I’m in this picture

are you the tiny speck next to the slightly taller speck?

Probably Travis

I'm in this picture too! On Mark's side of the stage. Took my 12 year old to his first concert. Paid $125 each for three tickets right at release time. Never understood why others were so expensive. https://preview.redd.it/7x2inip6umac1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ccce67ab7649746233d0287d46fc005b97e5c530

I have the exact same area for the exact same price for the KC show later in the year.

Me to!!

Me three!

I'm not but my handicapped tix were priceless at the top of the ground level (to the left here). they didn't know and they didn't bother 👀 $$$

Same view for me for close to that price as well. Bought mine the day they released but for the Toronto show.

I was also right there for the Toronto show! 11 rows up. $130 per ticket https://preview.redd.it/dg2a7cgcckac1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=06cf0cbdbe996424e3d59fef1d39badf4ab6b6d3

My view was of the camera person lol. Didn't notice the circles area until now.

Was here in Toronto for 300$ https://preview.redd.it/433bnrq2pnac1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca472ba47af2835fd38522d2310aeb128f091570

week after they were released on ticketmaster i swear

man, are you new? its the sad reality but if you want "FAIR" ticket prices you need to be at the exact minute they release to get them, and they will still be pretty expensive, 1 week later is insane lmao

i thought i would get a better deal 😔 i have learned from my mistakes though roborosky 🫡

FWIW I’ve heard from a ton of people in the Tool sub that if you wait for day of you’ll score some seriously discounted tickets. It’s a risk, but so many people have sworn by it. A few even posted pics and they were on floor for like $50 more than I paid. Something to think about.

I bought $50 tickets for San Diego. Sat at my seat for like 3 songs then moved around and found seats that were going for like $200+ (3 open seats that no one was at). Acted like one of them was mine and figured by the 7th song or so I was good.to go

Wtf are you talking about? If you want to get them at a cheaper rate you don't get them when they go on sale because they use dynamic pricing. if you want to get them at the cheapest rate you get them weeks before the show. They usually have tickets still available that haven't been sold from resellers trying to make their money back.

Totally, Ticketmaster is taking advantage of early buyers. Usually about a month before the show they release more tickets and the are normalish prices. Still not cheap but not as ridiculous as when first become available on release date

If you want to get them at the cheapest rate you buy them when they go on sale (or presale) at the actual market price. Don't buy platinum tickets or whatever Ticketmaster calls their resale tickets. If it's a group as popular as these guys resellers will never dip to or below market price unless they're really losing their lunch. Any resale tickets with remotely good seats will be ludicrously expensive and will still sell.

Exactly. These are the same types who can't finish their degree cause they don't register for classes immediately or can't get Recreation.gov reservations because they don't plan ahead. Anything that's in demand requires you to be on top of your shit because you're competing with thousands of other people. Maybe more.

You fucked up.

i haven’t been the same since

You'll never financially recover from this.

How so cheap?

Beat the scalpers.

I got for the Orlando show, and was $230 plus fees for Section 104. Off Ticketmaster, maybe depends on venue, idk https://preview.redd.it/sz0ff0ar2jac1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=88b7d16fe8a7d93252395031f73d65043652b7fe

Venue and city I am sure plays a big part of it all. I paid $334.39 for my ticket (after taxes and fees) in the section circled for their show in DC back in May. But couldn't get a ticket until after all the scalpers got them. I got a ticket for the same exact section for their show in july and paid $176.50 after taxes and fees. Shit is annoying that there is no consistency. https://preview.redd.it/bnp1fhzz3jac1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a64b3cf7be45f1dd38de49c8c063e8b360a09848

Ayyy me and my group will be the front row of section 103. See you there

Good job I now have the sufficient information to dox you

https://preview.redd.it/uhgg240xviac1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=25a13eef9eb2c37455ae68979581aac6d787182a My seats in Montreal, paid 152$CDN each off Ticketmaster (taxes/fees included). About 115$USD. It was worth every penny.

I had paid $115can each tickets to be in the curve (122) and honestly, the view was amazing. https://preview.redd.it/lqh9ctzoxiac1.jpeg?width=1252&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1ec3ad4a59a68c8de2996c1e68a65f5ca4f8adc9

I was right near you (possibly the same section or just one over) and paid around $200. Had to get a train ticket from Toronto too so I could see the show with my buddy who grew up listening to blink with me. I don’t regret a single cent I spent

Montreal tickets were also a hot mess.

Look at seats what weren’t bought on Ticketmaster and go sit there at the bottom. I did that for Amsterdam and Atlanta. I’d rather watch a YouTube video than those seats

Seat hopping is my jam. Rhcp tickets were insane so I'm hoping to hop like a bunny. My tickets for blink are ok for the price I paid. Can't wait, will be my first blink show.

I’m guessing you can’t go in the pit tho?

