  - Wow. Good on Lana. Ummm...what the heck is a Feid? -- nm - JD Nov 30, 09:11
- Probably not. (Drake? Morgan Wallen?) -- nm - JaxSean Nov 30, 09:06 2

    - Until Saturday, Bad Bunny got the biggest pop (cheers) this year in WWE. -- nm - Tim Nov 30, 09:20

  - Yeah, ST would have never. -- nm - Spawn Nov 30, 08:54
  - never heard of her. part of a former group? -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Nov 30, 08:53 1
    - Nope, solo singer from Colombia. Sings almost exclusively in spanish, so it's breaking a lot of genre records. -- nm - MDH Nov 30, 08:54
- To put revenue in perspective, the remaining artist just wrapped a 15 date (758k tickets) US Tour which made $138.4M, and was 100% sold out. -- nm* - MDH Nov 30, 08:50 2

These Rolling Stones tix are ridiculously expensive. I don't think I can justify seeing them again at this price. - pmb Nov 30, 08:15 12
- I just bought a nosebleed in Atlanta for $150. Crazy. They’re a bucket list band for me so I definitely want to see them once, but I - kelly Nov 30, 09:00 1
  - If I had never seen them before, I would probably splurge, but I've seen them 7 or 8 times. I don't need to pay that amount to see them one more time - pmb Nov 30, 09:07
- Your IM is why I was glad they are not coming near here as it is the way I would have to lean, as well. -- nm - Spawn Nov 30, 08:36
- what's the range? -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Nov 30, 08:18 8
  - I paid $65 for nosebleeds in Philly. $95/$125/$145 for lower down in the upper tier. I didn’t look at anything closer. -- nm - znufrii Nov 30, 08:23 1
    - That's severely undermarket prices. Good for them. -- nm - MDH Nov 30, 08:25
  - Well, I only looked at decent seats (I don't really love big stadiums and if you're way in the back it doesn't do much for me), but on the field in - pmb Nov 30, 08:21 5
    - Yeah, I haven't done a Stadium show in *years*. I guess for a bucket list band, but for $500, I could see 20 other bands in smaller clubs. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 30, 09:10
    - With how well the industry is, that's below market. I'd have expected the front sections in a stadium to be north of $3k/ticket. -- nm - MDH Nov 30, 08:26 3
      - There were some tickets in that range that were part of a package. I know Taylor Swift changed everyone's mind about what prices are, but I think - pmb Nov 30, 08:35 2
        
        Taylor's tickets didn't change the game. Hers were massively underpriced, and she knew it. -- nm - MDH Nov 30, 08:42
        
        Also, I'd note that of the range I gave, the $650 seats were the worst of those seats and almost always single seats. - pmb Nov 30, 08:37

- LOFL. Had a conversation over the weekend with someone, brainstorming who we would like to see play there. NIN or Tool were our top picks. I said, - Spawn Nov 30, 07:44
- *books his flight* -- nm - znufrii Nov 30, 06:59 6
  - Also, this sounds like a potentially horrible idea, considering the amount and type of preshow enhancements the average Phish fan partakes of. -- nm* - znufrii Nov 30, 07:18 5
    - Could be just me stereotyping but this seems like a bad match of band style and the technology of the Sphere - JD Nov 30, 08:23 2
      - If anyone could figure out how to use the Sphere to its best effect on the fly, though, it’s probably Chris Kuroda (Phish’s lighting guy) -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 30, 08:32 1
