I saw this post about a Dave Matthews Band fan having a moment of clarity about himself while he was realizing that everyone at the show was "old". It was pretty funny.

Ticket prices are ridiculous. Especially through livenation.

I'm getting up there in age, but I dont mind going out.

I few shows I went to this year, the audience was more of the older crowd. I'm 50 and I was like every one looks older than me

My son has just recently gotten into the wrestling. He's been a passive viewer for the last couple of years but now, thanks to his uncle, he's really gotten into it. And he's been hounding me to take him to a wrestling show next time they come to Ireland. So whenever they come here again, I'll be in for a night of muscular men in tight shorts and rolling around...and you know what? That actually sounds pretty good

I stopped watching for many years. Now they stream live events, and tv shows the next day. (On various apps we have) so I've been watching about a year now.

When I started watching my girlfriend was like "why is the crowd cheering, don't they know it's all fake" 🙄 I say "Its entertainment, story lines"
Fast forward to now, She is hooked and a lil more excited to go than me
I wish it was a Monday night raw event. But I'm sure it will be cool

Hopefully there are no more concerts or events this year because it adds up 💲💰💲

I had checked the prices for a few events happening in Scotland and I almost had a heart attack. There's me thinking that I could take him for a short holiday to Scotland and maybe attend one of the live events they have coming up but the prices are insane. The whole thing would cost me nearly 3 grand. I couldn't justify that kind of expense.

So I'll stick with Taylor Swift. At least I'm getting in there for free

@ Shelly
They were in Glassgow yesterday and today (for tv events)
The crowd was High energy 😶

I paid around $100 each for our seats. We are front row in the upper level
The upper level seats are a bit scary, My girlfriend started to have a panic attack at a show because it narrow and feels like you could fall off. But there is no need to stand as there is now one in front of you obscuring the view. Once the show started she forgot about it and was fine.

Maybe one day can get better seats

Do it! They still put on a great show!

FragileUndertow said:

Only $100. The tickets I was looking at were ten times that . Goddamn it. That's what I get for leaving it til the last minute. I'll have to get in earlier next time. It sounds like you guys had a good time though, even if the seats weren't ideal.

ShellyMcG said:

The cheapest seat here were/are $25. Personally I wouldn't want sit there. There was some decent seats for $150 each *plus fees and tax almost $200 each. And I wasnt about to spend $400 for 2 seats

Livenation let's you resell your tickets through their site. There are huge sections/areas of resell tickets with jacked up, outrageous prices 🙄 days after tickets went on sale, I went to see what was available. I was like f**k this, nope. Then my GF found a few cheap resell tickets.

The wwe event is this coming September. We had nearly identical seats just 1 section over a week ago at the Janet Jackson show. So we know what were getting

Btw the Janet Jackson tickets were $25 each, no service fee, no tax. The summer ticket sale event. The only reason we went.

Hope you and your son get to go one day as well
