So who's gonna go see Soundgarden?
« on: May 11, 2011, 10:03:01 am »
On the fence right now at $70. If it was $70 at the VC, I'd have already made up my mind to go. Shouldn't be THAT difficult getting out to god forsaken Fairfax during rush, but who am I kidding?

If QOTSA were opening I'd go in a hearbeat.  But seeing Cornell and Sixth and I a few weeks ago makes this a bit less intriguing, personally.

i am going but i agree with stone the crow

hard to top seeing cornell from third row center 15 feet away at the 6th and i synagogue


basically i been sort of swayed by my friends and what i think is pretty reasonable price for being on the floor

still...i had to buy 2 tickets so i hope i dont get stuck with an extra

i want to catch this tour, but looks like i'll be working in NJ at that time.  might need to catch the show in philly or AC.

mid-week patriot center shows are a pain to get to.  ticketmaster lists a time of 7:30, which i believe is the time the opener hits the stage.  pretty much means you'll be fighting traffic if you want to make it in time for mars volta.

they were good at Lollapalooza last year, but definitely not worth $70

i'd say thats a steal...if you have a high paying job and $70 is a drop in the bucket.

high paying job? if you are like most and pick your shows $65 is doable...its what? 6 hrs of minimum wage?

as always YMMV

I make above average pay, but by the time I pay my taxes, feed my 401K, feed my daughter's college fund, pay her pre-school tuition, feed my family, pay my mortgage, and pay other bills, $70 does seem like an awful lot for a show. Especially when the 8-12 other shows each year are in the 15-25$ range, and in smaller venues.

Anyway, $70 to keep their bassist from being homeless again is a better charity donation than most, I reckon.

sounds like your problem is not the $70 but all your other expenses

Probably much less than yours does. I drink about 6 ozs of beer per day, on average.
