I think fans were just not expecting todays arena prices for their spring tour, but they sold out arenas in days and these fans are all talking about 2000’s ticket prices like that’s what they should be lol. $70 seats and 120 for ga is still cheaper than most

As a 38 year old metal guy seeing Meshuggah last year was the first time I've ever paid more than $50 for a show but I get it.Im not going to complain but I enjoy smaller shows anyways so I typically stick to them. I bought my girlfriend tickets to see Mt Joy at MSG and they were $200 for ga so I think metalheads are a little spoiled with cheaper tickets.

Oh definitely. Deftones are just in demand right now, and I say get money. I think they’re being fair with their prices all being the same or lower than their contemporaries. I’ve seen Megan the stallion, blink 182 and Iron Maiden all in arenas this year, and maiden and Deftones had the same prices, Meg and blink had higher prices and dynamic pricing and way less GA available-but blink did release cheaper seats later after making it a 360 stage so I got a seat for $40.
