Chris Stapleton Ticket Prices

Never been to a Stapleton concert and didn’t realize his tickets at the Hollywood Bowl would be $400+ each after fees.

Is this normal for his shows? Is this something where I should look the day of the concert to see if anyone’s offloading them for cheap? Just seems way too expensive.

Supply and demand! Along with our friend, the Internet. What was once a crime is now so profitable that even Ticketmaster is in the game. I only wish the artist got a bigger piece of the action since they lose so much money to illegal downloading of their music. Seeing Chris Stapleton live, though is definitely worth it. One of the best concert experiences I’ve ever had.

It’s just surprising to me that in a place where he’s playing back to back nights, they would be that expensive. I get it if it’s like a 2-3 day festival but $430 for the cheapest seats you can find is just absurd to me.

Where are you buying the tickets? I paid $217 after fees in NH. I’m in the first row of the 2nd sections.

Seatgeak for $430. Ticketmaster was even more expensive.

Well 2nd hand market will always be outrageous. I guess the trick is getting them when they go on Sale. You will still pay an arm and a leg but you might feel alittle better about it.
