I have literally expressed this ridiculousness in feedback to a ticket buying site. Basically robbing us after we purchase their product
squirmster
$42 for tickets is fucking cheap!
thiscocainemakesmefeellikeimonthiswebsite
priceless
Karmak
Love her twitch.tv streams
confirmsthings
I paid 15 bucks and saw Noisia live, the fuck is 1 concert for 42? Defton.1 is about that price is you book early and it's a weekend fest.
Flaate
I know this post is 10 months old, but it is helarious to see them blame millennial; so inspiering it makes me wanna kill more! I mean what?
MinYoongiChonJaeJjangJjangmanbboongbboong
Where the f you get concert tickets for $42?!?
sprbwlshuffler
If anything, millennials are saving and expanding live music.
90sWereGold
I live in a college town with free live music all the time. Almost never do I see college kids there. They prefer the pretentious shit bars.
GifAsInGiraffe
what are convenience fees?
ImScaredToUseMyRealNameHere
Anne Munition.. Ammunition... Clever girl.
guyintoga
i fucking wish i only paid $71 for a concert! i can't even find one for under $90 without taxes!
Danowar1990
>implying that live music only exists in big venues
PedroBenecol
This.
Chrispybobispy
The nice thing about 8$beers is it justifys me spendings 60$ on beer!
anonwhymouse
Why do they get upset when millennials won't spend money we don't have?
powwerbottom
As a professional musician, millenials are our main money maker
Calza027
$42 for a ticket? I wish, most larger bands here in Aus end up charging anywhere from AU$75 - AU$150 for the cheapest seats in the house
RudeDudeRunnin
Try $150 for the concert ticket.
cr4sh0verride
Adapt or die, bitches.
BayazTheBenevolent
Onward, fellow Millenials. Don't stop until we've killed all of their fucking cash-grabby industries.
TheGrubermeister
I've been to plenty of shows in the $15-$20 range. And even the beer was less than $8. What the fuck shows are these people going to?
stjohnixx
Tailgate or drink outside the venue. Concerts are no fun with a bottle or cup in your hand
YoullBePerfectWhenYoureDead
It all depends on where you live. In NYC, you have small shows and venues like Webster that are generally decent, but then you have places
OwenRawk
Bands that are one hit wonders and then flounder after the second album.
YoullBePerfectWhenYoureDead
like the Playstation Theatre with higher demand/more popular foreign acts that hit you for $50ish, and then MSG that fucks you in the ass
SergeantDonnyDonowitz
Breaking news: when rich people take all of the money away from the not rich people, the not rich people eventually run out of $ to give.
unknownSubscriber
"Give me money for concert ticket"..."no"...thats how easy it is.
motoalchemist
just saw iron maiden...add 40.00 for parking......i kid you not
Prototypeplaya5
Went to warped tour at the Palace of Auburn Hills, parking was $20 on top of the $55 ticket and expenses for food and merch, it's crazy
malikcarr
That sounds more like the venue's fault, I doubt the band gets a cut of that. Though knowing Rod Smallwood it's not impossible...
motoalchemist
yeah, it was to park right next to the stadium, venue got that money...but it all comes from the same wallet
mintynipples
Sounds about right. Just saw Metallica. $300 for two tickets, $40 for parking, and $40 for one shirt. Best night ever, but my money. :(
MrBayernMunchen
ATL?
mintynipples
Miami Gardens
Selerox
$300 for two tickets? Fuck that.
mintynipples
They were actually only about $80 (I think? The ticket was a gift) a seat but the ticket fees were insane.
CoinsareBinaryDice
Tickets have always been like this, at least since I've been going to shows in the mid 90s. If you don't want to pay arena fees go see small
CoinsareBinaryDice
Bands in small venues. Or eat a dick. Either way, I'm not in charge here who gives a shit.
Tinkrr
See, your problem is your not blaming others for your problems enough and are doing logical things like looking for alternatives.
JHawke
Curious, when I went to concerts and festivals early 2000 we didn't have this. This is not meant as an insult, but are you perhaps American?
CoinsareBinaryDice
I'm curious why you feel the need to preface asking if I'm American with "this is not meant as an insult".
JHawke
Because the last two times a simmilar question arose people appeared to think I was mocking them.

