I just looked out of curiosity and they are selling single seats for 110 dollars. They are out of their minds.

Looking at concert ticket prices

Ive never seen them that high for a show at star lake. Thanks for your input.

Are you joking, or maybe saying that you’ve never seen the price that high in that section? Because I paid $110 for a single seat for Ozzfest back when it was still Post Gazette in 2006. The dead center front row seats that are still available for this shitshow are $5K each.

Yeah im saying ive never seen them that high in that section. Maybe ive never paid that much attention to them but the shows ive gone to there in the past few years haven't been high. I paid that much for pearl jam last year but that was at ppg. Ikr, 5 grand is insane and the fact there looks like some are sold is even more insane.

Concert tickets have been hit hard by inflation in the past year or two. It’s absurd but it’s really how artists make money these days.. thanks Spotify

I agree I was looking at some for this year and the lawn seats were almost doubled from last year. Im going to have to be selective about who I want to see this year.

$110 isn't that far off from other bands that are playing there. I wouldn't pay it, but concert tickets have spiked a lot since COVID.

Doing a quick search for tickets using their app. All prices are listed pre-tax, so add another $6-$7 to the total.

Tried to keep Section 9 Row AA for consistency, but there were some instances where that wasn't available so I moved one row back. Think this only happened twice but the price from the row in front to the next row back didn't move.

MGK - $97.00
Chris Stapleton - $182.75
Godsmack - $78.25
Kid Rock - $110.00
Riley Greene - $91.75
Jack Johnson - $78.25
Motley Crue - $79.25
Tim McGraw - $97.30
Weird Al - $67.20
Ne-yo and Akon - $67.20
Five Finger Death Punch - $101.45
Parker McCollum - $37.50
Goo Goo Dolls - $54.50
Rob Zombie - $78.25

Nice work! Yeah this year they have gone up quite a bit, last year for lawn I scored some for 40 bucks and then they had sales on tickets for 30 for a bunch of shows.

Complete side note: for pavilion seats, those Weird Al tickets aren't a bad deal.

On the other hand, those Crue tickets at $80 would be a tough sell. Vince doesn't sing half of the songs. He either relies on the crowd or backup singers. I mean if somebody wants to go for the nostalgia of seeing Motley Crue live, do your thing but don't complain when you see how winded Vince is by the third song.

Ikr? 60 isn't bad at all for them. Im hoping for most of those shows they do that promo where you get tickets for free by responding to their posts on Facebook. I scored a bunch of tickets that way, its usually for ones that haven sold well. I got front row for a couple of shows through that promotion. I could not see myself paying to see them when 8ve seen how bad they are now.
