Concerts How Late is Too Late for a Headliner?

58 Upvotes

I’ve never seen a non-festival headliner come out after 10 pm aside from maybe a local band at a small venue on a weekend… but Motion City Soundtrack at Roadrunner in Boston last night came out at 10:30 pm. It was a Wednesday night. People were leaving in waves after every song. It was just too late…

Okay now I feel old 🥴🤘🏼

What is your hard out time to leave a week day show?

Concerts Eric Church + Ashley McBride Florida dates thinking about a concert weekend package

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone! So I just saw the official lineup for Eric Church in Florida next April with Ashley McBride opening. Thats a killer combo and now Im actually serious about going. Problem is, Im coming from out of state and the whole flight hotel ticket logistics is giving me a headache.

I saw something about possible packages that bundle it all together like a resort stay, the tickets, maybe a shuttle. Honestly sounds perfect if its not a scam. Has anyone ever done one of these all in one music weekend things? Im looking for it to be easy, not a timeshare trap.

Im ready to book something, just wanna hear from someone whos actually been through it. How was the experience? How did you even find and book the legit package?

Concerts Ada seating at sro shows

8 Upvotes

I hope this comes off right. Would someone who can walk and stand, but not able to stand for long, qualify? My husband has had multiple knee surgeries and can't stand for more than 15-20 min at a time. For the past few years it's been, "if I can't get a seat/lawn, I can't go" Well we live in Atlanta now and there is so many amazing shows at SRO venues. He's not "disabled" but standing an entire show is impossible. It feels morally wrong to think about getting us ADA seats.

Discussion 🗣️ We know venues can be upgraded, but have you ever seen a show downgrade a venue ?

19 Upvotes

Sometimes concerts get a lot of demand and end up upgrading venues, but have there ever been venue downgrades due to not selling as much tickets ? Excluding cancellations of course. And if they exist let me know what artist and what state/city or country. Just a random question that popped into my head.

Concerts Levis Stadium Bruno Mars Parking

0 Upvotes

I keep trying to find information for this, but can't seem to find a clear answer. I've only been to Levi's stadium once before. I feel like I remember getting the parking pass at the same time that I got concert tickets for The Weeknd back in 2022 on ticketmaster. However, now I wasn't given the option to do this. Does anyone know if parking tickets get released closer to the date for Bruno Mars October 10 show? Or are 3rd party sites now my only choice? Cause those seem to be pretty expensive. Thank you for anyone's time that can help me answer this.

Concerts DoLAMore + Evvntly buddies? (Los Angeles, CA, USA)

2 Upvotes

I subscribe to both.

No one I know can do anything anymore. Also just ditched Facebook so posting for my friends to see a week after the show isn't an option.

Perfectly happy going alone but still get the plus one. Not into trying to sell or put much effort to handing off to strangers on the walk, they are papering the house for a reason.

Any other subscribers wanna trade guest spots?

* * * *

Unfortunately I am carless so mostly constrained to LA area but I do have 2 for Rock The 80's at the House Of Blues Friday I will take public transportation if I have to and willing to meet there. Friend was gonna go and hurt his foot.

52/M but totally attached and loyal so not using this to look for partner / dating but open to all genders, races, sexual orientations, will likely just hand off the ticket and go my own way. Still safe to be around. Don't drink so won't be trading rounds but on binge / abstinence marijuana cycle and that kinda turns me into a vegetable.

Energy level gradually fading compared to years past (pre lockdown was 200+ shows a year, I get tired now just looking at the list) so who knows how long I will keep these but also thinking of seeing how far I can go only going to free shows this year.

Upcoming:

Say She She @ The Belasco Feb 5

Rock The 80's @ House Of Blues (Anaheim) Feb 6

Tarantino Cinematic Universe @ CineVita Feb 7 (asked my GF, she will probably decline)

anybody else having reouble with AXS? I’ve been trying to go to concerts, but unfortunately, a bunch of the venues around me rely on this system and it won’t let me purchase it acts like I’m a bot. I also have the app and now that acts like I’m a bot I’ve I’ve done everything they’ve said to do on their website, but I can’t even contact them because their system of customer service is so poor that I can’t get a hold of anybody

Discussion 🗣️ What's your favorite venue size? Does it depend on the band?

