  1. ISO: Golden Circle Gelsenkirchen and/or Hannover.
  2. Golden Circle Stuttgart!

  3. Ticket prices for Dublin are off the charts way too expensive for the average fan, the big acts like Bruce,Metallica, Pearl Jam, U2 and ACDC need to take on TM and stamp out dynamic pricing as it's getting way too expensive to go to gigs and putting off hardcore fans who just can't afford it anymore, The Cure refused to allow it last year on their US tour Robert Smith called it a “greedy scam” and noting that artists have a choice on whether or not to participate in it.

    It still sold out?

    The Irish legislation targeting touts was well-intentioned but dynamic pricing is the real problem
  5. Those prices are insane but the know devoted fans will pay that rather than miss out. Artists won’t pull in the casual fans at that price.

    Dynamic pricing is prohibited in EU, so there's no need to stamp it out.

    And as long as
    - albums don't sell at all,
    - spotify keeps stealing from artists with lesser clicks than Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Billie Eilish, Beyonce etc
    - costs of making a show are increasing rapidly
    - shows sell out in a couple of minutes
    I don't think any band will stand up against Live Nation

    "prohibited" Ticketmaster just use "Platinum Tickets" instead

    No it's not prohibited it just isn't as common a practice as it is in the US but it's happening a lot more often with popular bands where there is big demand for tickets ,but they have the option to opt out of it as The Cure have demonstrated but there needs to be a collective action from the elite acts and oppose it otherwise it will just become the norm.
  10. Yes they do, but the the platinum don't change from seat to seat. Nor do the prices change.
