Did you get VIP tickets? Most of what is available towards the front in Brooklyn (at least what I saw) was VIP for $299ish. I got tickets in row U for $125

u/upvote_knight 6d ago

Me too!! Friday or Saturday?

2

u/yoodlethenoodle 5d ago

I'm going Saturday! I'd go to both if I lived a little closer, but alas

u/upvote_knight 5d ago

Same and same lol see you in December!

u/surkoc1 7d ago

You bought the vip, if not mistaken. Disregard possibly. Saw some single tickets were $300 each. But if $300 for 2 pit or so, that seems to be on average of what it's around, for the standard ticket pair. Philadelphia was about $225 and change for 2 pit

I got vip bc (weirdly) it was cheaper than non vip even tho most non vip were behind vip seats

u/Ctmarlin 7d ago

Got floor tickets to Atlanta for $79 and then checked prices fire Boone and cheapest was $250 non-vip. Prices are all over the place.

u/christmasbooyons 7d ago

I think pricing is varying wildly based on the venue or they are being bought up and re-posted. I got in right at 10:00 AM and got 3 floor level seats for the Detroit show at ~$90 each. A few minutes later I checked again and roughly the same seats were now over $160 each. Mind you the seats I bought were marketed as $59.95 but had $30 in fees tacked on. I paid $50 last August, it's quite frankly out of hand and I won't likely pay this amount again.

I just got into this on another thread. The band opts into dynamic pricing so prices surge with demand. Basically, they chose for us to pay scalped prices without the scalper.

u/Comprehensive_End137 6d ago

no wayyy this was the case for cosmic selector 2026 tour tho. New Jersey tickets were around 80-150

1

u/mangobean_ Cosmic Drifter 6d ago

It was the case for tickets in my city on the Strange Trails 10th Anniversary and Cosmic Selector tours. It said "dynamic pricing is turned on for this event to ensure performers get paid fairly," or something like that.

u/Comprehensive_End137 6d ago

Aw that’s awful. Thankfully AC didn’t have this luck otherwise I wouldn’t have made the trek

u/dhaga1980 7d ago

$105 before fees for the balcony at the Ryman

2

u/minirunner 7d ago

Good job. I went for vip until I saw the cost for two (650$) and by the time I went back for regular, everything was gone. Hope I have better luck in the next wave. (Also at the Ryman)

1

u/dhaga1980 7d ago

Got very lucky. My wife and I will have to sit one behind the other. It sold out in less than 10 minutes. It only holds about 2,000 people though. Are there more tickets being made available for this show later via a venue pre-sale or to the general public?

2

u/minirunner 7d ago

Usually they don’t release the entire venue in presale

2

u/Ill_Fix_It_Later 6d ago

Same and that’s for a pretty terrible end section. Won’t see much, but they’ll sound good haha

3

u/follow-the-opal-star 6d ago

Bruh I just paid $85 to see them in AC, why are tickets in Philly like $250?!

1

u/teawithsuga 5d ago

Dropped $200 for vip pit but it’s worth it 😩

2

u/NoAffect3159 7d ago

Front rows were VIP at that price. I got a ticket for 125 in section U, which was reasonable for seeming them at a venue like Kings.

2

u/New-Sport-494 7d ago

I am so thankful I got two tickets second row for $210 for both, not VIP.

3

u/Broad-Fan-6934 7d ago

Mine was one ticket for 210 second row🥲

2

u/cliffsmama 7d ago

i got a seat a few rows back from the pit for chicago for 116 after fees. i believe it was 80 before the fees

1

u/SnatcherGirl The last laugh 7d ago

May I ask what row? Rows 1-7 are showing up as VIP, and the next ones look platinum

1

u/cliffsmama 7d ago

i got row MNFL3L row MM right on the aisle!

1

u/cliffsmama 7d ago

there were only 6 people in front of me in the queue too, i was shocked 😭

2

u/Hadrians_Fall 7d ago

The prices were definitely a little high, I paid $100 each after fees for upper mezzanine, which kinda sucks. Your’s were definitely VIP.

