Joe getting too big ? (Page 3 of 3)

I never was questioning the worth/value of the ticket and show, just though it was high for this venue due to seating etc. ,  Joe to me always delivers the product, I have seen him 3x prior,  twice at this Hampton Beach and its gone up 25 % each time , I have seen many  a shows here Ted Nugent, 38 special, BCC, and never paid more than $ 75 for a gold seat. I think this is the most expensive show I have seen at Hampton CC ever.  Granted it looks like all seats sold out and only GA left so the price is warranted even though you check the scalpers seems like plenty there for 3-4x face value. In comparison to sporting event a previous poster mention it's a no brainer the "entertainment value"  for JB is there I would never pay some of the money for a sporting ticket they are asking for now a days, plus in the end you can get disappointed if your team looses. With Joe that's not going to happen. In reference to Madonna  to me that is ridiculous to pay that kind of money her, Lady Gaga, Usher etc, are no different than  cirque-de-sole,  a traveling circus

Amen, Joe's prices are more reasonable than a lot of other artists. and yeah, go check out the professional sports ticket prices, you will be astounded. I cannot justify the cost of tickets to see even the Atlanta Hawks in my own backyard.
I just checked on pricing for TPAC at Nashville,TN on May 10 and where I want to sit is $59 plus service charge. TPAC is a state of the art group of concert halls, already been there once to see him and the sound was amazing.
I paid $40 or $45 to see Jeff Beck back in the mid 90's. I paid $52 per ticket to see U2 on the popmart tour, later 90's. Where is the argument that his tickets are overpriced? It just ain't so, it doesn't hold water. Get in early, don't buy from the scalpers.

I have no beef with ticket prices. A HUGE problem I have is getting online at the crack of tickets going on sale and getting 26th row or something similar. Absolutely no chance of the choice seats. There is something wrong...tickets are being held back and going to scalpers or whatever. One show I saw a woman go up to the window and buy tickets an hour before showtime. I was a bit surprised near showtime when she and her date sat down 5 rows in front of us. To me, this is the real downside of playing the larger venues joe plays, at least as far as his fans are concerned.

Maybe thats why we dont get good seats in CHEESEVILLE cause Joe dont want you in the FRONT ROW BOB UCKER

Love u Le Roy

at least we dont have seat problems in germany as there are mostly standing venues or mixed ones.
if you come soon enough you will be in front. thats what we always do.
i have said what i think about the ticket prices he gets now, everybodys decision, but way much to high for somebody who has not written much music history yet and surly much to high for lot of people who dont write anything here. maybe he and the people round him will be down to earth somewhen again.
