Kinda dumb to complain about ticket prices. If they sold out the 6000-odd tux at the higher price…good for them, they got market value.

How much were tickets after fees? I’m only trying to buy them under face. Someone’s trying to sell me them for $60 a night which seems high

3-day pass worked out to $74.65 per night for the upper sections after fees. $55/night without fees, fwiw.
Gotcha thanks. So $60 per night is pretty reasonable I guess. Depends if I wanna try for under face or just under face+fees.
Probably only gonna do one or two nights

Anyone know if Bus to show or any other service will be running? Bus to show has it on there site but you can’t select the actual tickets.
I also have a Friday ticket for face if anyone wants.
Saw this one mentioned somewhere else. Had never even heard of them so cannot vouch. https://www.buspartyco.com/

$75 before fees to see UM with no openers is a lot more than it used to be. Not long ago, ‘fans’ could get a 3 day pass for $100 with 2 openers a night.
Why are there no openers?
Why did tickets get so much more expensive?
Why does none of this get traction with you?
Yes, UM had a rough year financially. So did a lot of people.

I’m probably completely wrong but doesn’t the band have a cost to play a venue? Venue pays that price to get them there then the venue/promoter sets prices for tickets and such. I just had this moment where I thought, maybe none of this is really UM’s decision on pricing and such. However, I’m probably way off.

These shows are close to selling out. Clearly they were able to find a price point that worked for a number of fans.
(Do you honestly think bands should be making sacrifices financially because they are guessing some fans struggled in 2020?)
I honestly do not know for certain why there are not openers. Generally, they are shit on around here.

These all seem like pretty easy questions to answer. Demand for tix is higher so bands (not just um) think they can sell at a higher cost without the need for an opener. If they can sell it out (or close to it) at that price with no opener, why would they want to lower costs and pay other bands?

I’m not so sure about the points being made here. The tickets were in high demand at those prices when there were very few being released, and the lotto system enabled the band to sell more than even the initial demand. I would imagine tickets being sold on secondary market tell a different story about demand and value.

That’s the problem with the secondary market. There’s no reason for the band to base their prices on it. If they sell want they want at the price point they want, why should they care? Ticketmaster has started allowing prices to fluctuate in real time based on demand. That’s the true extension of basing prices on the secondary market (basing them on real world demand) and I think we’d all like the avoid that.
I’m all for shitting on UM about weird ticket price stuff (“we can’t play the Auditorium because it’s too expensive for our fans, but please come spend $75/night at the Beacon”) but this one seems like a reach.

No openers at Red Rocks sounds fantastic. Wasn’t PPPP supposed to open in 2020?

Lol I’d pay more to make sure I don’t have to see them open. Last good openers were JRAD and ZPZ
