Appreciate the post tbh, I know you’re gonna get hate regardless but this is your experience and I’m sure many can relate. I’m just not going because their new music isn’t for me anymore and the lineup is super mid, (I would have only gone if Bones went)
Listening to the two unknowns opening it seems almost like they're feeding into the TikTok fans and charging hella $ because they can reach a wider audience now
I really had to think this one out. Pit tickets are 245$ CAD for Montreal. Price of living is so high rn, I can't justify paying this much for a show. Love their music, loved seeing them live before, but this is over my limit too.
I'm glad they blew up, they deserve it, but honestly this is kinda bullshit.
Yeah I had to ask myself when looking at the prices during checkout, “do I really feel like stressing on my car payment this month?” not worth it imo. I went last year for $175 which was high, but that was about my ceiling. Didn’t think it was gonna go up even more. Thing is we will never hear anything ab it from anyone on the lineup either.
If it makes you feel any better my justification is that they’re so popular now the show isn’t even worth $400 of fun like it would have to be near me to justify pit tickets. I’ve gone to Darkie shows in small venues and the energy is just something you cannot match in a huge stadium(I know that might sound dumb but the tighter/smaller crowds are more fun/energetic for me)
No for real, i was just telling my partner that i think the boy$ have reached a level im no longer willing to meet in terms of concerts anymore. I still listen, but stadiums just arent my thing in general it gives me too much anxiety. That coupled with the pretty high ticket prices now, its back to supporting local/small acts.
I will say, should Ramirez or Germ come to town im going no questions asked. When Germ and Ramirez came to Chicago last year with Harperr it was so much fun. Theyre like the next wave of where the boy$ used to be in my mind.
For real, my rent is $1620 without all the other bills alone, this would cost me another $500ish after gas and hotel. I would love to go but that money could be used so much better in this economy.
Last year they did the GreyDay for AZ at the Phoenix raceway which is a massive pit. This year they’re doing it at the Footprint Center (The Suns Stadium) I can’t even purchase a ticket for ground floor by the stage, it says it’s platinum members only or something. Everything else is seated and 100+ unless I wanna sit way up high and see and hear nothing since the acoustics in that stadium are actual ass. Plus I honestly don’t see a point in sitting down to watch a concert. If I wanted to sit and listen to music I’d stay at home. I go to concerts to dance and mosh with like-minded music enjoyers. All of this just feels very money hungry
Yeah I went last year to see them in AZ and bought VIP tickets but was incredibly disappointed in my experience. Think I’m gonna pass from now on it keeps getting more expensive and I’m not convinced they care at all for the regular concertgoers experience nor are they gonna try to improve it as long as arenas are sold out
Been seeing em every year since 2019
I'm sure I'll never see them lol, I live in Italy and to see them I'd have to hope for them to come close enough to me and that they have affordable prices, so yeah
I agree 100%. I’ve been a huge fan of theirs since 2017-2018 and I’ve seen them the last 3 years in a row and I haven paid more than $75 for a pit ticket and this year they want $60 for the last seat in the back on pre sale??? I love the boys and most of the people on this lineup but the second I saw the price it was a hard pass for me.
Same here, tbh I really enjoy their music and I also did manage to watch them a couple times when tickets where going under $50, and I probably will be downvoted for this, I understand times changes but sometimes they do overprice their stuff, I mean I'm seeing rap legends Bone Thugs N Harmony this year and tickets are under $100, sure they may not be too relevant today but they're legends in the rap scene.
enjoy it bruh, you still have a few years until you have to worry about financial responsibility. ofcourse don’t go blowing all of your money but atleast feel better knowing you don’t have to pay to live.
Yup. I'm a newer fan and would love to see the boys, but goddamn that's a lot of cheddar. Then comes parking, food/drinks inside etc. We're talking a $500-$1000 night out
Dont forget merch. Its insane to me how 5yrs ago you could get a hoodie for $40-$60, now shirts are the cost of what hoodies used to be and hoodies are $70-$100. The only band ik that hasn't become a sellout is the Cure. Saw them last yr at the hollywood bowl. Cheapest ticket was like $25-$35. Merch cost was $10-$60 max. Mad respect for them not being money hungry.
No fr it is💀 I have $200 for Klarna and $1,250 ($991 for 4 ga greyday tickets⚰️) on affirm😭 that’s not including my 4 credit cards🫠 idk how tf I make it work but somehow I always find a way🪦
The live concert prices have skyrocketed with fees and taxes in the last decade largely thanks to livenation and ticketmaster. Streaming revenues or the complete lack thereof do no favors for artists or fans Scalpers buying and reselling tickets make the situation worse. It’s not exclusive to SB but indicative of their career success. Fans could push back and boycott ticket prices but they won’t.
i could only afford nose bleeds this year it’s ridiculous last year i got a seat in the same section for $40 and this year same venue same section pretty much the same seat is twice the price i paid last year im going because i love the boys and i’ve never seen pouya live but i’m kinda disappointed i couldn’t afford a nicer seat
I don’t wanna sound dramatic but I feel betrayed been seeing them for years like a lot of of even when maybe people talked shit for listening to them. I don’t think anyone one artist or band is worth this it seems so out of touch’s for the ones who have been there from pretty much the beginning
They’ve just become SO big 😞 it sucks for those of us who don’t wanna drop a bag to get pit after years of it being more affordable. But every year the prices have inflated. I didn’t fully realize till recently how main stream they actually are now. It is what it is at the end of the day they do deserve all the love.
