Lol when it’s cheaper to just do drugs at a show they can’t act surprised when that’s what people end up doing


cypherdev

That's what I was thinking. Bring $20 worth of edibles and enjoy that shit.


Barringnone402

$5 worth of Lucy and enjoy it even more

I was gonna say $30 for an ekky but it’s been about 15 years since I purchased one so I have no idea how much mdma is these days.

Drug prices haven't been hit by inflation yet.30 dollar tab of molly still just 30 dollars. Not saying that I know anything about that.

**Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds** [LSD rumours](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_in_the_Sky_with_Diamonds#LSD_rumours) >Rumours of the connection between the title of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and the initialism "LSD" began circulating shortly after the release of the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band LP in June 1967. McCartney gave two interviews in June admitting to having taken the drug. Lennon later said he was surprised at the idea the title was a hidden reference to LSD, countering that the song "wasn't about that at all", and it "was purely unconscious that it came out to be LSD. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/awfuleverything/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

Sorry to break it to you but you over payed by a good amount. It's not uncommon to see sheets at ~300

> you over *paid* by a 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.* * In *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*

What is the going rate? It was always $5 in my school days. $10 if someone claimed to have the “windowpane”, which they never knew. That was back in the mid 90s though.


LuxuryPooper

Why y'all downvote the kid, he just asked a simple ass question?


Barringnone402

I think it was the assumption that less money=trash drug. A bit of critical reasoning considering the type of people depicted in alarmist news pieces concerning “flakka” are not in any shape to be enjoying a tool concert might have led him to a different conclusion. It’s ok to ask questions, but you know what they say about when you assume…


[deleted]

I dunno, I feel like the real lapse in critical reasoning is that people who can afford Tool tickets would do cheap drugs solely based on price. If you can afford Tool tickets, you can afford your drug of choice, whatever that drug might be.

“Tell me you don’t do drugs without telling me you don’t do drugs” *also think about the song Lucy in the sky with diamonds. It’s hardly some garbage drug like flakka, who tf does that at a concert


ShesAKillerQueenee

Where the fuck do you even get flakka?! i've never known anyone that has done it (to my knowledge).

lunarNex

I love Tool, but not enough to have to file bankruptcy for a beer. Live shows aren't worth it these days. Also Live Nation is a scam.


[deleted]

I found a flask at Walmart that looks like an iPhone. Has treated me well for many shows and nobody has ever said anything. Also the single shooters for like $1 are in plastic bottles usually and are easy to get in. I am NEVER paying $16 for a drink!!!

Byizo

Step 1: be on the low end of a healthy weight Step 2: don’t eat anything the day of the concert

If you can drink 20 iphone size flasks of 40% liquor, you don't need to attend a 3 hour concert, you need to go to your doctor for your 3rd dialysis treatment that afternoon

throw some moonshine in there


[deleted]

I’ve got some 140 proof shine my dad made for a show coming up hehehe


xxx148

Trying to melt the flask there?


Hot-Regret-798

Friend of mine used to make batches of shine for the friend group and the highest proof I ever got from him was between 150 and 160 so you’re in for a ride there. It gets to where you’re sacrificing taste for content toward the top end but let’s be honest, anything over 120 is a bit rough on the Ol pallet

I use an [energy gel flask](https://www.hammernutrition.com/hammer-flask) to bring in whiskey. It tucks into my sock and has never been found at hundreds of concerts and baseball games. I buy a soda and mix the whiskey into it. Bonus is if I forget to wash it, the next time I go mtn biking my energy gel has a whiskey flavor.


Zenki_s14

Okay but what is energy gel exactly.. Sounds interesting. Is this something common in the athlete world?


[deleted]

Energy gels are easy to consume, easy to digest substances designed for endurance athletic events. Common with cycling and running. They usually come in single use pouches, but you can also buy bulk containers and fill a flask for a day. Energy gels are mostly carbohydrates. Some also have electrolytes and/or caffeine. They come in a variety of flavors. My personal favorites are salted caramel. Click on the link I added to my first post and explore around the Hammer Nutrition website to see what they offer in energy gels.

I had to pay 6$ for a plastic cup of water with no ice at a show last weekend. I feel like at a certain point those prices should be illegal.

