoStandard GA floor, standing-only, were $950 in San Diego (their hometown), BEFORE taxes and fees. [1] We've started calling them Blink $1082 here. [1] https://i.imgur.com/KtXnJbe.png https://i.imgur.com/KtXnJbe.png
- colinmhayes 4y agofloor seats are generally the most expensive at arena shows.
- colinmhayes 4y agoblink-182 isn't punk rock for what it's worth. $600 tickets seem pretty normal for a pop artist.
- toastercat 4y agoFor what it's worth, music genre definitions are murky, and blink-182 were bred from a punk scene, and, to a lot of folk, blink-182 is a punk band (even if they are pop-punk, they are related). I was simply ironically pointing out the juxtaposition of $600 tickets with the DIY, keep-costs-low ethic made popular by punk bands.

- toastercat 4y agoYes, I know. What is your point?
