Why are tickets to the upcoming The xx shows $50?

D. · 02-01-2013, 07:10 PM

Let's speculate in this topic why it would cost $50 to see a band that has been around for like three years while I saw Springsteen (who has made like three classic albums before the xx we're born) for $65.

Fuck.

D. · 02-01-2013, 07:15 PM

And yeah i know Springsteen is a dinosaur and is no good blah blah

But yknow he's proven himself with touring for like 30+ years and the shows are THREE HOURS LONG. That's why he gets away with it. Like him or not, his work ethic is insane.

Meanwhile The xx want $50 to whisper to each other and not move on stage.

redbull · 02-01-2013, 07:21 PM

because the xx are popular

also i'd like to know how the fuck you got a springsteen ticket for under $90, and if it was a nosebleed or not

cocksure · 02-01-2013, 07:24 PM

this band has posters all around town for their new album. they got sellout written all over them!!

D. · 02-01-2013, 07:26 PM

Well of course it was nosebleed! But his righteous tunes are good in any seat.

Also it's like they are from New Yoek, right? It's not like they are flying across the world to come here where I would almost expect tickets to be pricey.

Twilight sad are like a mill times better and they flew over from scotland and tickets were $10

D. · 02-01-2013, 07:30 PM

My point is The xx? More like The $$

cocksure · 02-01-2013, 07:35 PM

you mean the ££

D. · 02-01-2013, 07:41 PM

We'll would u look at that they are from across the pond

FML

D. · 02-01-2013, 07:42 PM

I still stand by my flimsy Twilight Sad comparison.

Trotskilicious · 02-02-2013, 01:45 AM

as i am not usually a person that blames pitchfork for things, the mass sudden popularity of previously "independent" or "underground" acts, like M83 or the XX is pretty much attributable to pitchfork's slavering devotion to them

D. · 02-02-2013, 02:02 AM

fuck, man

i honest to god didn't know pitchfork still had that kind of pull

Mo · 02-02-2013, 04:50 AM

Who ever said Springsteen was "no good"? Fuck them.

Euronomus · 02-02-2013, 09:56 AM

Because they want to milk the cow for all it's worth before people realize how boring they are.

IAMTHEDOORWAY · 02-02-2013, 12:56 PM

redbull knew, he just wanted to take a snarkster dig at the "uncool" music of his parents because he's still rebelling.

redbull · 02-02-2013, 01:23 PM

actually it was a dig at springsteen's recycled stage show. I enjoyed it but it's the same thing he's been doing since ESB reformed in the late 90s

redbull · 02-02-2013, 01:23 PM

i would fucking kill to see him play a solo show

IAMTHEDOORWAY · 02-02-2013, 01:25 PM

I hate Springsteen, fuck that guy

redbull · 02-02-2013, 02:08 PM

hey, fuck you

02-02-2013, 05:17 PM

because they're a great band and nobody buys albums and touring is expensive
