BullwinkleCheech Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Didn't know that awesomeness costs 1 million. QOTSA are awesome and they cost 75k. I'd like JT to play my party sometime. The hype is what drives up the costs though. QOTSA should be worth more than that
DookieLukie Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 He'll be heartbroken, I'm sure Hmm...I think I'll manage.
moonflower93 Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Green Day I can understand being 500k +, but the Offspring being 500K+? It's actually really surprising.. Guys maybe we start a donation fund. I mean if all 50,000 members on gdc, (stupid ghost accounts ruining it) donated 10 dollars we'd be set. Maybe out of the 500 active members we can all donate 1000 dollars maybe once i start working. which probably won't be until i get my bachelors in like another 2-3 years.
The Platypus! Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 I think we should get everyone on GDC to chip in money and book them, would be rad

Spike Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 I'd like JT to play my party sometime. The hype is what drives up the costs though. QOTSA should be worth more than that I'm not sure about that. I mean, sure, if a band is in demand tickets are usually priced higher, but in terms of actual production costs bigger bands usually spend more because they tend to have huge stage shows. That'll be why QOTSA are so relatively cheap, they have a very simple, no-nonsense stage setup.
sara_gd Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 This is interesting... I'm surprised that Muse is only 150k, and QOTSA and 30STM are really cheap! (40-50k the latest, I heard their tickets are cheap) and also One Direction is only 150-200k while Justin Bieber is 1 million, I thought they had more or less the same fame? I wonder how reliable is this, and I'm sure it also changes in different countries. When I first saw Green Day, in Spain, a ticket was 42€, 50€ in Italy, then in Ireland it was 63€ and in Oslo I think mine was 80, but my mum got seat and it was almost 100€. So it must change what it costs to book them too. But seriously, I'm shocked with Muse being just 150k with the mega expensive stages they make.

Geez my ticket was $70 USD for pit in Chicago last year
BullwinkleCheech Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Sure, but shows are longer than JT's and... JT played for over 2 and a half hours last time I saw him (guilty pleasures) I'm not sure about that. I mean, sure, if a band is in demand tickets are usually priced higher, but in terms of actual production costs bigger bands usually spend more because they tend to have huge stage shows. That'll be why QOTSA are so relatively cheap, they have a very simple, no-nonsense stage setup. Yeah, you're probably right about that but people are willing to pay far more to have JT play at a private party. It's just the kind of fame he has. People pay big bucks for One Direction too, even if they would play in an acoustic setting, the total hype around it drives up the price. When a lot of people want something, the price rises.
Invention Convention Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 A lot. But I guess if they're on tour or not...they'll play pubs for free on occasion- ie when they were recording the trilogy, or in Australia this year. I'd say for something like Reading or Rock AM Ring, it's even tough considering Justin Bieber is 1 Million and hasn't done half of what Green Day has But I'd say any where from 500k to a million can't see it being more. Although, it should be priceless
Spike Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 NME have given us a definitive answer. £440,000. So that's more like $750,000.
