And I just checked the Pearl jam website...they have an all inlusive package for their show in Germany.....Includes a ticket to the show, 2 night hotel, pre show party, transportation from hotel to the show and back, and various other little things....price $1625.00 USD per person...this does NOT i...

AAAHHHHH! I cant read anymore of this without summing up what a few people cant seem to understand: 1) Tickets are not all $126.00, that is the most expensive, there are a LOT of others. I'm aware of that and mentioned it in my posts. 2) The fact that the scalpers get a ton of tickets and charge a ...

Second, are you saying because Buffett's made his millions already he shouldn't make anymore? It sure sounds that way. That isn't what I'm saying at all. You're putting words in my mouth I never once uttered. Sure he deserves to make more money. I'm just saying at this point in his career where he'...

But you can get tickets for Jimmy through you local fan club as well.... I already pointed that out and he chose to ignore it because it doesn't fit his world view of Buffett as the master of greed. :roll: Now you're putting words in my mouth that I never once uttered. Yes, I acknowledged that fans...

First, I wouldn't mention Dave Matthews in the same sentence at Jimmy Buffett. At $10 I think his tickets would be overpriced. That's your opinion of Matthews, which doesn't even enter into the conversation here. I'm not a fan of his either, I merely used him as an example, which is the problem wit...

Hmmmm...but don't you have to pay to join a fan club to be entitled to try and buy tickets in advance? In checking the DMB website, that cost $35 ...so in essence a $75 ticket with the cost of the fan club would be $110? That's an example of but one fanclub. R.E.M.'s annual fee is $10 and hasn't ch...

In regards to Buffett offering tickets at a "reasonable" price, I'm not the only one in this thread that's pointed out that we feel $126 is unreasonable. This is underlined by the fact that other performers of a similar (if not more well known) stature try to keep the price of tickets dow...

My point about Dave Matthews isn't to pit him against Buffett in the sell out dept but to simply say he charges far less for tickets and still manages to sell out nearly every show. Contrary to popular belief Buffett does not sell out every show. Yes, he sells out a lot of them but not every one. My...

One example would be Pearl Jam, who unsuccessfully took Ticketmaster to task several years ago. They, and the groups that joined them in the lawsuit (Aerosmith, R.E.M. and others) didn't win but in the years since have gone on record saying they go to great measures (including using alternate ticket...

Do artists "make an effort to keep ticket prices down" or do they keep them down because they know they can't sell them at a higher price? You'd have to ask the specific artists that but I'm aware of performers capable of selling out stadiums that chose to keep ticket prices down when the...

Or, Jimmy could just open auction every ticket. I'd bet the average price would go up significantly and then it would be the fans' fault vs. Jimmy's. A couple of things he could do would be to take a hint from other performers who have made the effort to keep the price of tickets down and do the sa...

The bottom line for me as a concert goer is that $126 for good seats is far too much. I'll be supporting the groups that actually make the effort to keep ticket prices down, unfortunately Buffett doesn't fall into that category. The key phrase there is "for me". That's you're opinion, and...

That is for one specific concert. Plus, I'm not refering to the low end tix prices, I'm refering to the high end ones. The ones where he's charging fans 126 dollars a pop for tix.
