I forgot to mention that the ASSIL wanted me to get him 4 presale tix to see
The Rolling Uglies when they come here in June. Ticketmaster said to get there 10 min early, so I got there at 9:45 for the 10AM sale. When they went on sale, it said there were 2000+ people in front of me. It said that for 17 min, then it changed to 1835, 1572, 1259, etc. until about 10:23 it let me in to pick my seats...
$494+ fees (so $640ish) per ticket for floor (Sec B & D)
$354+ fees (so $450ish) per ticket for lower bowl (Sec 107-112; 133-138)
$94+ fees (so $125) per ticket for upper bowl (Sec 336) - I got him 4 of these (4th row aisle seats, so not all that bad)
I went back in after I bought those 4 to see what was left:
45 min after the PRESALE started, the blue sections still had seats. The grey were sold out.
Guns N Roses filled the lower bowl 2 years ago & that attendance was 35,000.
35,000 x $450 = $15.75 MILLION for the lower bowl & floor at a MINIMUM!
Figure another 30,000 seats in the upper bowl at $125 each = $3.75 MILLION
Easily $20 MILLION in ticket sales for ONE FUCKING CONCERT!!!
