The Grateful Thread

Anything over $100 is pricey IMO. I've pretty much dropped out of seeing Phish due to their pricing. I'd rather see Panic for $45 or moe. For even less. But that's just me. Everyone is different.

Phish tickets were $60 last fall... More for New Years...
But $60 isn't so bad

 

[deadheadskier]

Didn't have the opportunity this fall, but I seem to recall Great Woods being $75 this summer. Even if it were $60, I'd still rather pay $45 for Panic. Actually prices being equal I'd rather see Panic the past fifteen years or so, but that's just me. Still love Phish, but not as much as I did in the 90s.
Hopefully Panic comes back to Boston this summer.

 

[Funky_Catskills]

sure cool whatever...

 

[WoodCore]

Sure do miss the days seeing Phish, Panic, Moe, etc. for less than $20. Those were the days!

Wonder if they'll do webcasts of the Chicago show??

My first Phish show was like $10 at the door of the Wetlands..

This is too subjective.. But it's all about what you think is worth the price...
$60 for this band - no problem..
$50 for this band - meh not so much..

I think there will be a video component to Chicago...
Prbly won't be announced for a while...

 

[deadheadskier]

I'd be shocked if there wasn't a webcast.

 

[deadheadskier]

And I paid $7 for Ghost of Jupiter tickets tonight. I actually bought an extra ticket because I didn't think they were charging enough. So there's that side too. Haha

 

[Funky_Catskills]

Like I said.. Only you can decide what's worth paying for...

I always pay to get in to a show..
I love paying for music..

 

[deadheadskier]

Absolutely. My point was while I think some bands are grossly overpaid and their tickets too expensive, there are many more who are vastly underpaid and should charge more, so I pay more. I do it all the time for local / regional bands

 

[Funky_Catskills]

And my point is... If it's worth it to you.. Then go...

Thats all... I wouldn't drop $60 to see WSP... My personal thing..

I go to shows to have my mind blown... Not to pinch pennies..

 

[deadheadskier]

Great dude, have a ball. No need to be critical of others with different financial priorities than you.

wow.. sorry.. I didn't think $10 wold break you I apologize...
Searching my comment for something critical about someones financial status or whatever...

I wasn't talking about your lack of ability to pay for something at all..

There's bands I wouldn't pay $1 for...
Like WSP..

 

[deadheadskier]

Not sure why you even decided to take this conversation this way.....all I said was the boys are getting paid......

sorry... really..

Im out.. hope you make it!!! If you want to of course.. All good..

I love to see Chicago and it be epic time for 50/year anniversary maybe on way to move to Colorado I can hope.

 

[Kerovick]

I am planning on going even though it's an 11 hour drive for me.

 

[spring_mountain_high]

if i lived within a five hour drive it would be a no brainer, but realistically, for someone on either coast, between tickets, transportation, hotel, food/drink/fun it will be $1000 minimum to make it happen...with a newborn, a 5 year old and 100+ real grateful dead shows in the memory banks, i just can't justify the cost and effort

i'm sure it will be a great time, however, and the music will be good...wish i had the unlimited time and money to make it happen, but at this stage in my life i'd rather use that coin and time on a family trip

to those that make it i hope it rocks...great north special been on my mind

LOL DHS gets in another argument with a AZ poster. Why am I not surprised.

 

[Vortex]

Ok changed my mind. Bought a plane ticket and reserved a room. Anyone with a suggestion for a place to stay i would love it. i am 2.5 miles away. It averaged out to $243 a night. Thurs arrive, Monday depart. Looking to get closer and pay less. See all there. Thanks
