Obviously you have chosen to make your first post after encountering a secondary scalper site. Joe's tickets run from $75 to $100 plus fees max at the time of normal sales. Try the venue or ticketmaster if the show hasn't sold out. Welcome and next time tell us a bit more about yourself instead of a rant about something that is not under Joe's control.
Rick.
I am sure from previous posts Joe would shake his head in disgust that scalpers are charging these prices. I saw a post on FB where a lady said they paid $500.00 (per ticket) for front row seats and she thought she got a deal. She got a deal alright, a rotten one. Fans should always check the artists' site, the venue, and Ticketmaster first to see what prices are. Plus you risk the factor of getting to the show and you have bogus tickets in your hand.
From your post it does not sound like you have purchased these tickets and you shouldn't.

Good answer Rick.
MD Brewery, wlecome on here, as if you are a fan of Joe's music this is the place to be, but it is also the place to find out the facts.
Ask the question here about the prices and I guarantee someone will put you straight if not from the membership then direct from J&R Adventures as they watch and read all this stuff.
Prices have risen, sure, but the numbers you are talking don't sound like the official prices.
By the way.....the WTF.....are you also from Wisconsin?........................
sorry but it was an in joke on here a few years past.

I guess ticketmaster is a scalper site?
Is ticketmaster a scalper site? Maybe it is just the landmark theater in Richmond VA who is ripping people a new one.
I show the tickets on the Landmark site are $71 to $91 with no orch. pit tickets left. That would leave me to believe that it is indeed a scalper or second hand seller, something new to ticket master that I have seen recently.
I guess they call them "Resale Seats" on the ticketmaster site. I'm going to see Black Sabbath Friday night and got on the site to pick up an extra ticket for a buddy the other day and it was the first time I had seen that option. Maybe it's been an option for a while but the first time I'd seen it.
richmond-theater.com click on November. Click on Joes show. The best seats are now $450.00 each. The most affordable are 111.00
When you are looking at the ticket prices scroll down to the bottom and read the fine print.
General. Richmond-Theater.com acts as an intermediary between buyers and ticket sellers ("TICKET SELLERS") to facilitate the purchase and sale of event tickets, and as such is not directly involved in the actual ticket sale transaction between the buyers and TICKET SELLERS.
MD,
Did you REALLY think those ticket prices were legit??
You should've hit the "Tour Dates" link on the home page here Joe's website and then hit the
"buy tickets" tab next to the Richmond show.
Tell how this works out for you.
A fairly new ploy by the scalpers is to hijack the link from the search engine. Go back and try again or use Joe's tour links.
Good luck.
Rick

The official site for the Landmark Theatre in Richmond is http://www.landmarktheater.net
If you go there, click on events, find Joe's listing, and then search for tickets they are $91 for best available which is the highest price ticket.
