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

Wow that’s crazy! Glad you went and had fun too! How was ride’s set? Nowhere is such a great album!

Beach House

wow and just one kiss color me jealous!

Me too looks like a great setlist to me!

Awesome ride too what a bill

Parquet Courts

So if you see the Cure there won’t be prayers for rain?! I’d still go they still put on an amazing show!!

Sweeet!

Yes another great b side band ok whoops going off track Venus stop the train and shaking Sugar are great too

Wow what light and either way over the two nights in the 25 times I have seen Wilco live I haven’t heard either of those live

Another legend

Yes they had a great run too with the non album and b sides 2late, snow in summer, burn all so good

Good call on Springsteen and Petty too! Anyway if you have the airbag ep that is perfection can’t believe those songs didn’t make an album

Long time Radiohead fan. I stand by the belief that they have the best b sides and non album tracks of an band with Wilco not far behind. Their output in 94-00 was unbelievable. I was fortunate to see them twice on the ok computer tour

Saw some more pop up on Ticketmaster a few minutes ago so keep checking today too
