If I can buy 2 extra to the Houston show I will sell/transfer to whoever claims them first
I'm in!
Looks like I do have 2 extra, I was wrong earlier they were actually $133 each after fees. Section 108, row 18. I will transfer them to you if I can, or we can walk in together hand in hand if we have to.

You can have first crack at them.

Houston Austin or Dallas even NOLA is an option

I was wait-listed for Houston, but I got an access code an hour and a half after ticket sales started. There were plenty of seats to choose from. I'm in 104, stage left. I can't wait to see this show.

A friend of mine actually got selected in the lottery and had tickets by five minutes after 10.

haha funny, except for TM doesn't get a dime of facility charges.. that goes to the venue.

So TM did not charge a fee more than the ticket.


Ticketmaster and Live Nation are the same company. So they do in fact get the facilities fees. It's a massive monopoly.

And the artists are often getting a cut of the service fee.

Artists and their promoters set their prices. Ticketmaster is simply a punching bag for them.

Touche.. but they own very few of the establishments that the cure are playing.

Shoreline and Dos Equis.. that's about it.

He didn't exactly bring TM to their knees, but he did get some of the fees refunded. $10 on some of the cheapest seats and $5 on the others.

Grohl at the 1:22 mark lol.

Kurt at 2:40 - So $1.75 a piece, for every person, for every show..
Krist - So if there's 8k people, you made (sic) 10 grand that night.

hearing those amounts it's like hearing how sports players in the 70s made like $100k.

now it's $100 million.

Jon Koncak was the first million dollar man in sports if my memory serves me correctly. Saw him at Moody when I was 7 years old and thought he was the greatest. lol

Just picked up 3 so it definitely works. There are around 8 left if you see this in time. If the AXS site says hang on and it lasts awhile then logout and back in.

Hell yeah!!!
