Yes. I simply will not do it unless I either really want to see the band ALOT!!!! ... or it is an unusual deal like the cd102.5 first 100... Etc. Otherwise I scour the interwebz and try to catch shows for cheap Do you get those types of fees and stuff if you go and purchase the hard copy at the box office? Sometimes it's a little cheaper, but not much. You still get most fees though.

Box office still charges just about the same fees. If the show isnt sold out, you could buy from a scalper in cash if you play that game

I saw this lineup and was so confused because I haven't seen most of those artists tour in a while Haha I went to the Saturday of this festival. It was fine but the stages facing each other was problematic. We met Borns before his set, he is every bit as whimsical as he seems to be. DJ Kahlid is absolutely what you'd expect but he played all the classic 90's and early 00's rap songs that everyone loves so people went nuts the whole time. And Matt and Kim were a lot of fun. They also had the 99 liquor company there with a stand and they were giving out free shots so as you can imagine, people were very fueled during the event haha.

We met Mary Lambert and Matt from M&K. I kissed Matt on the cheek, and I love him so hard. The free liquor was awesome too.

I wish I would have seen this earlier. I had to pay the full price for 2 tickets. and they charged me almost $25 in fees. Ticketmaster is the absolute worst. Got 2 tickets for the price of 3 essentially. I think they went quick! I got a pair for the $10.25, but I saw the post on FB like 20 min after it was announced. At first, only $25 tickets showed, but I refreshed and saw the cheaper ones. I figured if we ended up not being able to go, I could easily unload them for what I paid, even if tickets were still available.

They are in Germany that weekend. They don't actually start playing with Coheed until July 6th. I think it's just timing.

Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys are playing at the LC in columbus. That would be sick if they both played at Bunbury even though Flogging Molly was there last year

Went to get tickets for Sir Sly and they essentially were going to charge me $20 in service fees so my total would be $60 for 2 tickets for a show at A&R Music Bar. Some companies need to find alternative distribution methods for tickets because that is absolutely ridiculous. There has to be other methods outside of Ticketmaster.

I don't remember what show it was, but I was going to get tickets to a show at the LC last summer and face value they were $30 but after fees, a pair of tickets cost $98. Needless to say, I did not go

Needless to say, I did not go I would venture to guess this is why some acts have to book smaller venues. It's hard to sell out any size when you are paying for 3 tickets and getting 2 (at the best rate) for any given show. I can't imagine what the fees would be for like Taylor Swift and Jay-Z and some of those really massive tours. Wildly I bought 2 tickets to Bunbury and remember the fees being really minimal, like shockingly low compared to what we usually see for individual shows.

Taylor Swifts tickets for reference $159.50 per ticket $4.80 order processing $22.70 service fee per ticket TOTAL $369.20 Also, keep in mind that this was for the verified fan presale where the tickets were MILES cheaper than general sale. These tickets are for CLUB3 and the normal price is like $375 a ticket

Probably dependent on the venue or something.

When I bought tickets to Manchester Orchestra in the fall at the LC, the fees were only $7 a ticket

The lineup is definitely more top loaded than I would have thought. Getting Halsey, Odesza, Migos, Kaskade and Khalid is pretty solid work by PSG. I feel like the undercard is underwhelming. I don't know anything about rap so I can't speak to that but it seems that in the EDM side of things they stuck to more bass heavy stuff but I did really like that they got Chris Lake, Gryffin and Dombresky

What I can say is my edm friends say it’s “not bad” and my rap friends are not happy about it

I don't listen to rap or EDM so I can't really comment on the strength. Haven't people said the crowd is a shit show in the past?