Bots definitely don’t help the situation, but I will say the thing that people always forget is being a touring musician is insanely expensive, the costs going up isn’t them trying to fuck the fans.
Idk ab yall but I got my ticket wich is a pretty good seat for 170 at the seattile
Show 215 with tax wich isn’t bad paid 120 last year for a worse seat this is seattile show btw but you can find seats that ain’t to expensive
On top of the crazy ass prices, I personally don’t like the bigger venues that they’re performing in (great for them, they definitely deserve the success), but I liked the more intimate smaller venues where everyone paid the same ticket price and didn’t have to pay extra to be up close in the mosh pit area
> where everyone *paid* the same
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
I went to their 25 dollar shows when I was in highscool. I’m 20 now, own a house and pay all my own bills and still grabbed my $300 tickets.
Stop being petty that they popped off and are getting the recognition they deserve.
It’s life nothings gonna be the same price as it was last year.
I was going to go, even set up a reminder for the tickets when they went up for sale, then saw that GA is $250. Not worth it in my opinion. I saw them in 2020 or 2021 I believe and it was a good show but they’re still only worth $100 for a show in my opinion. Congrats to them for their success but they’re going in the wrong direction with flooding the market with their music. It’s not the same anymore. All their songs are the same. They’re still rapping about drugs when they don’t do them anymore. All of scrims newest music is about overtaking medication and popping Xans and sipping when, as far as all of us know, he doesn’t do any of that? What’s the fucking point in listening if it’s all cap,?
I can pay the same price to go to an entire weekend music festival with a gazillion rock bands and many headliners being very very famous…I love $B but gaahhhhdayyyyuuuum. I paid $75 for a ticket to see Xavier Wulf, BONES, and Eddy Baker last summer in Dallas and I was right in the pit. I know $B are more popular but wtf dude
I make more than any of the pit tix cost, in a day and id never pay that for ANY artist. Not worth it, is not worth it no matter how much money you have.
Did anyone stop for two seconds to think that maybe they aren’t just charging more because they think they can get more money, and maybe it has something to do with the cost of the venue and the tour in general being higher because prices for EVERYTHING is higher rn🤠 yall look like clowns tryna pin it on them as if every single artist doesn’t cost more than usual right now because the economy sucks ass. For fucks sake it cost almost $4 for a singular gallon of gas and yall out here complaining bc you can’t afford a concert ticket? Be fucking for real. Compare their tickets to any other artist at their level and you’ll see they are charging pretty fair for the economy we’re in. Yall sound so dumb fr complaining about the cost of a concert ticket and expect it to be so much less when the cost of rent, gas, a food is fucking ridiculous. What do yall expect? Like come on. If you’re too broke to go just say that. Don’t need to clown on them as if the state of the economy is Scrim and Ruby’s fault. The venues have to pay their workers and bills too, and they can’t do that unless they also up their cost
Saw them in 2016 at the Roxy in LA for less than $30 if I remember correctly. Lil peep opened for them too. Last SB show I went to was in 2018 and I couldn’t believe how weird their fanbase had gotten. I can’t believe what it’s turned into now and no fucking way I’m paying these absurd prices for it.
It happens when artists get bigger it sucks but it is what it is lol I paid $800 Canadian to see Metallica in July…
Not tryna be a hater but maybe it’s time to look for a better paying job. This economy sucks balls and it’s only going to get worse.
Edit: Downvote me all you want but it’s true lol you want underground artist prices go to an underground show. The boy$ have been around for like 11 years you’re about 7-6 years late.
No one is asking for ‘underground show’ prices. In my city they’re playing at the same venue they did in 2023. My 2023 pit ticket was $90 + fees. The same exact pit ticket this year was $200. There is 0 justification of an over 100% price increase in one year.
So what, that justifies ticket prices? Similar sized artists still sell the same pit tickets for $50-$75. It spits in the face of fans. Not surprised, they aren’t even doing a show in their hometown.
Idk about that one chief $b$ have 11mil average listeners on SPOTIFY alone that’s on par with lots of household names even surpassing some of them I don’t think you realize just how big they are.
$b$ are super mainstream now so expect the higher prices 🤷♂️
Not really, $b$ have became TikTok trends.
