Am I way off base or is the average face price around $200/seat? (Talk about your deadhead sticker on a Porsche!) I mean how much fucking money are they making from ONE show? (The math: 9,500 seats at $200.00 each = $1,900,000)
That and these shows have become an investment opportunity for some. I hope those who bought tix in order to profit get stuck with them like the Dead50 shows. In Santa Clara you could find tix in the parking lot for a song, after they were listed online for $1000 - $10,000.
I miss the days of GDTS and decorating my envelope.
I don't see our friend Scrappy (20 y/o) forking over that kind of cash for a show. (Not picking on you, Scrappy!!!)

But it's not just Ticketmaster - I have to toss some shade in the band's direction on this...

Are we being duped by Dead & Company, their management team, which includes henchman Irving Azoff, and the always despicable Ticketmaster ? Is this a case of the band sleeping with dogs and waking up with fleas ?
Let's hope not.
Dead & Co. announced a four-date mini-tour last week that, to this point, only includes a series of weekend dates in New York City and Hampton, VA, two uber hotbeds of Deadheadom. If these are the only shows this fall, the mania and ticket-buying frenzy the process has generated is understandable.
If the band were to add more dates, which has been the long-standing rumor and would also seem logical, then the chaos and madness is an affront to the ticket-buying public. It's unlikely Dead & Co. would hit the road for a just handful of dates; no different than the Grateful Dead, there's an organization and machinery that needs to get paid to keep rolling.
It starts with Irving Azoff, who co-manages Dead & Co. and is also the Eagles manager. Azoff is best known for commanding the highest ticket prices in rock history during the Glen Frey-era of the Eagles. Since Frey's untimely death in 2016, Azoff has shamelessly passed off an incarnate of the band that includes one original member, Frey's son, and country star Vince Gill.
It should be noted Variety wrote in 2018 that Azoff was once "head of the world's largest live-entertainment company: Live Nation, whose merger with Ticketmaster he oversaw."
Prior to this past Tuesday's ticket pre-sale for the Dead & Co. gigs at Madison Square Garden on October 31 and November 1, fans were forced to go through a pre-sale registration process that also included a "fan verification" process. By the time 'Heads got around to buying tickets, most were drained from waiting to learn if we would be: a) selected to have the opportunity to purchase tickets, or; b) "wait listed" for the chance to buy ducats.
It was easier to get tickets for the Led Zeppelin one-off reunion at the O2 in London in 2007.
The ticket-buying process marries us to our Garden and Hampton tickets should Dead & Co. add more dates. At the prices commanded for the two Garden shows, most fans won't have the dough to lay out a few more hundred in hard-earned bucks to buy tickets to shows in, let's say, Las Vegas or Chicago.
As for Ticketmaster, they'd allow 12-year-olds in Beijing to hand print tickets if it meant increased profits. One fan has had enough. "I'd love to see legislation requiring Ticketmaster to disclose what percentage of tickets are being sold at presale and through premium outlets like Platinum and CID," states long-time 'Head Diane Andrea, an administrator of the Weir Here Listening Party page. "We deserve this transparency at presale before deciding whether to buy tickets."
Azoff and Ticxketmaster are odd, and terrible, bedfellows for Dead & Co to lie down with,
This is also the cost of doing business with John Mayer, who is managed by — you guessed it — Irving Azoff. If you're going to partner with a star of John's caliber, you're going to sign the deal at the Crossroads and operate in a financial stratosphere so high that Bill the Drummer, with almost zero song-writing royalties to his credit, can buy a $10 million water-front mansion in Malibu.
That's not a knock on Bill. Good for him and his family, he certainly earned it. But it does demonstrate the type of money being made by the machine that seemingly has morphed into Dead & Co.
I hope they add more dates for this fall, as music fans and Deadheads from all over deserve to see the band live and, confidentially, I like to couch tour. On the other hand, more shows equate to having duped us into participating in a ticket-buying frenzy akin to a scene straight out of a Black Friday holiday sale in a Jersey mall.

I hated getting gouged or feeling like I'm being played, but find it interesting that in commentary like this, what quickly follows the griping (with which I agree) are the "solutions" that the companies should be required by law to disclose their financial information, limit their sales prices, knock off the fees, change their sales practices, announce all shows, and make it "more fair" in general.
What is this, Russia? It's not like disclosing contents of medicine or rationing plywood in a hurricane. In fact, they could easily start their prices at the secondary market so (theoretically) at least the artists get some of the up-charge. It's simply capitalism, and selling entertainment, hardly a consumer necessity. And we certainly don't need more laws and regulations.

Not buying tickets is the most effective way to initiate change, but only if enough people stop buying. Sometimes raising a hue and cry is enough, but not often.
Mayer is probably a lost cause, but Bobby, Billy and Mickey need to be reminded of exactly who put them where they are today.
The ride on the bus for young people will be short if they continue this.
But then, hey, I bought the overpriced tickets as well.
