I preferred GA until I went to my first amphitheater show in 15 years and was fucking miserable the entire time haha. You couldn't sit in your seat anyway, but it was a half mile closer to the stage.

skycriesmary Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I went with 4 GA tickets for Portland. I didn't even look at the seated options as Moda seats are meh at best. Yes, standing for two hours gets old, but for this band, I won't be complaining. Thanks for the heads up on the presale.

nancy_raygun Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I was able to get 2 GA tickets for KC. I would have gone for seats but it seemed like the seats were going to be really far from the band. It was a little more than I really wanted to spend, but definitely a lot better than they'll be going on the 2nd market after they definitely sellout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know if this has better sound quality than the From the Vaults Capitol release (which I have, that sounds pretty awful)? I picked up the XL pressing of The Bends and it sounds much better than the Capitol release. Definitely worth re-buying this album, for me at least, to finally get a good sounding copy. highfives and Cloudsbelow 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achillesstand7 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Well, fuck me. I tried for both Berkeley and Santa Barbara and didn't luck out on either. I guess it was at least a distraction from the rest of the events going on today... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 If it makes you feel any better, I secured 2 for Berkeley and I don't know how I feel about it. Opted for the $7 insurance on each ticket because I've never spent $100+ on a show, so out the door it was $240 plus change. You'd think I'd feel victorious but I actually feel like I just stood by and watched Ticketmaster diddle my wallet, grab its throat, and spit in its face just for the fun of it. Fortunately my better half is a hell of a catch and she's covering her half of the purchase, but $120 is still far and away the most I've ever spent on a show. She's thrilled and that's enough for me, but I hope to never cross that price threshold on a ticket, going forward. lampwick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I didn't even try and get tickets, but a friend of mine bought an extra and offered it to me I lucked out. Not entirely sure where we ended up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanishinghouse Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 A swing and a miss. I tried to get tickets for either night in Berkeley and missed all being on my work computer and phone right at 10am. Five of my others friends all tried and failed as well. Still debating if the demand was still that high or bots had a major play in it. Resale are already up too $250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejc625 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I'm so happy I'll be getting to see Radiohead for the first time ever in a April. Somehow managed to get two GA admission tickets for the Atlanta show. I was afraid if I missed this tour, I might not get another chance.

I found my ticket stub from the last time they played the Greek in Berkeley and prices 11 years ago were close to $60 including fees. I guess Radiohead has always been an expensive ticket but seeing as I just saw them at OSL the price this time around made it an easy pass. lampwick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morfiend Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I got 4 seated seats in Seattle. At $115 a pop it definitely hurt but I've never seen Radiohead live and it's long overdue. ejc625 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there's a little bit of inflation to consider over the last 11 years, but that's a huge spike. I'd love to see them for $60, holy shit. A few weeks before Radiohead, in April, I'll be catching Sigur Rós – those were $75 after fees, and I thought that was pretty hefty. I haven't seen either band live so I'm excited, don't get me wrong, but my bank account certainly doesn't share the same level of enthusiasm. tvham 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told myself I'd probably never find myself spending more than that, prior to this morning. Really hope they're both worth it – a lot of my all-time favorite performances I've been lucky enough to catch were had for $14 at small bar-venues, or $30 at music halls / ballrooms. Typically favor those a lot more than larger arenas, and not just on account of the price. lampwick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw these at $95 and figured they'd be $110 with fees what I was curious what I had paid when they played the Arena in San Jose about 5 years ago. The email receipt on that was $86 so they must have been $70-75 I'm guessing 5 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