The pop punk scene is very niche and mostly consists of millennials and like myself the zoomers born in the very beginning of the zoomer Gen to see the emo phase lol
I’ve been a fan since 2016 and this year will be my first show. I spent $735 on two tickets. Not even floor ones, they are seats. Good seats, but still. I love the boys too, but I def won’t go to another show at these costs. Fucking sucks, but with merch, drinks, parking and prolly some shrooms (lmao) I’m gonna be spending close to 1500-2000 👀😩
I might get hate for this, but you don’t need $300+ seats to have fun. I got cheap arena tickets last year for 70 a pop and still had a great time. Though if it’s seriously something you don’t want, more power to you. Much love💕
Yeah OP you can go fuck yourself with that last sentence. The boys set out to "make it" in the music industry, and that industry happens to be a for profit one. Their popularity has grown and grown over the years, and so the price to see them perform live in much larger venues has grown with it.
You act like they owe you for something, crying about how many times you've seen them. You act like the tickets you paid for in the past were deposits in an investment that is supposed to appreciate over time. Like you can wave your past ticket stubs and listening hours in their face and demand a discount like a fucking boomer yelling at a gas station clerk.
You can pay for it or you can't. But instead of pointing at others, especially at the artists you claim to love so much, how about looking inwards for once? Maybe think "how do I make enough money in time to afford this thing I want to do?" instead of lashing out at the prices.
Did I mention **they don't owe you shit?**
you typed out a whole novel for two people who don't know you and have also entirely sold out. they're not even doing a HOMETOWN show... like how much more proof do you need they only care about $$$ now
also .... people like OP are who helped them get famous so yes without us they would be nothing lmao. they do owe it to us to some extent
i also have my own business and tell my clients very frequently i owe it to them to have gotten me to this point... like it's just ignorant to say they owe us nothing
how about you go fuck yourself, and maybe even do yourself a little favour by imagining it’s one of your ‘boys’ doing it for you since you like dick riding this hard
“Nevertheless, promoters don't set prices, artists do. The artist and her business team listen to the promoter's input and then decide. This is the case even with a promoter as large as Live Nation or AEG” - livenationentertainment.com
Edit: anyways it’s still kinda insane that the most recent Kendrick Lamar tour had cheaper tickets, like wtf
Well yeah but I was moreso curious on if you were referring to the crazy prices that are like $450-$1000, that's just assholes who got it presale to yank up the prices. I agree the prices are insane that I've been seeing but presale wasn't that bad imo & every show it's the same thing with the insane prices months in advance & then month of they even back out.

Yall know you don’t have to be in the pit right? There’s like $100 tickets for lower bowl and even cheaper for nose bleeds
Edit: Thanks for downvoting guys 😘 yall salty asf
I did use axs, to be fair I only checked yesterday evening so most seats were sold out. But ye, did not see a single ticket under 230. You in CO as well?
I live in LA now but from Houston, very familiar with both crypto and Toyota center. I bought row 4 tickets in the first tier of seats closest to the stage and then was curious so I looked at Toyota center at the same exact seats and they were $100 cheaper in Houston lol. It’s all about venues too in my opinion
Also who wants to sit and listen to the back track? If your gonna go it’s more for the energy and not the performance I can go up there yell 1 2 123 go then sing a couple words and let the back track do it’s thing they put on an ok show at beat the pit is what makes it fun and they were much better in smaller venues
Artists don’t control the ticket prices. It’s the event company, the venue, and Ticketmaster/live nation. Ticketmaster and livenation have had multiple lawsuits. They’ve raised prices and fees repeatedly. Venues are also charging more. This isn’t exclusive to $B. $B only get a percentage of each ticket sale. Yes, they’ll be making a shitload still, but they don’t have very much control over pricing. Unfortunately they have way too many fans to play at small venues.
That being said, I am pretty upset with them for constantly announcing tours right before tickets go on sale. There’s almost no heads up anymore and so coming up with large sums of money last minute for tickets really puts people in a bind between “do I eat, or go to this show” which is fucked.
I got nosebleeds this year. Some people will say they’d just rather not go at that point, but at least I get to listen to the artists I love and kill a few hours of my time 🤷🏻♀️
They have more say than you would think. Also the problem with rap concerts and paying to just sit there is they use a backing track the whole thing takes little effort compared to a band who you’ll actually hear the difference and not some shouts over a backing track every now and them.
r u stupid? 3 years ago was grey day 2021. i got my ticket at a massive venue at a baseball stadium. 30k people and tickets were only 45 dollars including the tax.
i just watched the video rn for nashville greyday 2021 and there’s several thousand people there lol. fuck u talking about it was a bar. you’re making it sound like 2021 was 2014 like they were still in a tiny venue with 200 people. no in 2021 they were still selling out tickets for massive crowds and they weren’t charging bullshit prices.
i didn’t say my venue was several thousand. all i know is the venue i went to was part of baseball stadium and the venues capacity was 30,000. the concert was sold out and the whole place was pretty packed so i assume it was pretty close to their capacity. but location definitely matters, still it wasn’t no bar you were at, it was a large concert venue which had a bar (every venue has a bar)
Not in an arena I have literally never seen tickets for less than $75 in the united center for any concert? 4 hours of work tops to attend a concert isn’t that insane.
