Slumping ticket sales

[mankie]

Let's play guess the reason why?
 
 This is my guess!
 
 *The average price of a ticket shot up from $26.05 in 1995 to $50.35 last year, according to Pollstar.*
 
 Gosh, I'm so smart......  :roll:

Perception = reality, so maybe more places should do what 9:30 does. If a show is only going to sell 500 tickets, just move the stage forward, and voila! Sell-out City!

that's because in 'ninety-five, mtv cribs wasn't invented.  now all rock stars are tyring to outdo one another, and pools lined with golden champagne glasses filled with 'ninety-one cristal, cost the serious $$.  plus, ebay wasn't there either to jack the up idea of the scammer trade and their elusive victims.  everyone pays for everything in the end.  i remember when it was $5 to park in the 930 lot.

Most shows worth seeing nowadays still have reasonable ticket prices.

The fact that shows are selling poorly is the best thing that can happen for fans.  No one should have to pay 100 dollars for a typical concert.  Hopefully, ticket prices come down or at least stabilize.

And hopefully, CC's illegal activities (im sure there are plenty) will be discovered and they'll be driven out of business. That should help considerably.