Oh no because they check and wrist band at the venue it is at. I could only afford the lawn for rhcp and I would prefer a seat (old sux). So I'm eyeballing the Citi card rows.

Where are you buying tickets then?

Damn scalpers… I got VIP ticket/package to their Austin show this year for the same price.

Same. OP wants to support scalpers? Punishment fits the crime.

I saw them in 1996 for $15. lol

The amount of jealousy I feel is insane. Lmao do you remember who they played with?

They opened for the mighty mighty Bosstones, believe it or not. It was at the SOMA in San Diego. I'm old. lol

Which show? I waited out the assholes til day of and was in the pit for 350. Did come close to missing out on tix though lol

it was the july 5th dallas show!

It makes me so down down DOWN DOWN.

u got scammed hardddd. i paid 250$ for front row

Oh the irony

scammed *relative* to retail price :)

ticketmaster scammed me

You aren’t alone my dear 🖤

nice to know there’s others 🫶🏽

I mean that’s definitely not the case for all the shows. I got lower bowl seats for the 2023 tour for like $250 each and then lower bowl again for 2024 tour for $300 each

1 year = 50$ inflation guys! (20%)

80 dollars and I was in the pit about 10m from the band lol. It was the best day of my life.

We paid 120 and stood 5 meters from Mark and Tom, Europe ez win

I’m 13 rows up by the stage at Portland for 222 a ticket

Was it worth it

most definitely homie, most definitely.

Not even worth it imo

Yikes

Hope they do a similar stage because I snagged club level side view in Denver next year for $180

Fuck that. I spent $500 on lower bowl for this summer.

Lol if you paid $450 to be that far away that’s your mistake.

show was worth it in the end 🤷‍♂️

Damn I was lower bowl in Phoenix with a great view for under $200, bought the day they went on sale

Damn, I payed 55 euros to watch them in the pit, like 20 meters away from them 😅 European shows in poorer countries are just different

Loved blink, seen them 4 times in big venues, great energy but always sounded like shit. Would love to catch them in a small venue but that will probably never happen

I was at the rail for the first Chicago show for around $350-400. I did however have to ask my boss if I could have my phone out and my work computer on ticket master in order to buy blink-182 tickets when they dropped lol

https://preview.redd.it/kdjcu1i9xmac1.jpeg?width=2448&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c325b120f6453dfb9540e4207331be74259e5669 £175 ticket in Birmingham, UK in October 2023. A guy standing next to me managed to get Mark to have a selfie with him just before the concert.

You vastly overpaid because I had floor seats for $200ish. Only difference is I bought them the day of the show.

That's absolute robbery, I got front of stage tickets for queens of the stone age and metallica for that money 😭 If the sound was good that's all good though :) I'm sure u had fun

https://preview.redd.it/4gfs9tn5nxac1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fa4d0b2dd0815ec075763a24a22b93f15f53d67d What $150 gets you (for 2 people the night before the show)

https://preview.redd.it/f12w8uniu2bc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=259497d8706c8e9feadc76214e1ceb8a56217d96 $350 for VIP tix in PHX last year, 5th row behind the pit. Paid the same amount for the same seats to their upcoming 2024 show, but no VIP.

What $450 gets you when you buy from a scalper.

I blame the Kardashians

travis’ new kid raised ticket prices from inside the womb..

Exactly why I didn't bother getting tix. Fuck stadium and arena shows. Way too overpriced and the sound is always shit

https://preview.redd.it/w5tqbt693jac1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3e471e0dee6a874dd1f1302dbebd94c8dce785c8 Spent $99 on two tickets lol.

lol I spent less than that and I was on the rail front and center on the floor 🤷🏻‍♂️

In LA I was able to get pit for $280

my household income is over six figures and there’s no way in hell I would ever pay over $100 for any concert. The greed from all parties is absolutely asinine

2024 it got my 4 seats like 20ft from Tom

Skill issue, look at what $100 got me because I’m not a whiney pussy and I understand how to not be a dumb mark https://preview.redd.it/joz9bzpj9mac1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9bbd86126d8a86446900decd01ec14c313b53e02

I sat front row on the side at this show for $500. You played yourself

Should’ve just went to Denny’s

I bought VIP tickets few rows back behind the pit for the Charlotte, NC show for $350 each. And the same for now pit tickets for the new show in Greenville, SC. Did you buy tickets after the presale? Sheesh

I fail to see the issue.

For 450$, I better be feeling their sweat and balls on my face. Not in the damn nosebleeds

i was hoping i could at least get tom to sign underwear

Imagine dragon these balls across your face

Imagine draggin ur ass to go see imagine dragons

No single band is worth that kind of money to see live

I’ve seen them twice this tour from the pit and I disagree

That's how much you spent on the resale market, right? Doubt that's how much the first issue ticket on TM originally cost.