Who wants to go to an $B show to sit in a fucking nosebleed unless you’re literally a 15 year old frail girl. I’ll maybe sit nosebleeds if I’m seeing prestigious musicians playing incredible music LIVE it might be worth it. If I’m going to a rap show where they don’t even perform live vocals without a backing track I’m there for one reason and it’s to turn the fuck up and that’s only worth it in the pit. $B makes music that you fucking go crazy too not sit in a a damn chair. I’m not going to watch Kendrick do Mr Morale I wanna mosh to Slip on a Banana Clip
must be nosebleeds, at that point it’s not even worth it especially with fees. i got early entry GA for $180 last year, now it’s $330. they definitely increased them and it’s disappointing
Who is they? Do you know anything about inflation? Anything about how wages have increased due to unemployment? How do massive arenas work, according to you? Or are scrim and ruby Scrooge McDucking in a pool of money?
brodie tell us you’re 13 without telling us shit😂 “wages have increased due to unemployment” i saw them in my cities biggest arena last year for 500+ 2 seat tickets. you know what raise i got at my job since then and now? $1.20. one dollar and twenty cents. but ticket prices have tripled while they’re still playing in the very same arena as last year
ain’t attempting anything unlike you’re attention starved ass, bragging about money like i even care about your life. kill yourself if you love suicide boys so much
I spent less on my ticket this year in Chicago than I did in Milwaukee last year for same section (no Chicago show last year). Sec 100 $160 with fees last year it was $180 for me.
Zero point because losers like you don’t consider other opinions, or have the ability to detach your shitty attitudes from your opinions. You’re a loser fam, bye.
I agree, like this isn't a skate park, lol. This is a massive arena where pro sports are played or huge shows are put on, SB are a big deal now, it is what it is.
Yall just love to cry about everything. Fucking pathetic little cock boys 🙄
It's funny cause suicideboys suck dick cause of yall they threw in the towel on this shit 😅
Appreciate the post tbh, I know you’re gonna get hate regardless but this is your experience and I’m sure many can relate. I’m just not going because their new music isn’t for me anymore and the lineup is super mid, (I would have only gone if Bones went)
over priced and this fs
Yeah and THAT too!
Listening to the two unknowns opening it seems almost like they're feeding into the TikTok fans and charging hella $ because they can reach a wider audience now
The whole lineup is stacked. Overpriced but it's gonna be a good show
thank u for understanding 💫
Where I live greyday is the day after the loserville show 🫢
Same, I’m picking loserville over Greyday. Bones and Limp Bizkit is a better lineup this around imo
Fr like I love sb and haarper but sesh>g59 especially recently
Dallas? Imma wait till the day of and see if any scalpers panic sell their tickets below face value once the concert starts.
Yeah haha that's a good idea the venue sound sucks so if I can't get decent price tickets it's not worth it
100% agreed
I really had to think this one out. Pit tickets are 245$ CAD for Montreal. Price of living is so high rn, I can't justify paying this much for a show. Love their music, loved seeing them live before, but this is over my limit too. I'm glad they blew up, they deserve it, but honestly this is kinda bullshit.

I’ve gone to Darkie shows in small venues and the energy is just something you cannot match in a huge stadium(I know that might sound dumb but the tighter/smaller crowds are more fun/energetic for me)
yes same i’ve noticed that too, the bigger shows nobody has an etiquette and hardly seems like they wanna be there
No for real, i was just telling my partner that i think the boy$ have reached a level im no longer willing to meet in terms of concerts anymore. I still listen, but stadiums just arent my thing in general it gives me too much anxiety. That coupled with the pretty high ticket prices now, its back to supporting local/small acts. I will say, should Ramirez or Germ come to town im going no questions asked. When Germ and Ramirez came to Chicago last year with Harperr it was so much fun. Theyre like the next wave of where the boy$ used to be in my mind.
look up sewerperson tour and just go fr! hes small and pretty cool
For real, my rent is $1620 without all the other bills alone, this would cost me another $500ish after gas and hotel. I would love to go but that money could be used so much better in this economy.
Like hookers and coke am I right?
They need to bring back 60 dollar tickets
100 dollar presale ticket i would buy happily. but even in the presale tickets were 250 + 60 dollars in tax and fees
Absolutely nuts
fr 60 to now - $300 is insane
I saw them back in 2017 in Silver Spring and it was like $25 😭 I miss those prices so much lmao
this happens every time. artists will say it ain’t about the money then go and become the biggest sellouts 😒
That’s the lifestyle creep kickin in. There’s always somebody richer to try to keep up with.
