Ticket prices seem fine to me, at least for the bands I want to see. It's the fees that are ridiculous. They literally double the price of the ticket and for what? $75 is the most I've spent on a ticket before fees, every other concert I've been to has been cheaper, the majority being about half that. And for good (but not great) seats for The Black Keys with one of my favorite bands opening for them both times I saw them, so it's 2 for the price of 1, seems a fair price. It does have to suck to be a fan of some of the most popular artists though. If I wanted to see Beyonce instead of Reel Big Fish, I'd just never get to see the artist I like live.

This second time I saw them it was Band Of Horses. The first time was Arctic Monkeys. I love The Black Keys too but both times I saw them the opening acts were the bigger draws for me.

Nice! Yep love AM and Band of Horses. I've seen black keys so many times but wow how they have grown as professional musicians from when I first saw them at Coachella. Dan is a beast on the 🎸 🏅

El Camino was about to come out when I first got to see them so they haven't grown all that much from then till now. But I can say they killed it both times. Dan is a beast and he was having a ball this last time in particular as on top of playing a ton of the hits they brought out some musicians that meant something to him and played Delta Kream in it's entirety in the middle of the set.
