see, if these were really in small theaters i'd completely agree with you. so yeah, Seattle show was a bargain, for seated parts. so was Detroit show and casino shows that were just added. all together those "some theaters" you meantioned are really just like 4 shows out of 20, and most of them are not theaters but casinos. and most of their shows did not have platinum seating (like other similar acts have in those same venues), and so best tix are
only avaiable on scalper sites for like $500. that money could have gone to them, and those seats were never available on TM. and i don't want to pay that money to a scalper.
but i've been in the sheds (not small theaters!) that they mostly have booked. i've sat in the loge at wolftrap. you need some kind of binoculars to see who is even on the stage. and the lawn is your regular lawn, as in any shed. nice for a picnic with some background music, but you will barely see that someone is even on the stage, you'll just hear the music. and i love wolftrap. but again, lawn needs to be cheap if shed, not $60.
and yes, i'm not talking about ridicoulus Classic shows at stadiums. i agree with you these are way overpriced. i'm talking about more regular shows. or shows of their peers. or, if they are interested in younger audiences.
i wanted to see BuckVie in Warner Theatre in DC, or similar small theater around the area. i wanted to see them in Beacon in NYC, not at the shed by Philly. those are small theaters to me, and Brian Wilson plays there, to name just one of their peers. and Prince did too. there is no bad seat at that place.
so yeah i agree with you their average price is cheap, but for that you will get somewhat or really crappy seats. there are no really expensive seats (except through scalpers) and there are definitely no $15 lawn seats that people who are normally going to those sheds are used to.
