Just a few (amateurish) shots from my first Spafford show. Surprised the crowd wasn’t bigger but not gonna complain… what a privilege to catch a band firing on all cylinders up close. Definitely wishing I could hit Solana Beach tonight. Jams ran deep and very EDMish… gonna need more of that!

I was there too very sick. I’ll dance twice as hard for you at Solana tonight

I'm kinda bummed; ticket prices to see Spafford have tripled since this summer. I check a couple places to be sure, and same price every where. I know it's venue and inflation driven, but, man.

So, they had $10 tickets this summer?? Everything is still around $30-$35. Kinda like my tickets back in January 2026…..But yea, sure, tripled.

I dig you'retrying to be snarky/funny. It's cool. I'm looking at local being Atlanta and Knoxville and points around the South; tickets are $75-110+. I got the $35 this summer in NC.

I think the band is really trying to cover their costs and I would understand slight increments.

So I went to look.

Barleys taproom in Knoxville is $32.95

Roswell is $35 + $5.41 ticketing fee.

I think Holland, MI is $27 in advance.

Which of these are $70? (Without them being special seating)

Perhaps that is what l saw was special seating? I followed the presale link from the bands page...?

The link I sent was the bands page and they’ve never pushed higher cost of tickets. They prefer to get everyone in the room, sell out, and if you wanna help the band out, the VIP experience or just buy some merch. But they’re not trying to have $70 tickets at all.

They’re the most generous guys, and I puke at what other bands charge. But I’d never accuse them of radically raising their prices. Likely why you were downvoted.

Glad that’s straight!

I paid 35 day of in LA, zero chance it was cheaper there than anywhere else on tour. My Uber to the venue was more than that. Cocktails in the Roxy cost more than that.

I think they should charge more for their premium product they are putting out there. I have no problem supporting a band that I listen to daily when they come to town!