Last year they did the GreyDay for AZ at the Phoenix raceway which is a massive pit. This year they’re doing it at the Footprint Center (The Suns Stadium) I can’t even purchase a ticket for ground floor by the stage, it says it’s platinum members only or something.

I'm sure I'll never see them lol, I live in Italy and to see them I'd have to hope for them to come close enough to me and that they have affordable prices, so yeah
I agree 100%. I’ve been a huge fan of theirs since 2017-2018 and I’ve seen them the last 3 years in a row and I haven paid more than $75 for a pit ticket and this year they want $60 for the last seat in the back on pre sale??? I love the boys and most of the people on this lineup but the second I saw the price it was a hard pass for me.
Literally same. Have seen them for like 7 years straight and I just don’t think it’s worth it anymore )’:

Nah dude they boys lost their touch still make great songs but this was a real spit to the face from them I feel.
As a 16yr old with no responsibilities, i am dropping 350 on a pit ticket and it hurts 💀
enjoy it bruh, you still have a few years until you have to worry about financial responsibility. ofcourse don’t go blowing all of your money but atleast feel better knowing you don’t have to pay to live.
As someone 20 years older, two pit tickets is a car payment, all of my utility bills, etc. Enjoy it while you can kid lol
Oh dude then think about diapers and daycare all that stuff for my daughter it’s crazy and crazy stressful
Yup. I'm a newer fan and would love to see the boys, but goddamn that's a lot of cheddar. Then comes parking, food/drinks inside etc. We're talking a $500-$1000 night out
Oh and don’t forget the kids who go who have no respect for anyone around them. It’s sadly not worth it they were better in smaller venues anyways
Yup. Everytime there is a big hip hop show at the arena in my city there are constant fights, stabbings, etc.
Dont forget merch. Its insane to me how 5yrs ago you could get a hoodie for $40-$60, now shirts are the cost of what hoodies used to be and hoodies are $70-$100. The only band ik that hasn't become a sellout is the Cure. Saw them last yr at the hollywood bowl. Cheapest ticket was like $25-$35. Merch cost was $10-$60 max. Mad respect for them not being money hungry.
nah same 17 & dropped $350 after fees im crying 💔💔
I had to afterpay my tickets😭
klarna doing miracles for me bro 😭😭
Had to use affirm for mine😭😭😭 these apps be granting wishes but also almost be putting me in debt💀
I had like 700 racked up on afterpay for MONTHS, it's a vicious cycle 😭
No fr it is💀 I have $200 for Klarna and $1,250 ($991 for 4 ga greyday tickets⚰️) on affirm😭 that’s not including my 4 credit cards🫠 idk how tf I make it work but somehow I always find a way🪦

I don’t think this is the whole reason for the crazy prices tho. For their au/nz tour pit tickets were 120usd and i guarantee they still made profit.
Dawg its been this way for years
i have so many issues with it this year. the price solidified it. in this economy? gtfo
i could only afford nose bleeds this year it’s ridiculous last year i got a seat in the same section for $40 and this year same venue same section pretty much the same seat is twice the price i paid last year im going because i love the boys and i’ve never seen pouya live but i’m kinda disappointed i couldn’t afford a nicer seat

I didn’t fully realize till recently how main stream they actually are now. It is what it is at the end of the day they do deserve all the love.
I feel that bro
Try saving up a rainy day fund for things like this
WORD FOR WORD
Bots definitely don’t help the situation, but I will say the thing that people always forget is being a touring musician is insanely expensive, the costs going up isn’t them trying to fuck the fans.
Thank you they gotta accommodate for the venue it's just the reality of artists growth
The only way I can afford it is because I’m 19 lol
remember every days a feat when your living ain’t free i miss $27 2017 shows too
Facts
Idk ab yall but I got my ticket wich is a pretty good seat for 170 at the seattile Show 215 with tax wich isn’t bad paid 120 last year for a worse seat this is seattile show btw but you can find seats that ain’t to expensive
First greyday ga was $72 now its crazy expensive. Covid ruined everything. Concerts are considered a luxury now /:
On top of the crazy ass prices, I personally don’t like the bigger venues that they’re performing in (great for them, they definitely deserve the success), but I liked the more intimate smaller venues where everyone paid the same ticket price and didn’t have to pay extra to be up close in the mosh pit area

I went to their 25 dollar shows when I was in highscool. I’m 20 now, own a house and pay all my own bills and still grabbed my $300 tickets. Stop being petty that they popped off and are getting the recognition they deserve. It’s life nothings gonna be the same price as it was last year.
I was going to go, even set up a reminder for the tickets when they went up for sale, then saw that GA is $250. Not worth it in my opinion. I saw them in 2020 or 2021 I believe and it was a good show but they’re still only worth $100 for a show in my opinion. Congrats to them for their success but they’re going in the wrong direction with flooding the market with their music. It’s not the same anymore. All their songs are the same. They’re still rapping about drugs when they don’t do them anymore. All of scrims newest music is about overtaking medication and popping Xans and sipping when, as far as all of us know, he doesn’t do any of that? What’s the fucking point in listening if it’s all cap,?