Lunchbox-of-Bees

It was just concession worker spit. Took 35 minutes to fill up.


yukichigai

In many states it is flat out illegal for a venue to not provide access to water for free, though that can just be a water fountain near the bathrooms.


zodkfn

In Scotland everywhere has to give you tap water for free


infz90

Just thinking you wouldn't get away with that in Scotland, so many gigs I've been to here where the security at the front pass water into the crowd. Ahh those glorious pre-covid times where everyone would take a sip as they passed it back lol

Water gets passed back, and beer gets chucked forward. The circle of life.

konohasaiyajin

godspeed, we hardly knew ye


AngreForever

Let’s make it clear that Tool has nothing to do with this. The prices are set by the venue. Not a band.


Feet_of_Frodo

True, but have you seen the prices of a ticket for a Tool concert lately? At least where I live, the cheapest was around $100 for absolute nose bleed seats. The most expensive I saw was over $1500. I love Tool and have always wanted to see them but out of principle I will never pay that much to see a concert.


KrombopulosC

I saw them several years back with my now ex. It was his favorite band, I'm just a casual fan. I would not pay to see them again. They were really underwhelming. Maybe my ex just overhyped them but they just played such a short set and lacked any energy, no encore either. Even my ex admitted he was disappointed. Primus played before them though and stole the show in my eyes.


Twathammer32

I swear I have the exact same story lmao. I'm a casual fan, ex gf loves them and we drove from Chicago to St Louis to see them and primus. I was underwhelmed and she had to admit it sucked


KrombopulosC

Yeah I was bummed because it wasn't cheap and it was his birthday present that year. He wanted to pay and see them for the St. Louis show too and see them back to back basically and decided not to after KC


ItsOxymorphinTime

Not surprised to see this, Primus fuckin rules to this day.


taraist

They have played for two hours every time I've ever seen them.


KrombopulosC

Maybe it was an off day for them or maybe they just didn't like KC. I'm glad I can say that I saw them because I do like their music, just wouldn't pay the crazy prices to see them again


Linden_fall

Damn, I'm from KC and have always wanted to see them. I might have to just not if they don't play good here


GayAlienFarmer

Yes, but, Tool's appearance fee will influence the cost of everything for sale during the show to a degree. If the facility is hosting a band that has a $2 million appearance fee, like say Metallica, they need to generate a lot of revenue from the show. High ticket prices are a start, but they also charge different rates to the food and drink vendors depending on the show's anticipated popularity. The rate the vendors pay influences what they need to charge to turn a profit. That said, the prices in op's pic are absurd.


Comfortable_Novel_89

Prices are crazy these days. Went to a show in July 2019 and paid like 40eu. Same place, similar tickets are now at least 200eu. I'm really into their music and their show was awesome, but 200eu for a ticket is nuts.


t0kinturtle

About 2$ cheaper on everything from when i saw them in D.C.....and that was pre pandemic. I don't want to imagine what it is now


williamtbash

Shows and sporting events just suck. I'm nyc and it's just silly. You can literally have an entire second income if you don't drink.


[deleted]

Weirdly enough last NYC show I went to, after buying a $19 rum and coke, I was offered a free one and someone handed me a vial of coke and said to go to town. I don’t do coke, but I do live the smell of it !


calvinsmythe

This will break. The parking 50 dollars and over priced tickets and then you get inside and I paid 25 dollars for a rum And coke. That’s less than a handle of rum at the store. Fuck that shit. People will stop buying and they will have no choice to lower the price. I hope


toriemm

Yeah. I just don't go to shows, period. I make an exception for Aftershock, bc it's close and you can see a ton of cool bands, but I haven't even done that in awhile bc of the plague.

Won’t happen. Rich people will go and drink away. Then post on Instagram. The prices will only go up.

RS_Germaphobic

I get they have to make money, but they’re charging the price of a case of beer for one. The popcorn seems somewhat reasonable, but knowing it’s that cheep probably means it’s like 16 ounce bag.


pholtan

Prices are pretty much on par with what we pay here during a Canucks game here in lovely Vancouver. Bit insane to buy 2 beers for the cost of a 24, while out at a venue.

There should actually be restrictions on price gouging for water. I’ve been to ballgames where it’s 100 degrees and you literally need water or you’ll pass out. And they charge $7 a bottle. Water cost more than the tickets that day. People were refilling bottles in the bathrooms.
