Justice bites off more than it can chew, swallows crow i

[sweetcell]

to all those who couldn't believe this show when it was first announced... you've been vindicated.  looks like they sold very few tickets: they went from the main arena (20,000) to the theater (cap. 5,600) - and there are still plenty of 200-level tickets left, a month after onsale.  ouch.

I wonder how much the acts were guaranteed. If I was any of them I'd steal the promoters' passports.

Did they reduce the absurd $50-60 price tags?

pit = $59.50 (sold out)
 200 level = $49.50 (currently available: row V)
 300 level: $35.00
 plus TM rapage fees, of course.

It'd be cheaper to drive to philly or dc, see them and drive back.
 
 edit: Cheaper than paying the higher two prices that is.

someone obviously miscalibrated.  justice sold out the astoria in london, 1,600 - 2,000 capacity.
 
 when do we see ed banger acts in dc??

So is it going to be $50-$60 to see them here?

Never mind, I answered my own question.  The other dates all seem to be in the $25-$30 range.  Sucks to be in NYC I guess.

there are more acts on the bill in NYC, and i suspect it's a "bigger" show - more lights and FX, bells, whistles... but yeah, shows typically cost more in the bad apple.

probably because they wanted more than an DC promoter was willing to pay them...

Shouldn't be hard to make a good guestimate.

They're $30 for the Baltimore show on sale now at ticketmaster.com even though they're not listed on the Sonar site or yet mentioned on the myspace music tour page (but WAS mentioned on the FAQ of this board, thanks!)

justice sold out Terminal 5 in NYC, that concert had a triumphant air to it.  i think that show went to their heads - came back too soon and too big.

dont forget they sold out 2 nights at Terminal 5 - a couple of nights apart. I think it was too soon to bring them back, and the price that everyone else is now paying to see them, is what we paid at T5 ($25 or so).
 
 Have you noticed how many great bands are playing in NYC on the same night as Justice. Thats part of the problem as its also the same night as the 'Rock Over London' show at Bowery & Mercury Lounge. So bad night on top of it all. Ill be seeing Jose Gonzalez that night and possibly Pigeon Detectives later on.