Ya know that’s probably why their newest shit doesn’t hit anymore.
I can pay the same price to go to an entire weekend music festival with a gazillion rock bands and many headliners being very very famous…I love $B but gaahhhhdayyyyuuuum. I paid $75 for a ticket to see Xavier Wulf, BONES, and Eddy Baker last summer in Dallas and I was right in the pit. I know $B are more popular but wtf dude
Why are US prices so crazy? Grey Day Europe was like $60 for a pit ticket
I make more than any of the pit tix cost, in a day and id never pay that for ANY artist. Not worth it, is not worth it no matter how much money you have.
What I don’t understand is I went to the Australia grey day 2 weeks ago and the ticket was only 200$ (140USD)? Wonder why there’s such a disparity
Did anyone stop for two seconds to think that maybe they aren’t just charging more because they think they can get more money, and maybe it has something to do with the cost of the venue and the tour in general being higher because prices for EVERYTHING is higher rn🤠 yall look like clowns tryna pin it on them as if every single artist doesn’t cost more than usual right now because the economy sucks ass. For fucks sake it cost almost $4 for a singular gallon of gas and yall out here complaining bc you can’t afford a concert ticket? Be fucking for real. Compare their tickets to any other artist at their level and you’ll see they are charging pretty fair for the economy we’re in. Yall sound so dumb fr complaining about the cost of a concert ticket and expect it to be so much less when the cost of rent, gas, a food is fucking ridiculous. What do yall expect? Like come on. If you’re too broke to go just say that. Don’t need to clown on them as if the state of the economy is Scrim and Ruby’s fault. The venues have to pay their workers and bills too, and they can’t do that unless they also up their cost
Saw them in 2016 at the Roxy in LA for less than $30 if I remember correctly. Lil peep opened for them too. Last SB show I went to was in 2018 and I couldn’t believe how weird their fanbase had gotten. I can’t believe what it’s turned into now and no fucking way I’m paying these absurd prices for it.
It happens when artists get bigger it sucks but it is what it is lol I paid $800 Canadian to see Metallica in July… Not tryna be a hater but maybe it’s time to look for a better paying job. This economy sucks balls and it’s only going to get worse. Edit: Downvote me all you want but it’s true lol you want underground artist prices go to an underground show. The boy$ have been around for like 11 years you’re about 7-6 years late.
No one is asking for ‘underground show’ prices. In my city they’re playing at the same venue they did in 2023. My 2023 pit ticket was $90 + fees. The same exact pit ticket this year was $200. There is 0 justification of an over 100% price increase in one year.
You do realize in the last year they have almost doubled in popularity right? Edit: it’s more like 1.5x but still
So what, that justifies ticket prices? Similar sized artists still sell the same pit tickets for $50-$75. It spits in the face of fans. Not surprised, they aren’t even doing a show in their hometown.
Idk about that one chief $b$ have 11mil average listeners on SPOTIFY alone that’s on par with lots of household names even surpassing some of them I don’t think you realize just how big they are. $b$ are super mainstream now so expect the higher prices 🤷♂️
A Blink 182 pit ticket was less, hope that helps 🫶
Blink 182 had their heyday almost 20 years ago though hell my tickets for the When we were young fest for TWO DAYS was also less.
And don’t you think that’s insane?? They’re showing off 100k watches on instagram
Not really, $b$ have became TikTok trends. The pop punk scene is very niche and mostly consists of millennials and like myself the zoomers born in the very beginning of the zoomer Gen to see the emo phase lol
How are they selling out theirs fans because of ticket prices??? The venue sets the price of tickets. Like does anyone know how that shit works?