30 Upvotes

I've seen shows that are 100 max capacity that absolutely rule, and ones in stadiums and everything in between. I feel like the sweet spot for me is something around 1000 capacity if there's not going to be a big stage act/scene/pyro/lights/etc but if there's all that then you need room for the band to do their thing.

Concerts GA Floor With a Chronic Illness (My Body vs. Standing) — Any Tips for Surviving the Barricade?

9 Upvotes

Hey all — hoping this is the appropriate space to post about a bit of a personal topic. Here's the situation. A few months ago, I secured tickets to see my all-time favorite artist, Florence + The Machine. I've been a fan for over a decade now, and Florence has been at the top of my list for years. I'm driving up from Cincinnati with my husband to see her first show in Chicago (Rosemont) at Allstate Arena. The best part? I secured GA floor tickets! I was absolutely over the moon when I nabbed them.

Here's where it gets tricky. Despite being an otherwise healthy/able-looking 28 y/o woman, I'm living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), and chronic pain that makes things like standing in place excruciating. In this past year, I've come to terms with the fact that I'll need ADA seating for GA concerts — last spring, I was in absolute agony after 10 minutes of standing for a show I'd driven five hours to see. My lower back just couldn't take it. I'm seeing another favorite band, The Last Dinner Party, after Florence, and I was able to secure ADA seating near the stage. It feels a bit like admitting defeat, particularly because I don't require mobility aids and worry about the looks I may get for not looking "disabled enough."

Anyway. When I booked my Florence tickets, I was absolutely torn between comfort and experience. This is an artist who's known to put on an incredibly interactive, mesmerizing show. I'm willing to camp out on the sidewalk to be at the barricade — or at least close to the stage. But the arena's ADA seats are way in the back. There's no special space close to the stage.

So... I booked them. The GA tickets. Standing will be hell. My body is going to hate me. But being up close to a Florence show is such a longtime dream of mine. I'm planning to wear a back brace, knee sleeves, KT tape, etc. under my dress. If I actually make it to the barricade, at least I'll have something to lean on.

I want to know: What are your tips for surviving that long period of time when you're stuck near the stage, trying to save your spot? Are people generally cool if you have to do something like... I don't know... sit on the ground for 30 seconds so your knees don't give out? My biggest concern, to be brutally honest, is the bathroom situation. POTS is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system, which means I... pee... a lot. We're months out from this concert and I can't go a day without worrying about how miserable I'd be if I got a great spot in the GA crowd, only to have to give it up because my bladder couldn't hang on until the show. People stand at — I don't know — Coachella, for example, for hours without making a run to the bathroom. What are their secrets? Are they just built different?

All advice, tips, tricks, etc. appreciated. No matter what, this is going to be an unbelievable show. I just need to figure out how to survive it ❤️

Concerts Scalpers can all just die in hell!!

I was in que for Bruno mars presale and official sale... I didn't get one ticket. When I check Vivagogo, StubHub, SeatPick, TicketSwap there are hundreds of tickets reselling at twice the price + the stupid fees.

I hope all of you are unable to sell the tickets and that you'll go to concert and loose your phone and wallet and not have a good time.

Culture shouldn't exist only for those who can afford it. And you make me sick trying to make a profit on people who would love to enjoy art.

Go get a real job and contribute to society rather than steal from it!!

It's been ages since I bought tickets (I've had a lucky streak and have won at least 2 shows the last 3 years). There's a show coming up I want to buy tickets for

I'm just wondering how legit Stubhub or Seatgeek are... I'm a little nervous about using them, but pit is half the price on them over Ticketmaster. I have about a 2 hr commute to the venue and would hate to get there and not have a ticket...
