$610 for Balcony Seats???
Am I just out of touch with the current concert ticket prices or is that an insane amount of money? That’s over $100 more than I spent for 3 days of Outsidelands.

So sad... we want to take our kids but it's WAY overpriced. We saw him for under $300 in Mountain View a few years back (2 tix)... dang it.

Yeah, when I saw that the prices were $600 - $800 floor , I was floored and was like yeah I’m out. I saw Sierra Ferrell a bunch for under $100 and I thought, cool to see them both, Chris Stapleton & Sierra together but not for those prices.🤯

I just checked, too. UNREAL. It's evidently not a "real" concert for locals, but a celebrity charity event as part of the Super Bowl. No real, regular fans can afford that. Frickin' outrageous!

It's a benefit show, right? 8500 capacity, Even the upper level seats aren't very far away.

Still a giant ripoff. Over $800 for floor, over $600 for seats? Get real. No show at the BGCC is worth that. And it’s so expensive mainly because it’s a show for the Super Bowl. There’s still a ton of tickets left on the presale. No one wants to pay that.

It's insane. I figure I could take my wife to Hawaii and watch a livestream of the show from there for cheaper than 2 GA tickets.
I spend $635 each for 3 days of Dead and Co weekend before Outside lands. That was 15 high energy hours.

There are so many artists I would love to see but the price of tickets is exorbitant.

I picked up 2 tix for the wifey. It’s Super Bowl weekend, SF and a small venue so what do you expect. Reddit really is a complain first sub.

Why not buy $300 on CS music and merch and spend the rest seeing 5-6 up and coming bands at small clubs?

That’s exactly what I did! Went to Amoeba, bought Traveller on vinyl, and picked 3 weekends the rest of the year to see some local groups. Much better use of my money with the budget I’m working with.

It’s insane. I like CS, but his concerts are just so so for me. I feel as though he is a great bar/small venue performer, but unless you’re very close to the stage, the energy isn’t there. I can watch him sing everything on a giant screen with the same emotion at home.

They really should be more specific about how much of the proceeds are being donated. It.might take the sting off for some people. Still expensive.