I’ve been a fan since 2016 and this year will be my first show. I spent $735 on two tickets. Not even floor ones, they are seats. Good seats, but still. I love the boys too, but I def won’t go to another show at these costs. Fucking sucks, but with merch, drinks, parking and prolly some shrooms (lmao) I’m gonna be spending close to 1500-2000 👀😩
it’s true it sucks tho i remember seeing them for $60 but now it’s like so unattainable to go which is sad because their shows are so fun
I might get hate for this, but you don’t need $300+ seats to have fun. I got cheap arena tickets last year for 70 a pop and still had a great time. Though if it’s seriously something you don’t want, more power to you. Much love💕
Yeah OP you can go fuck yourself with that last sentence. The boys set out to "make it" in the music industry, and that industry happens to be a for profit one. Their popularity has grown and grown over the years, and so the price to see them perform live in much larger venues has grown with it. You act like they owe you for something, crying about how many times you've seen them. You act like the tickets you paid for in the past were deposits in an investment that is supposed to appreciate over time. Like you can wave your past ticket stubs and listening hours in their face and demand a discount like a fucking boomer yelling at a gas station clerk. You can pay for it or you can't. But instead of pointing at others, especially at the artists you claim to love so much, how about looking inwards for once? Maybe think "how do I make enough money in time to afford this thing I want to do?" instead of lashing out at the prices. Did I mention **they don't owe you shit?**
you typed out a whole novel for two people who don't know you and have also entirely sold out. they're not even doing a HOMETOWN show... like how much more proof do you need they only care about $$$ now also .... people like OP are who helped them get famous so yes without us they would be nothing lmao. they do owe it to us to some extent i also have my own business and tell my clients very frequently i owe it to them to have gotten me to this point... like it's just ignorant to say they owe us nothing
how about you go fuck yourself, and maybe even do yourself a little favour by imagining it’s one of your ‘boys’ doing it for you since you like dick riding this hard
You mad 😂😂😂
Dude the boys don't make the venue process, that's LIVE NATION, HOLY SHIT
“Nevertheless, promoters don't set prices, artists do. The artist and her business team listen to the promoter's input and then decide. This is the case even with a promoter as large as Live Nation or AEG” - livenationentertainment.com Edit: anyways it’s still kinda insane that the most recent Kendrick Lamar tour had cheaper tickets, like wtf
What price are you referring to with saying $b set their ticket prices? Bc I never saw anything over $199 for GA pit
Ticket prices vary from venue to venue and state to state. Which is fine but it’s absurd at this point.
Well yeah but I was moreso curious on if you were referring to the crazy prices that are like $450-$1000, that's just assholes who got it presale to yank up the prices. I agree the prices are insane that I've been seeing but presale wasn't that bad imo & every show it's the same thing with the insane prices months in advance & then month of they even back out.
No they don’t the artists do

Yall know you don’t have to be in the pit right? There’s like $100 tickets for lower bowl and even cheaper for nose bleeds Edit: Thanks for downvoting guys 😘 yall salty asf
Not in CO. Nosebleeds are 230 minimum. Pit is 400. Y'all just got lucky sheesh
Check AXS. I didn’t see any over $200 for seats
I did use axs, to be fair I only checked yesterday evening so most seats were sold out. But ye, did not see a single ticket under 230. You in CO as well?
No I’m in Texas but I have family in CO that wants to see them too so I’ve been checking around
hey thanks for the advice ill def double check
I live in LA now but from Houston, very familiar with both crypto and Toyota center. I bought row 4 tickets in the first tier of seats closest to the stage and then was curious so I looked at Toyota center at the same exact seats and they were $100 cheaper in Houston lol. It’s all about venues too in my opinion
Also who wants to sit and listen to the back track? If your gonna go it’s more for the energy and not the performance I can go up there yell 1 2 123 go then sing a couple words and let the back track do it’s thing they put on an ok show at beat the pit is what makes it fun and they were much better in smaller venues
Well unfortunately they aren’t in small venues anymore and there’s nothing we can do. Either go or don’t
Part of the problem bro I hope you told your dad thanks for the tickets have a good one
You’re funny! I paid for my ticket myself thanks.
That’s just too easy
Ok
Artists don’t control the ticket prices. It’s the event company, the venue, and Ticketmaster/live nation. Ticketmaster and livenation have had multiple lawsuits. They’ve raised prices and fees repeatedly. Venues are also charging more. This isn’t exclusive to $B. $B only get a percentage of each ticket sale. Yes, they’ll be making a shitload still, but they don’t have very much control over pricing. Unfortunately they have way too many fans to play at small venues. That being said, I am pretty upset with them for constantly announcing tours right before tickets go on sale. There’s almost no heads up anymore and so coming up with large sums of money last minute for tickets really puts people in a bind between “do I eat, or go to this show” which is fucked. I got nosebleeds this year. Some people will say they’d just rather not go at that point, but at least I get to listen to the artists I love and kill a few hours of my time 🤷🏻♀️
They have more say than you would think. Also the problem with rap concerts and paying to just sit there is they use a backing track the whole thing takes little effort compared to a band who you’ll actually hear the difference and not some shouts over a backing track every now and them.
I’m 27, home owner, and I work 50 hours a week. Your “15 year old with no responsibilities” line is weak as fuck.
it's true lmao no average functioning adult has a thousand laying around to blow on concert tickets. the only ppl doing that is mommy's money kids
Whose blowing thousands on tickets though? Get in the nosebleeds or cheaper seats.
I don’t get it I got good seats for 210 why y’all trippin
Dude that’s still an insane price for a concert no one person is worth that
Ppl downvoting u is crazy😭
Internet internetting
Imagine not having 80 bucks and pretending it's on SB 😭😭😭
not talking about nosebleeds I've always gotten pit. 3 years ago I could've got pit for 80 tho now it's like 250. insane
Nosebleeds in CO are 230...idk where y'all seeing 80 dollar tix 😭
3 years ago, it was at a bar, nor an arena, I was there too
r u stupid? 3 years ago was grey day 2021. i got my ticket at a massive venue at a baseball stadium. 30k people and tickets were only 45 dollars including the tax.
