Fiona Apple

[Yada]

I don't 90 dollars want to go.

After fees, it's probably only $20 more...

Still not worth it to me.  If I hadn't seen her, probably.  But, not really.  I don't like spending over 50 bucks unless it's something really great.

I would still love to find out the exact capacity of this gig. If anyone finds out, lemme know. Curious.

[Vas Deferens]

did you guys try calling Sixth and I?  that's how I usually get tix for their events there and no service charge.

[Vas Deferens]

agenthal: it's about 900

This confuses me... You're willing to spend probably $67 on an artist, but not $23 extra dollars? What if it was only $10 extra?

Alrighty. The internet just has so many different ones listed.  Well Brooklyn is only 550, so this is gonna be tough. Eeeek.

[K8teebug]

It was 53 with fees.  Not 67.  And no, I'm not willing to spend 90 or 100 dollars on someone I've already seen.

Should have been will call only

I don't mind paying that much.  it seems like everything costs 50 dollars now for anyone who's had more than 2 albums out.

I feel like artists that had success some time ago and whose main fan base doesn't really attend shows regularly or follow new music (like Fiona Apple's) generally charge more for shows at the same or similarly-sized venues than artists with fans who listen to new music and regularly attend shows.

This has nothing to do with how many albums the artist has released or how "successful" the artist is.

[agenthal]

Meaning they have middle aged casual fans who don't mind throwing down some dough for nostalgia.

[Vas Deferens]

she only tours every 5 years right?

yep, $50 is about right. It's not like I will remember what I paid for the show 5 years from now...