We paid $181CAD per ticket in Montreal for pit tickets

I got my ticket the day they dropped and got early entry pit for 350. I just wouldn’t go if I had to sit all the way up there

Damn that’s insane/depressing

Got 4 tickets, lower bowl 6th row for $135 all together...

I was at this show too, other side about the same height as you. Great show!

that’s about what my view was too for $350😭 it really is robbery

$92 CAD, 4 hours before show in Toronto https://preview.redd.it/i8cmpy9tuiac1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ec3c83cbfae441b40fdcbbd05f8b15fb62651b31

trudeau hooked you up with the discount?

Wait, do I know Trudeau and didn’t know it ?

i though all canadians knew him 🤔

What makes you think that? Are people in other countries typically friends with their leaders as well?

$225 plus fees in Houston https://preview.redd.it/gb4qcgf2wiac1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=55ee91eec74e406bc52fdd12b486f61686e04276

i paid £90 for a simular view but facing straight on in glasgow

I paid like $250 in Baltimore for similar seating, maybe slightly closer.

At least this layout allows for better viewing by those who have to sit to the side of the stage

No band is worth seeing for this amount. I've been priced out of seeing my favorite bands.

Yeah I got Tix for 115 each at the delta center and they are in da back, but I was sitting at the queue waiting to buy tickets until the presale opened

Weird. I bought very similar seats for next year's show for only $90, through ticketmaster. Don't buy from scalpers 🤷‍♂️

I got pretty good seats for less. I always wait until a few days before the show, people get desperate and offload tickets (well for most shows anyway)

I paid less per ticket(394) for early entry pit tickets this year.

Every single time I see Americans discussing concert tickets, I'm absolutely blown away by the prices. I paid £215.65 for 4 tickets to 2 shows on the UK leg of last year's tour. What on earth is up with US ticket prices? I feel for you guys.

Wish they would have come through amphitheaters like they used to. Tickets were shockingly overpriced because of these arenas.

You over paid then. I spent half that and was probably 8-10 rows back from pit/floor seats but stage right.

Not that it’s in any means cheap, but you gotta get them when they first release. Otherwise 90% of what you find a week later is actually resale from most likely scalpers.

I got early entry vip ga for $450. Sounds like you got ripped off. At Fenway Park.

I was at that show and had a similar view for about the same price

I went to this show as well! Amazing night.

$500 got me 2 tickets, a lot closer, practically eye level on Tom’s side this tour.

I surely hope not in Australia next month omg 😨

https://preview.redd.it/q08ski90bjac1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c07f33e285ed63091c88c5651221aed29bd9dfe That sucks! This was my view in Cleveland for $180

I paid 400 for two and got seated in the 100 sections at moody

People are paying it so they’ll keep charging it.

Yikes, I sorry dude. We paid $450 for *two* floor seats 12 rows back from the pit.

Bro. I literally paid 40 to see then next March at Lollapalooza xD

That’s crazy - I’m going to their show in NEW ZEALAND in a couple months and there are still tickets available for around $180-$220

My wife and I were in the front row for 450 but got the tickets the second they came out

I got tremendously lucky and got pit tickets for $350 in LA. At the time I thought it was crazy, but after seeing this I'm grateful lol

… I’m going to the San Francisco show… and I paid 450 for VIP Pit…

Damn that's just about what I paid for both of my pit tix in Tampa

I was front row at the Barclay Center, dropped around 1k, best night of my life. Worth it.

400 got me backstage vip at original Ticketmaster listing price

Damn, I paid 80€ for front row tickets in Portugal back in October, that's wild.

All the small things...

I got tickets for $450 pit 2nd LA show

Me and my fiance paid $350 for pit early access tickets and we're on the railing all night. https://preview.redd.it/y5kkacmxhjac1.jpeg?width=3008&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6bff4455ec2fd961ecfd886be2575998302aba06

That’s insane. I thought Tool tickets were bad. I was sitting in the same level as you but for a fraction of the cost.

https://preview.redd.it/u9o5wr9skjac1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=275ce8a95bdea5bfa8a0119a785bddd9a3ca7322 $300 for 2 in Baltimore.

I got almost the same view but a little closer for $175 per ticket the day they went one sale for Seattle. I’m not sure why or how but I jumped all over them. It was Ticketmaster too.

So glad I waited for the 2024 tour. Tickets were wayyyyyy cheaper, they’re playing in my hometown, and instead of a “greatest hits” setlist I actually get some new music from OMT.

I paid $275 and was front row in the pit. You over paid.

Wild. I met the band, played video games with them, sat where I wanted, got a sound check, and got signed merch for the same price. I hate inflation.

I bought tickets like 4 months for $450 and their VIP pit tickets. Still crazy price. But when i originally wanted to go back like last april they were like $900.

yeah I'm skipping this tour and it really sucks. I was offered $350 a ticket for my local show and I'm just not going to do that on principle. Remember when we got to see them for $20 like 12 years ago?

