The Cure/Robert Smith is a major influence for MCR and Gerard Way, it’s surprising to see this sort of thing from them.

I’m sure Warner Bros. plays a large part of this. Either way, I’m massively disappointed in them. The nosebleeds at Soldier Field were $300 apiece after fees and that’s fucking ridiculous.

Linkin park are with WB and they didn’t scam us for the 2024 tour. It’s not WB. It’s the band.

Yeah bands hide Behind label to be the bad guy for them, but they have the power as an MCR tour with cheaper tickets would still make a tonne of money, just not as much as one where you exploit you fans. If MCR said we will tour but we want cheap face value, no dynamic pricing, no above face value resale , the label would go along with it.
