Eagles Ticket Prices

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well, soda, I agree with most of your observations here, especially about Lefsetz and his 'man' crush on Henley. I also get the feeling that Lefsetz has no such 'relationship' going on with Glenn, and therefore, just ignores his existence most of the time. As I've said many times, as much as I love Don, I hate it when fans and/or media portray the band as "Henley and Company" or "Henley and some other guys". Not only is it irresponsible, misleading, and untrue, but it is very demeaning and insulting to Glenn, Joe, and Timothy, IMHO.

The question is - do they make more money selling out a venue with lower prices, or having some empty seats but charging more for the ones that are filled?

Now, since we don't have the numbers to do the math here, I hesitate to guess which option is the more lucrative for the band. On one hand, it seems like the more people that attend a show, then the higher the sales on programs, t-shirts, etc. However, I don't know if these increased sales are high enough to make up the difference????

Unless youre a sucker like me. In Dublin hubby handed me €200 ion front of the merchandising stand. I won't tell you how much I bought but his comment a few minutes later was 'I was expecting change from that' Not to mention that I had already bought stuff in Belfast 2 days earlier as well.

Put this in the Phoenix thread - but I just saw that for that show, the best seats are on sale for $180.

Good grief - I never thought I'd be happy about paying $180.00 for a concert ticket, but, at least, they aren't raising the prices (yet).

Same price range for San Jose and Vancouver. Makes me glad that I passed on the Bowl. Yeah!

Tickets haven't even gone on sale yet for Chicago and look what you can already find on Ebay:

Where did they get those?

[sodascouts]

I don't know - maybe they took some cues from the brokers - look what they've got available already!

At least those top out at "only" $900!

I thought the AMEX pre-sale was avail for Chicago, no? I "thought" I heard that on the radio.

In any case, how do the brokers get the "good" seats when the General Public can't? So, this is just another case of the TM/LN being in bed w/the brokers. It makes me so angry.

Wouldn't it be nice to actually get a center section, fifth row tix for face value on the day tix go on sale. Again, HOW is it legal to hold back those tix? How? How is it legal to work w/brokers (resellers) for multiple times face value? How??? I'm telling you, one day, I see class action lawsuit...

I can't begin to tell you how much I agree with your statement, LTL.
