Ticket extra charges

[Trey Darnell]

And yet, the RUSH ARMY sold out all 24 original tour dates in mere days, at sky-high ticket prices.

I am guilty of purchasing P!nk tickets for the last two tours from Ticketmaster. Premium seating and the fees were several hundred dollars for two seats.

With ticket prices starting at $300 I wouldn't be surprised it the gross more than Taylor Swift.

965 dollars for grandstand seats for race day at the Formula 1 race in Vegas this year…….you can barely see the cars. So it could be worse, you get waaaaayyyyy more for your money with any drag racing ticket.

Just looked at my Rush ticket stub from 3/7/86...$19.50. Times have changed!

My wife and I went to Paul McCartney’s 2016 concert in Little Rock.
The tickets ended up being $480 each. But I would have paid twice that. The concert was awesome.
However, even if NHRA was to double their prices (but I’d rather they didn’t ), they would still be a great value.
Where else can you have an equal or better visceral experience for the same amount of money? You can’t.

Not sure if you have but if you are going to do a F1 race for the first time, Austin general admission. You can wander around and there are many places to watch from because of the way the land is around the track. They also have hotels with shuttles so that eliminates a lot of logistics for you.

And my 1st Crewcab DRW pickup in 86 cost $15,500. Lol

That’s good to know, I went to F1 in Vegas last year and it was kinda not the greatest but when I was watching the broadcast of COTA this year it looked a lot better so we were seriously considering making the trip in 2026.

I recently watch an interview with Les Claypool of Primus. He talked about going to see Rush back in the day and you could walk up and buy a ticket, a year later the group had blown up so big you couldn't get a ticket.

Growing up in Toronto (their hometown), they always had a dedicated following. As far back as I can remember (late 70's), they would sellout the old Maple Leaf Gardens for back-to-back nights every tour. They took a little longer to catch on in the U.S. for sure.

I rmember when you had to get a line number a week in advance, sometimes through a lottery. Then spend half the day waiting in line.

I can buy tickets without getting off the couch. I'll pay a couple extra bucks for that convienence.

Anyone ever buy tickets to a Grateful Dead concert? They were not sold through a traditional ticket seller or the venue they were sold by a strange and somewhat confusing process by the band. This was in the late eighties early 90's, I saw them twice in Alpine Valley, Wisconson and once in Chicago. My Dead Head brother and friends always got the tickets, can't remember the exact details but it was kind of like a lottery I think.
