jeffreybload Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 First time ever...I might skip a concert due to the service fees. $45 ticket with $17.40 in fees. Much as I would like to be there, couch surfing with the ipod might be the way to go. DSO is one of my favorite ways to spend an evening, but $63.40 is too much...thoughts?

You're right that's ridiculous but I have paid about that amount but at that time I hadn't seen a show in a while. I've heard of people paying way more for things they enjoy like the way we enjoy dso I think we got spoiled going to dead shows even in the late 80's they kept ticket prices reasonable and i would think dso tries to do the same but there is only so much they can do i hate greedy ticketing agencies they will keep going until they have all the money.

jeffreybload Posted February 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Tru Dat...it's just lame. I'll probably go because I do enjoy the heck out of it, but what a crock... Thanks for putting it into perspective! Peace... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helpfrankslip Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 I remember my daughter going to this summer rock festival at shoreline couple years ago tickets were $150+ and she was only interested in only one of the bands that were there then and they only were on for maybe an hr at most so yeah we got it good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead and Co will cost more and won't be as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What strangeness? Ventura was a slice of heaven. Wide open dance space everywhere with a super hip crowd and a killer elective. Unless strangeness is being used as a positive adjective. You know it's gonna get stranger, so let's get on with the show! 2nd set open with Corrina. Instrumental Imagine out of drums. Much more but fuzzy memory precludes me from sharing it.

Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted February 25, 2017 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Not everyone likes Corinna. I definitely feel like DSO is playing it a touch too much but that is just the opinion of one fan. Still no setlist for us to see. Dr b you still coming to Colorado? I take it you made it to socal.
