Pump the brakes sir. For my Metallica ticket for next August, again, I have GA field tickets, granted not Snakepit but still GA pit tickets, and after fees they were $406.80 for TWO NIGHTS. I’m not complaining about that at all, what I’m saying is unacceptable is that since the 2016 reunion, GNR have released 3 “new” songs and that’s it, and they have kept this weird small put up front and seats everywhere else in order to charge an elevated pit price. Which, if they were actively releasing new music and functioning like an actual band producing music I may not have as much of an issue with it. But aside from rotating in a few new songs there’s no justifying a ticket price like $375 before fees for a pit ticket when nothing has changed since 2016 and quite frankly, the opening act sucks (I’m talking about Fenway so I don’t get Carrie Underwood or AIC) it’s unacceptable. I’m sorry if that opinion upsets you.
Considering the tiny little pit they use at the stadiums in the US, the fact that pit tickets are available two weeks before the show is concerning. And obviously the promoters know it because they’re offering 4 ticket bundles for $99 at this point and put tickets went from $375 to $149. If the demand were there for the tickets they wouldn’t be dropping prices that hard.