Noone is arguing your authority on unreliable information...
ohhhhhhello
We get it regardless in Australia. It's either paying for physical tickets (either BO or post) or the PAH fee. Around $6. Total rort
SleepIsDeathPractice
A fee that some venues tack on to penalize you for not using their tickets, very rare but it does happen
thequicksilver
It's not that rare. Most major venue shows that use any of the big ticketing vendors now have it.
sstelmaschuk
Dealing with Ticketmaster is like travelling through the 8th Level of Hell.

Can you guys kill Brussels sprouts next? I hate that shit and it keeps popping up at Xmas. Every damned year. Thanks, big fan.
MFDork
Seriously, try them cut in half, roasted with olive oil, coarse salt, and pancetta, then hit them with a balsamic glaze. It's my favorite.
nerdyvet
There are a lot of really good ways to eat Brussels Sprouts. Most of the time they're WAY overcooked, which makes them mushy and sulfury.
SnartHelg
I am a millennial and I love brussels sprouts. In the millennial apocalypse the only food will be brussels sprouts.
brusselssprouts
dude are you kidding me? what ever did i do to deserve this
MyMiddleNameIsLiterallyJoy
Can I get rid of them by eating them? Hooray for free food that's not ramen!!
specificstatistics
Cut in half; put on baking sheet with chopped, cooked bacon; drizzle with a balsamic honey reduction; mix; toast; yum.
MFDork
I do similar, except I use olive oil, a little coarse sea salt and pancetta for the cooking phase, and then finish with a balsamic glaze.
CoolHandRK
Garlic, salt, olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Boredtodeath
No way. Honey siracha roasted, or covered in a butter cheese sauce. Eat that shit for days
Smayds
Cut them in half, then in half again, then once more, then tip down sink.
AltHorrorPunk
I used to hate Brussels sprouts until I tried them roasted. Now they're one of my favorite foods.
bloatedplutocrat
Bro. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/brussels-sprouts-with-pecans-and-cranberries-recipe-1944845 Seriously. Do it.
IDriveAMinivan
I use pistachios instead of pecans and it's amazing!
IDriveAMinivan
Oh and add Parmesan cheese.
doctorbees
NO I LOVE BRUSSEL SPROUTS, YOU LEAVE THEM ALONE
TimeToPie
Nooooooooooooo. Check my bio
Chievestevenbouigon
Cut them in half, drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Broil in the oven for about 10 min. Tasty shit
doctorhat
YES. Like the blackened chips at the bottom of a bag on the outside, fresh and soft and delicious on the inside.
ISayFuckAllTheTime
Needs some fucking garlic, and then it'll be one of my favorite side dishes to make.
Chievestevenbouigon
Oh yeah, forgot that part. (Haven't made them in a bit) I'm sure it'd be fine without if you don't like garlic

DrSymphonic
Ugh! Mom & grandma would bring out cheddar covered Brussel sprouts for turkey day & Chrimmeh every year. Even the dog wouldn't eat them.
adjacentengels
What is Chrimmeh?
DrSymphonic
Christmas when dad was too dunk to say it. Always came out Chimmeh.
adjacentengels
Ah; wasn't sure if it was a holiday from another culture I hadn't heard of.
notme222
Cut them in half before cooking. It releases the sulfur. Then roast and serve with a sweet sauce. (I coat them in apple juice.)
mydailydoseofantidepressantsisyourbooty
Yes! All of this. Sooo good
CantKeepThisCuntDown
Caramelized onions, bacon, butter, garlic and salt.
aegis27
It's generally quite telling that, to improve something, you cover it with things that would be good by themselves.
JHawke
Roast as in open fire, or as in grilling pan?
notme222
Either will work. I put them under the broiler, personally. A little char on them develops the flavor into something nicer.
Poltergeist94
I do this nice Dijon mustard/maple syrup sauce
JHawke
Why specifically dijon mustard? I always assumed that was just a brand.
Poltergeist94
No it's just a spicier mustard. Makes it more savory
Jocke
You can also skip the sweet stuff and go savory!
AngryHumanoid
That's how I like em, bit of salt and pepper, serve blackened. House will smell like cabbage a few days but worth it!
thdudedude
Or just throw them out and eat what you want

Everyone who likes rock should make sure to see the struts and Greta van fleet. Both have cheap tickets, both are beyond fantastic live
GilderoyPopDropNLockart
The Struts didn't do much for me

