    K... not U2.
  4. Every major corporation has "public goals." But the private goal is to do whatever is possible to make the 10-100 highest ranking executives richer than they can
    possibly imagine. And paying front line employees as little as they can get away with.

    A music artist like U2, Elton John, etc are like tiny corporations within themselves. Many operate with their fans in mind, and don't want to bite the hand that feeds.
    Many could care less. I assume U2 has their fan's best interests in there somewhere. Springsteen, as a seemingly far left winger really should be aware of where the
    money is, where it is going, etc....but he's gotta be like 72 or so. When I'm 72, if I know how to put my pants on, and am legally allowed to drive, it will be a win.

    It sounds like the Springsteen camp may not have been prepared for the backlash. With Springsteen's career long routine of caring about the common man, it will be interesting to see how this plays out. I think he's a good guy, and it will get sorted out.
    I hope U2 don't falter here, as it is a slippery slope once you do. The quality of the show for most of these old acts is going to decline due the singer's voice failing (Jon
    Bon Jovi, a great example). Bono's voice sounds better now than it did on the Vertigo tour...but he's a candidate for losing his voice, but glad we had so many years of his vocal ability.

    It makes no sense. No one is queuing to get tickets for an airline flight. It's just an excuse to implement this lame thing.


    Sure they are, you just don’t see them. There is a reason a flight from say, NYC to Miami, is one price in mid-August (aka Rick Astley) and another higher price during spring break in March (aka Coldplay) and likely an even higher price between Xmas and New Year’s Eve (aka Taylor Swift).

    Concerts, like a flight, are a very high fixed cost business. For concerts with dynamic pricing the very best seats tend go for much higher prices than historically charged and seats in the upper decks go for much less than historically charged. Net/net fans usually pay more in aggregate for the best shows and Live Nation makes more money. Every fan gets to vote with their wallet.
  6. Could work if they start on East Coast late August and end West Coast October. Lines up with previous touring years.
  7. There will be no dynamic pricing for fan club ticket sales.

    Also, it has been confirmed that fan club members will get first dibs on ALL of the tickets. It's safe to say that at least some of the Vegas shows will sell out through the fan club. If there is anything left over after the fan club sales, those tickets will be made available to the public and they will be subject to dynamic pricing, but the days of limited fan club allotments ended with the Taylor Swift fiasco.

    What are you talking about. We haven’t had any news on how the tickets will be handled. In the past, it’s always been a certain number of tickets allotted for fanclub. I highly doubt they will a lot all tickets to fanclub otherwise there wouldn’t be any leftover for guest celebrities and giveaways.

    Seeing as this is also TM, it’s possible the fanclub sale will be dynamic. You just won’t know it until you buy your tickets and see the seat next to you in the general sale for less, the following day.

    What are the sources you're using??

    Taylor Swift went on sale in November. Bono’s tickets for his April / May shows went on sale months after that with limited fan club allotment.
  11. No way will they sell out a 20,000 venue to the fan club. 95% of fan club members won't be going to Vegas in my opinion.
  12. I imagine fan club allocations to be very small, to leave room for many VIPs, locals, casino deals, and of course room to spare to make sure they can fit everyone in even if the stage ends up larger or something.