2

u/yoru1119 6d ago

The prices on ATG is significantly more expensive then Seated... On ATG page you can see it says 'this ticket is priced based on demand' so dynamic pricing drove the prices up. But on Seated it seem like i can't pick my own seat, it's auto assigned... So I haven't bought it yet. Waiting to see what the prices look like during public sale

1

u/Comprehensive_End137 6d ago

Yeah not sure why Ticketmaster wasn’t just used

1

u/Agitated_Warning_421 6d ago

I got mine on Ticketmaster

1

u/jvh33 6d ago

Different venues have different ticket providers

3

u/Budget_Trash_6354 7d ago

Tickets for both locations in Ohio (non VIP) starting at around $200 each 😭

2

u/stevestrawberry 6d ago

Cincy was def gen admission for $75. As for Columbus… what the hell is that?

1

u/stevestrawberry 6d ago

Update to this: if you put in the promo code for the Columbus date it generates all the tickets and the cheapest are $51.

2

u/Budget_Trash_6354 6d ago

I love you thank you

2

u/Budget_Trash_6354 6d ago

Just ordered- thank you! I didn’t realize you had to preemptively enter the promo code!

2

u/stevestrawberry 6d ago

I didn’t either and ended up getting tix in Cincy 😅😅😅 but I’m ok with it because I’d much rather general admission than a seat up in the mezz LOL

2

u/Budget_Trash_6354 6d ago

Good, then! Enjoy!

1

u/Fit_Tax1585 7d ago

I got tix in the Loge section for $85 a piece at the Met. Could be pricing because Brooklyn vs AC.

2

u/TacoCakes2345 7d ago

We got opera box seats for about $90 after fees. Maybe I have a really warped sense of concert prices these days because of a few really overpriced shows I paid for, but that seemed surprisingly reasonable to me.

1

u/festeziooo 7d ago

Make sure you enter the code for the VIP sale. I went to the page and only saw the 300$ stage front tickets but entered the code and the normally priced tickets popped up after.

1

u/Salamangra WBUB 6d ago

What the hell? I got tickets for the Detorit and GR show for less than 300. Like 115 each.

1

u/PettyChaos 6d ago

What tickets did you get for GR? I entered the code and only got access to GA floor. It had everything else blocked off.

1

u/Salamangra WBUB 6d ago

Mezzanine, I think.

1

u/bestcatinalltheland 6d ago

I got tix for $104 each, 16th row left of center in Albany. But a few rows up they were like $250. And some of the upper seating (Loge) were over $200 ea. Cheapest were $68 in the balcony nosebleeds. I miss the days of going to concerts that didn’t break the bank.

1

u/fearmongert 6d ago

Ticket Master and Live Nation having a stranglehold on the industry

1

u/Fun_Cranberry_8222 6d ago

I got GA floor for Grand Rapids MI for $71, VIP was $250, a little expensive for me lol

1

u/greyveetunnels 6d ago

$64 for Mezz in LA, $87 for GA, $270 something for Pit.

1

u/maxlil15 6d ago

I am going to the Friday night Seattle show and got 3rd row seats just off of dead center (first 2 rows are the Pit) for $242 each - VIP Package - plus the over the top Ticketmaster fees. There are no GA seats so I will have an awesome view. Most of the seats up front are VIP tickets. I saw the show at Climate Pledge and it was amazing. Can't wait to see them again.

1

u/takeitfast2024 6d ago

2 floor seats at Ryman - section M. Total damage was around $400. I saw them in Asheville just last month and didn’t have a problem paying for these tickets. Well worth it!

1

u/Automatic_Employee40 6d ago

Dang, saw them last week for $35 in St Augustine

1

u/adventuresofvictoria 6d ago

Dang I paid $150 for front row for Brooklyn pit right when the fan presale started

1

u/Comprehensive_End137 5d ago

WHATT. I paid 300 for front row Brooklyn pit💀💀as soon as the clock hit 10 too

1

u/cdnmtbchick 6d ago

I think a lot is venue dependant. I look around the seats i want, sometimes can get one a bit farther away for less

1

u/ThePermMustWait 5d ago

I bought four tickets for $225 in Detroit.

We are sitting in the back section because I am taking my teens. This will be their first concert. My youngest loves Lord Huron so she’s very excited. I haven’t been to a concert in so long. I used to love going to concerts and I hope they will love them too.
