I've been impressed that U2 has been doing really well on keeping their prices down for the 360° Tour. For as big a show as they put on, the ticket prices are not bad.

FF tix went on sale today for their show in DC @ D.A.R. Constitution Hall. $33.50+$10.20 for handling fees. Not a big enough fan to go see them live, though.

I'll be curious to know if Fleet Foxes sell out those shows. That seems absurdly high..

stu, what do you mean by lost income?


From record sales. That's their logic anyway. They're forced to keep the band financially viable by going on the road. Some bands can't even make money doing that since they don't tour smart i.e., taking a full bus and paying crew members who do nothing when they could scale back the road operation. There are other options in the space between van + trailer and Prevost bus.
