QOTSA all the way! definitely!

Got tickets for Trix/Antwerp; although that one sold out in 1,5 minutes apparently…
AB was just impossible… Never had so much troubles with their website; the word “exploded” was used there fairly well mr beast…

QOTSA in Paris on May ; SOLD OUT in a few minutes. As much as Kyuss gigs or QOTSA ones, I’ve never seen that before here in France that a tour is sold out in a few minutes.

My brother tried for an hour and a half to get tickets with zero success. I cant understand why they are playing such small venues…

Bankability. Just bankability. Nothing more.

@Gav’ : I Read somewhere that for the S/T Album tour,they wanted to perform in smaller places for the intimate atmosphere…and I guess for the London date it would be special as it will happen for Josh’s B-day…if you combine that with the fact they’re getting more and more popular…About buying tickets online in the UK and Ireland ( you can tell me if i’m wrong or not),someone told me that people are not really “limited ” about the number of tickets they’d like to buy ( 12 by credit card ) and The Big Events agencies take advantage of this through their software by ” spying” ( buying tickets by dozen ) and then sell them twice or three time the price…Here for the French dates ( Paris and Strasbourg),it was quite easier we were limited to 4 tickets by credit card and they were on sale by 2 following “waves” the same day…you just had to be patient (and fast for sure…)…And apparently for the Brussels date,the best way to get a ticket was to queue in front of the venue when they began the sale,for what I heard

The Dublin was limited to 8, yes 8, per transaction!! All the ‘scalpers’ buy 8 each and sell them for 3 or 4 times their price.

Also, that “type the following letters” thing doesn’t help the average person. The scalpers buy so many tickets every day, that they can read those fucked up letters easier and quicker than someone who doesn’t buy tickets everyday. So even if you get in quick enough, by the time it takes to read and type those letters without making a mistake, the scalper has jumped ahead of you in the queue. Totally fucked up situation.

They really should go back to selling physical tickets from retail outlets. That way the real fan can queue outside the store all night… something the average scalper will not do.

Yeah,The old way to buy tickets could be fairer by queuing in the line ( “first arrived first served” ) …the bad thing is that wouldn’t be good for people who won’t be able to take a break during their worktime to go to tickets sellers.A friend of mine posted this on the QOTSA facebook page,it is what the Arctick Monkeys did to “fight” the scalpers.I don’t know if it will be the more the efficient way but for sure,it will limit the risks :

“This is a concert for fans only and the following rules are in place to ensure that tickets do not get sold on and fans do not pay a higher price for their tickets.

The lead booker will be asked to present the card used during the booking to gain entry into the venue. Failure to do so will result in the customer being turned away and no refunds will be issued. There are no exceptions to this rule.

The surname of the lead booker and the last four digits of the card used to make the booking will be printed on each ticket. The surname and card details cannot be changed once the booking has been made.

If you are booking more than one ticket your guests must arrive at the concert at the same time as you. Failure to do so will result in the guests being turned away.

All tickets will be scanned at the entry to the concert.

Tickets cannot be resold or transferred under any circumstances. If See or SJM Concerts reasonably believe this to be the case the barcode on the ticket will be invalidated, prohibiting entry to the concert.

Please note there is a ticket limit of 4 per billing address.”

The ticket agencies themselves are the biggest touts going. They also have the daft racket of ‘pre-sale’ - like a tout would never sign up for those lists.

The music business is finally turning in on itself and bands should take more responsibility for putting out there own music and moving away from labels.

As such the bigger bucks now lie with the live performances.

I think we’ve all been going to gigs long enough to see the rise, not only in ticket prices, but more in these additional charges (and the joke postage), is exponential.

I’m left wondering just how much a band would make given this increase.

But now we are being forced to believe that the good old ‘tout’ is still the problem. They have as much chance as buying online as anyone.

But now we have to regressive, authoritarian action by some groups that apparently when you’ve bought a ticket it isn’t actually your property.

Glastonbury is the biggest joke going - the hippy dream turned into a farce of photo ID and barcodes.

I’ve never touted in my life, but there have been times I’ve never been able to get to a gig and if one of my mates can’t go, then the ticket is going to get sold to a stranger, but apparently this isn’t good enough for some 3rd-rate Sheffield band and the rest of their ilk.

Likewise I’ll admit I’ve bought off a tout, oddly always for Manchester academy gigs, twice and oddly got a better price that my mates did with there ‘legally’ purchased tickets.

There are still box offices you can queue up and get tickets for when they first go on sale.

I’m going to Kyuss in April, getting a ticket the same way anyone else would.