The water prices are nefariously clever though. I too would like to be a concert water baron.

what if i would tell you they probably have to put down huge money first to get to open the stand thats usually why they charge you

WardSharlow
1) I asked a bartender for a glass of water and he tried to charge me for a bottle. So, I told him that the law says that any place that
WardSharlow
2) serves alcohol HAS to serve free water. So he gave me an empty glass and told me to fill it up in the bathroom.
WardSharlow
3) In retrospect, I respect his dedication to being an asshole. But, still, shitty way to treat a DD.
DisguisedLizardThing
Just do as he said and fill it in the bathroom. With piss. Then "accidentally" tip it over the counter. Masturbation optional but encouraged
TielKiri
This sounds illegal.
WardSharlow
It kinda floored me, actually. I was about 23 and I thought I was so clever.

MaggGyver
That is legitimately deserving of a shitty Yelp/Google review.
WardSharlow
This was around 2000 or 2001.
Crossark
I'd like to point out that blaming the consumer for high prices is like blaming the patient for high medical bills.
PhailRaptor
Careful, people who draw attention to this fact tend to "disappear"
Tinkrr
To be fair, sometimes it's the patient's fault for putting the object that deep up their rectum without a rope or something attached to it.
grotjam
Too lazy to link a real one: #slowclapgif
GelatinousOne
It is the consumer that allows high concert prices. Don't go, watch the prices drop. Gotta deal with some sort of health care though.
Crossark
You completely missed the point of this; it's literally the most basic principle of economics that BUSINESSES set the prices of goods (1/2)
Crossark
& services to MAXIMIZE their profits. In other words, THEY'RE making the prices so high; not the mere existence of a demand. (2/2)
GelatinousOne
Remove demand and prices react. THAT'S basic. No demand, No high prices.
Crossark
Yes, but you're forgetting who actually SETS the prices. Capitalization is not performed by the consumers.
SpiderBiteHurt
Yes, good, Millennial High command will be pleased with this news. Next we kill the movie industry, then on to the NFL.
IntergalacticCinematic
Puh puh puhlease don't kill the movie industry. I don't want to go back to blowin' truckers at the Flying J.
manslut
Can we just start and stop with the NFL? Thanks.
ItsUncleSam
Nearly every male 6-100 is a football fan. The NFL isn't going anywhere.
LonelyBrannigan
No NFL first!
NoYouNeedYOURStomachPumped
Yes plz
emkev
NFL is already in decline. Don't worry, Millenials will take the blame.
PascalCasedUserName
I wouldn't miss the NFL. Or NBA. Or MLB. Or NASCAR. Or PGA. Or MLS. But you touch my hockey and I will end you all. We'll make more.
toastyrotzy
honestly I know so few people who actively watch football. Pretty sure more of this generation watches let's plays on youtube over sports

We will unleash our greatest weapon upon them - Political Correctness. It's reaching maximum charge!

I'd like to suggest we target the NCAA instead. Millions of dollars for the coaches. Abuse and not much else for the players.

You leave marvel movies out of this

By all means, let's speed up the NFL thing.

Well, movie piracy has a reason, right? Not just us (blergh) Millennials feel that way.

Can we do away with professional sports already? Or is it too soon?

thank you in adfrance
oscillatingdogfan
They'll still blame millennials. It's easier than admitting a faulty system and appeasing a new generation by meeting market demands.
PoliticalAutisticScreeching
You're not wrong. Goodell has run the NFL into the ground.
ItsUncleSam
As a Pats fan, fuck Goodell
PoliticalAutisticScreeching
Not a Pats fan. In fact I hate them.(Dolphins fan here). But I do agree that situation was blown out of proportion.
ItsUncleSam
Goodell doesn't understand high school chemistry. But I hate talking about it, because it's over, it's in the past. We got our revenge.

At least the browns are

In that it's an organization created for the sole purpose of turning over any profits beyond their costs directly to the team owners.

In 2015 they lost tax exempt status, via an act of Congress.
oscillatingdogfan
Four hours of commercials for ten minutes worth of playing.
ItsUncleSam
More like an hour of play, 3 hours total.
Wobbixx
Actually, if you time an entire game snap to tackle, they average around 4 minutes iirc.

*11, and the actual bursts of action don't matter, they happen at most every 30 seconds, you're never waiting for something to happen.
