Tyler The Creator at Trees in Dallas tonight. Looks to be the same deal as yesterday in LA where if you received a text message you can go get a free ticket. But at a certain point they stopped checking near the end of the pick up time so if youre willing to go and roll the dice, be my guest.

Woof. Not gonna do $78 for 2 tickets to Parquet Courts. Love you guys but fuck AXS venues.
I’ve noticed that small venue shows are a lot more expensive now. Paid way too much for Toadies and Glassjaw. Also there’s a local venue that’s doing outdoor shows that we’ve passed on because of the price. $35+ for Shovels And Rope, Aoife O’Donovan and Sarah Jarosz.

indie artists are getting jack shit from streaming, their main income is touring, which they haven’t been able to do for a year and a half. I’m personally willing to pay a bit for shows if I know it’s going straight to the artists. Having a lot in fees is a bit of a different story, especially depending on the venue

Did you get glassjaw tickets through the band or regular onsale? Cause if it was via their own presale you got a t shirt included with your ticket so thats at least a way to look at your ticket cost and feel that its not that big of a deal. Also, if its a single night at your venue youre getting 2 shows in 1 night.
I think right now its just tough to be able to save some money on some shows because you cant go to the venue or a local retailer and get em without fees. In LA Amoeba was selling all GV shows with no fees and it was just a matter of going over there to get a ticket for something if it wasnt sold out.
If more bands partnered with the ticketing logistics companies that would have reduced fees then things would be slightly better. And Ive noticed a lot of small venues switched ticketing companies during the pandemic. Lots of places are now using DICE which has very minimal fees. I still hate that everythings moving towards digital tickets but i hope indie promoters start to sell souvenir tickets again and get a little extra money that way.

Really? How does that work?
Ticketmaster and other platforms get all the blame with the general public for the high prices, rather than the artists, venues, and promoters themselves. It's by design.
I'm not trying to be argumentative but that hasn't explained anything about where the fees get distributed. The way I imagine it working is the promoter pays the artist to book the show. Yes some artists demand huge sums which of course means a high ticket price but figured that was reflected in ticket price. Ticketmaster is not exposed to this risk because it wasn't their money put up to book the show (Live Nation who owns Ticketmaster could be but that's a whole 'nother discussion). The "convenience fees" and "order fees" applied on top of that I figured all did stay with Ticketmaster and was nearly all pure profit. Sometimes there is other ones like parking or venue and obviously those get distributed elsewhere but by and large my thinking is artists wouldn't see any of that.

The exact breakdown is not public, but the ticket platforms only take a small portion of those convenience and order fees. Look up the archived Bob Lefsetz newsletters where he talks many times on this topic.