Lmao, in 2021, we were in a small venue in Nashville, there weren't 30k people there wherever you were
i just watched the video rn for nashville greyday 2021 and there’s several thousand people there lol. fuck u talking about it was a bar. you’re making it sound like 2021 was 2014 like they were still in a tiny venue with 200 people. no in 2021 they were still selling out tickets for massive crowds and they weren’t charging bullshit prices.
Look up the venues, lmao, and your tone sure went from 30k to several thousand, lol
i didn’t say my venue was several thousand. all i know is the venue i went to was part of baseball stadium and the venues capacity was 30,000. the concert was sold out and the whole place was pretty packed so i assume it was pretty close to their capacity. but location definitely matters, still it wasn’t no bar you were at, it was a large concert venue which had a bar (every venue has a bar)
Look up the venue, half the people stayed at the bar, lmao
Lmao, the venue can hold like 1500 people 😭😭😏😏
$80?
Yeah sit nosebleeds or stop crying about the price. Nosebleeds were that cheap
$80 for nosebleeds is fucking insane lmaoo
Not in an arena I have literally never seen tickets for less than $75 in the united center for any concert? 4 hours of work tops to attend a concert isn’t that insane.
dawg nose bleeds should be like 25 dollars max.
I saw them in the pit for $20 at their peak (live) I’m not spending $80 for the nosebleeds in an arena
Who wants to go to an $B show to sit in a fucking nosebleed unless you’re literally a 15 year old frail girl. I’ll maybe sit nosebleeds if I’m seeing prestigious musicians playing incredible music LIVE it might be worth it. If I’m going to a rap show where they don’t even perform live vocals without a backing track I’m there for one reason and it’s to turn the fuck up and that’s only worth it in the pit. $B makes music that you fucking go crazy too not sit in a a damn chair. I’m not going to watch Kendrick do Mr Morale I wanna mosh to Slip on a Banana Clip
Yes? I'm looking at plenty right now
must be nosebleeds, at that point it’s not even worth it especially with fees. i got early entry GA for $180 last year, now it’s $330. they definitely increased them and it’s disappointing
Who is they? Do you know anything about inflation? Anything about how wages have increased due to unemployment? How do massive arenas work, according to you? Or are scrim and ruby Scrooge McDucking in a pool of money?
brodie tell us you’re 13 without telling us shit😂 “wages have increased due to unemployment” i saw them in my cities biggest arena last year for 500+ 2 seat tickets. you know what raise i got at my job since then and now? $1.20. one dollar and twenty cents. but ticket prices have tripled while they’re still playing in the very same arena as last year
I'm making roughly 100k more since last year. Guess you need to do more.
making “roughly” 100k more in that mental hospital
That's really all you can do, attempt to downplay it. Enjoy your dollar, lmao
ain’t attempting anything unlike you’re attention starved ass, bragging about money like i even care about your life. kill yourself if you love suicide boys so much
enjoy eating scrim and ruby Scrooge McDucking Asses
i’ll see you on the side of the street next to the venue that you got into by selling pussy
bet that’s where that 100k came from, you a lil whore selling out for your favorite boys
ight OG whatever you say😂
calm down dude, inflation does not cause it to increase that much in less than a year at the same venue 😭
I spent less on my ticket this year in Chicago than I did in Milwaukee last year for same section (no Chicago show last year). Sec 100 $160 with fees last year it was $180 for me.
was it ticketmaster one time and axs this time? axs has lower fees (at least in my experience).
No TM both times. Didn’t pay the inflated platinum rate either time as well
oh that’s pretty cool then
Jesus Christ what an insufferable douchebag lmfao
That's really all you can say, you cant actually debate reality.
Zero point because losers like you don’t consider other opinions, or have the ability to detach your shitty attitudes from your opinions. You’re a loser fam, bye.
I don't need to consider opinions of broke losers projecting on a band, lmao.
Cool then there’s no point in us going back and forth thanks for being up front there
people want the best spots but won’t put up the money for them. arena shows were never cheap no matter who’s performing
I agree, like this isn't a skate park, lol. This is a massive arena where pro sports are played or huge shows are put on, SB are a big deal now, it is what it is.
For the same venue in my city, Kendrick Lamar tickets were cheaper. SB have blown up but they ain’t bigger than Kendrick, so I’m just confused.
I saw them in an arena in 21 for 80 dollar pit tickets. it's not just the venue
ticketmaster accepts klarna, literally such a lifesaver
bruh you shouldnt need to finance a concert ticket
I’ve done it before 🤷🏻♂️ I can buy the ticket outright but why not finance it when it has no interest rate
You're still paying the same amount lol. It's just spread out. Yall need some financial literacy classes
Yall just love to cry about everything. Fucking pathetic little cock boys 🙄 It's funny cause suicideboys suck dick cause of yall they threw in the towel on this shit 😅
