  1. Originally posted by Alvin:The Cure announced NA tour and this is what they stated:
    "THE CURE HAVE AGREED ALL TICKET PRICES, AND APART FROM A FEW HOLLYWOOD BOWL CHARITY SEATS, THERE WILL BE NO ‘PLATINUM’ OR ‘DYNAMICALLY PRICED’ TICKETS ON THIS TOUR"
    Their latest statement is really interesting.

    Thanks for posting that, otherwise wouldn't have known. Just picked up two for London
  3. Interesting indeed. States that have laws to protect scalpers - holy ground for Ticketmaster (and fuckers like Oseary)....
  4. What, there is legislation in NY protecting a scalper’s “right” to buy a ticket and sell it at a much higher price? Man, there is a lot of good aspects to a free-market economy but this sounds like “greed is good” capitalism.
  5. ..
  6. It's interesting that an English band would take this approach. American, not so much. Mike it depends on what party is in State office. NY you just expect scalping.
  7. Nows a good time to see if artists actually value their fans, what their intentions are, etc. The Cure can manage this, others can as well.

  8. They still keep an eye... good job!

    That's United States of America for ya!

  11. Ticketmaster being Ticketmaster
  12. I understand the fees are more than the tickets itself but is it really that obsessive? The fees work out around $22 per person. $43 all in for a ticket isn't bad.
