This might be the first I miss.

The larger venues, larger price, and the mellower music has made me less excited about seeing them live.

I am going to wait until the day of the show and hit tickpick and see if I can get a good seat at a good price.

I have no interest in dropping $200 to sit in the back of an enormodome.

Also, the diehard fangirls that Ghost post on their social media are getting cringier and cringier.

I will not be going as it's on a Monday night at a place an hour away. I would for sure go if it was more convenient.

I'm going to the Raleigh show with my daughter, and I'm excited, but IMO, I paid way too much for shitty "nosebleed" seats........

Not like "back in the day" (late 80's early 90's) where every show (KISS, Motley, GN'R, AC/DC, Aerosmith, etc.) was $20........

Pittsburgh show here.

Paid almost $400 for a pair to tickets. It's too much money, but I skipped some other shows for this splurge.

I paid $70 for general admission floor and was about 25 feet back from the stage to see Ghost back in 2022 in a small arena. Seen them a couple time since for similar pricing.
This latest tour the prices are crazy and they are playing the giant arenas (atleast in my area)

If that was the case they would still be playing in small theatres. I’ve been seeing them live since the Popestar tour in 2016, and have watched them get bigger and bigger organically by word of mouth and great songs and videos. You’re really missing out, they’re the most 80’s/90’s band in decades. You should go to this tour and it will change ur mind. They put on a fantastic show both musically and visually.

Yeah I paid around $300 for vip pit in raleigh and close to that for standard Baltimore pit as well. It’s definitely too expensive but part of it is ticketmaster/livenation plus they have a huge production and lots of crew to pay. It’s well worth it though. They put on a fantastic show

PS- thanks for making a polite comment on one of my posts for once

Nice! I’m doing Raleigh and Baltimore, both pit. First time I saw them was 2016 on popestar tour at a small theatre for $27.50. This time my tickets were around $300 each lol

The new album has some rocking tunes, sure some r mellow but they’re great songs too. The European tour had a great setlist, I’m sure the NA tour will be no exception. You should have jumped on tickets right when they went on sale, nosebleeds were $60

Agree bout some of the fangirls and they/them fans lol

It was like $250 total for 2 tickets, section 223 (1st upper ring section, not quite "nosebleed"). I have only been to PNC for Hockey, Disney on Ice (and Monster Jam :oops:), IMO, seems like a pretty good view from any section. I still need a buy a parking pass, or coordinate a carpool with you. :D

In all seriousness, cool. I've seen them twice &, barring anything catastrophic, they will be around for a long time. It isn't that big of a deal to me, but love that you're into them. Also, I'm very much into live concerts, I've seen a ton.

Says the guy who wrote a song called "Ruck A Pit Bridge". Come on man, these guys are keeping the spirit of arena rock alive. The songs have huge hooks, big sing along choruses and killer guitar solos. Show some respect to their success.
