I'm excited as hell to have the P comin to my town (Reno) soon. The show is at a venue I've never been to or dealt with. I've asked around and they don't seem to have the best of reputations. Could be BS but, IDK. Either way, I'm f'n goin. My main concern is getting tickets. I would rather get them local but, the two places that ate supposed to have them (the actual venue and the record shop), have no idea when they will get them if any. This leaves me with the internet. This got me thinking about fees which led me to thinking about PL70. This provoked this question.

What is the best way to make sure our boys get the most dough for a show? I don't mind paying a little extra online to make sure I actually get tickets but, does that cut from PUTS's moneies?

Please advise. Thanks.

I'm bummed, trying to get into the Seattle show and it's sold out, yet there's tons of LOSERS on Craigslist selling tickets for 60$ over face value, it's total bullshizzle...

How do these shits always manage to get the tickets before the true fans and then rip everybody off?

Is a dirty world old there, and it's about time something was done...if only tickets could be sold through PL70 first, then any remaining tickets passed on...just like Highlighter vinyl and cd?

B - maybe you have the answers on this one?

Hi guys,

Things like processing fees that you may see on Ticketmaster and other sites affect fans mostly - they are surcharges that you pay Ticketmaster or other processing companies that generally no one likes, but they do not directly impact the musicians, whose performances may factor in a number of different variables, but these variables don't have any direct relationship to these extra surcharges. When you purchase your tickets for a show, that transaction is fundamentally between you and the vendor of the tickets, not between you and the artist.

What's most important for artists is just that you come to the show, bring a few friends, be loud and have a good time. If you want to support an artist, buy a copy of their album or a t-shirt from the merch booth after the show.

But most importantly, just have fun. That's what live shows are all about.

Or the PL70 store.

Cheers B, always good to be informed by those in the know.

If they ever get to the UK again, I'll be doing all that sh!t...and then some.