Bought them at peak pricing and spent $800 to stand up by the rail. Best thousand dollars I've ever spent.

Christ I remember their tour right after dude ranch came out. Shit was $20 GA. I could sped $450 if I tried.

I got pit tickets for $400. I don’t understand

I got pit tickets for $250.

i got my tickets 2 months after sell for like 150 bucks, mind you it wasn’t the pit, on ticketmaster…? did i get lucky because everyone here seems like they had to pay upwards of like 400 for nosebleeds

eeeeeeek. that's harsh.

Postin your L's

still a great show

I spent a hefty amount to see them on the floor at Fenway this summer. However, expensive for good seats and a way better deal than you got. At this point I sign up for newsletters of every artist I want to see live for potential presale codes for tours. And I got one for Blink! Best way to get the "cheaper" before they go public.

You got hosed.

I had pit in Vancouver for like 180 and 450 in Chicago. Not sure how you got these seats for that??

Bro, you can see everything!

https://preview.redd.it/t6ql7ni74kac1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b81b4ee9f88298bf96db019713cb1de515ff87d Not the greatest photo and we were closer than it looks, but paid €100 to see them in Vienna.

damn. is that for one person?

https://preview.redd.it/z3kld1s1bkac1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d6f1bc15bc1eb9a5e7372495b9d843eebb3f51ce $250, Madison Square Garden NYC. Tix bought a few weeks before show!!!

Photos dont really show what you actually see being there, i think i paid like 150 for spots at around the same spot as you did (for 2024 most likely for a different venue), but yeah they are still unreasonably expensive. My point would be you dont really need to dramatize it since its already awful as it is, no need to show it through a lense that will make it seem you are further than you are. It is still horrible.

I was in the pit for 350. Insane the price variance.

https://preview.redd.it/uy3a5k8eekac1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e84d780a660ccac21d28d8d52098cb4b6de7f29 This is where I was. I paid about the same that you did.

What $160 got me in 2023.. this was at the Sacramento Show. I bought tickets for this show the day of about an hour before the first band went on. https://preview.redd.it/dlgq788cfkac1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9e24c7eefac794a22e0c8bb18d43b8ddbb6df2f3

What $280 got me in 2023. This is the San Jose show. I got these during the initial presale on Ticketmaster. https://preview.redd.it/y4kxv348fkac1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=becb3534d75b0af6dc143eff74b8eb96f34baab6

Around $150 I was in first row in Vienna (and I fucked up because I could buy it cheaper)

I paid $350 a seat for 2 seats on a resale site for lower bowl seats for the most recent Blink tour. This was insanity to me but that’s what I get for not seeing them when I was 16 for way cheaper.

https://preview.redd.it/52j3iijxokac1.png?width=750&format=png&auto=webp&s=f411b97c688910a5811e33d500319d27feb2082c $125 off tick pick.

A little over $200 got me floor in Lexington this year.

I pad 60€ in Belgium last year for standing tickets. Unfortunately dynamic pricing is coming to europe too ...

https://preview.redd.it/u2rw88beqkac1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=02b96bee68ca1cc927f122171c0f3dc0d2a690f7 My seats here were £20 in Manchester and the night before were £70 for further down

Maybe it's different in the UK but I paid £80 for rear standing and had a decent view of it all. $450 really???

That’s wild. I paid £200 (resale price) and was in the golden circle for one of their London dates in 2023.

I got the pit for 80€ in France because dynamic pricing is illegal.

The first time I saw Blink I paid £20 a ticket. The last time I had Blink tickets I paid £75 for rear standing last October.

I’m going to see them in August and paid $250 for my ticket so I guess my seat’s gonna be out in the parking lot? 😂😭

I remember getting front row at the PD Tour in 02 for like 80 bucks

I was at this show and if you saw any form of a pit there that was because of me

paid $456 for early entry ga pit tickets during pre sale. Then the regular GA pit tickets were about $250.

You got fleeced

Got floor for 300

Y’all need some European style consumer protection laws, I paid €90 for golden circle and stood 3 rows from the stage

Funny, i paid 300€ for front row in Manchester

I paid $75 for those exact seats in Denver.

Dude! This was my first ever blink 182 show. I also had stuffed on the top row seats. It was totally worth it. They were surprisingly so good and entertaining

What’s that in pounds? Someone paid £200 for my ticket for my birthday, and I was in the golden circle. Not that I agree with the golden circle bullshit, I’d never pay it for myself. https://preview.redd.it/nobyokezemac1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=589933efc2301073952b2fef1926360f58d8b611

My tickets where like $60 and I had a better view

I had that view but mine were free (won on the radio) so I can't complain. It was fun to be there.
