At MSG last month I couldn’t get a tix for love or money under $250 for the Kiss concert, on Kiss’ fall tour they are selling seats for $14.75. At Miley Cyrus Prudential State concert I ended up behind the stage for $50 after Ticketmaster had concluded blackmailing me, $10 for a lawn seat for the rest of the world. Creed? 75 cents. Kid Rock $10. Blink-182 $7.75.
And unless you are going to Jones Beach or to New Jersey you’re getting hammed for a minimum of $40. $40 if you wanna stand for four hours at the Bowery Ballroom to see Vampire Weekend.
The downside of going to concerts in a musically promiscuous city like this is it is so fucking expensive. Victory may well be sweet in the cheap seats… now lead me to em…
