I agree with you 100% I’m sure a thrill for the singers but it’s not fun as an audience member and especially if you don’t see Wilco often!

The things we do for our significant others.. Zac Brown Band

Nice I’m gong in August enjoy let me know how it is?! Oh that’ll be nice!

Jayhawks

Like that shouldn’t be ashamed is back!

Don’t think bands want to outlay all the money up front for venue rentals the length of a tour. If your a huge act maybe that would be worth it to maximize profits but don’t think others could make that happen

My understanding is promoter pays the venue to rent it they get that fee and then the band gives a cut of merch to the venue and alcohol sales and other food ie is the venues take over the venue rental fee Promoter pays band their fee. If sell out band gets a bonus over their fee So with the platinum seats the promoter is trying to maximize their return they sell the tickets to recoup their outlay for the band and have some leeway on pricing seats probably without much restriction

Interesting

that’s true everything is negotiable! If you want to see sticker shock compare madonnas nyc show to her Boston show $2500 vs $750 for front for platinum

I’m just telling you my first hand experience and like I said the industry is always changing. It’s very common for every band playing radio city/msg/beacon to have platinum seats like this

Promoter pays the bands fee. I have a couple of copies of contracts from back in the day and didn’t see language on prices that indicated the band dictates the price but like I said it was a long time ago and the industry is always changing

I worked a long time ago in the concert industry and back then we paid the band a fee then it was up to the promoters pricing the tickets. I don’t think the band can put a ceiling on the prices of the tickets but I believe it’s the promoter/venue maximizing their return and not lining the bands pockets.. I might be wrong though

Wow so Radiohead said (per Facebook post this am) this file was stolen and a ransom of $150,000 was asked. They are now releasing it on bandcamp for public consumption for purchase

ha yeah now that you said that I hear it
