Kind of sad to see that these guys only bring in $10/ticket

About two months ago the radio stations were hyping Creed coming to Texas Tech to perform. I figured it would be a decent show and checked out ticket prices. They wanted nearly $75 per floor ticket so I said screw it.

The day before the concert they had a sale on remaining tickets and I scored 12 floor tickets at $10 a piece. Not a bad show getting to see Creed and Saliva for $10.

I'm not really a Creed fan, but they do put on a great show.

Creed and Staind came to my school last month I think, they had some high prices (like you mention), but it I saw $10, I'd go for sure.

Meh, I'd definitely go see Creed for $10. Concerts are less about the acts now than they are about the promotion.

I was in line to buy tickets to see the Stones in '78 and they literally closed the ticket window in my face. There was a limit of 10 tickets per person and every single person in front of me bought the max. The day of the concert, they were selling tickets for $10 because no one was willing to pay the scalpers anymore because so many had got burned.

I have been led to believe that bands actually rely mostly on t-shirt sales than ticket income.

my larger problem with alt-rock radio bands is the crowds that go see them.

hell, i went to a disturbed show a while ago (mostly for the openers) and the damn crowd was mostly drunken trailer trash (no offense to anyone who lives in a mobile home, but anyone from the south knows what i mean when i say 'trailer trash'). i can't imagine how bad a saliva show would be. i'd have to just start punching people.

I died a little inside when Creed announced their reunion. I was positive Scott Stapp had died of a coke overdose.

I almost got dragged to that Creed concert in Lubbock. I maneuvered my way out of it though.
