I'll go shopping with Joe M to pick me out a nice one.

$142 a ticket with fees is insanity thru the WH? Anyone else agree?

It's definitely creeping up there. I can afford it, and it's one of my few joys in life, so I don't bitch too much - but I sure don't know how you're keeping younger fans or fans with kids / adult responsibilities seeing multiple shows at that price point. I'm with you there.

Patagonia, work x3. Italy sounds good to me man, can't beat the scenery and wine.

I'm first generation here from italy - so I go back quite often with my father, who still has family there - it's truly amazing - heading back in August myself, which is why I'm glad all the shows I want to attend this year are early

But it’s not so bad since it only affects 10 to 20 people.

But its $126.50 per ticket

What do folks recommend doing during the day? Never made the trip but am interested in what the area would offer aside from the shows.


Thanks!

You mean SPAC vip tickets, or Premium WH tickets? WH Premium Packages are no different than requesting regular seats in terms of getting selected as far as my experience goes...its just as difficult.

So basically Premium Warehouse Tickets just gets you another chance at getting seats not lawn for $500 more. Got it

One could argue that no seats are worth it since Carter stopped throwing sticks.

About two hours east of Rome up in the mountains - tiny village called Gamberale. It neighbors Pizzoferrato, who's claim to fame is being the birthplace of Bruno Sammartino (it's one town over)

Agreed. Almost $600 for two tix for two nights! And that's obviously just for tickets. Someone tell the band their heyday was 15 years ago.

It's a joke. $17 just for shipping. Great way to treat the loyal fans.

That's probably actual cost to everyone, but likely well above their business account rate.

That is with fees. Shipping isn't applied to each ticket so its impossible to say how much each ticket is including shipping

They’re charging $350 for NON premium seats to the Oklahoma shows.....

To be honest, have you ever shipped tickets via FedEx? It’s pretty expensive. They get discounted rates for sure but... from a business perspective that’s about right.
