Well, last year I paid $60 (Australian) to see them. That's about how much it generally costs for bands as popular as Opeth, but for really really popular bands it can be $100+ (Iron Maiden).
Yeah, instead of getting raped by fucking Ticketmaster I'm going to go to the venue box office and buy tickets- does anyone have any idea on what the fees are generally like there? (It's House of Blues Boston)
HOB is owned by LiveNation so I'd bring the ticket price plus $10 just in case they want to charge some bullshit processing fee at the box office for some reason. Usually HOB's don't have a drink minimum which is cool though. Then again I've only been to HOB Anaheim and LA so it may be different over there.
The initial Ticketmaster price for such an even usually runs about $20-25 roughly. But after (in)convenience charges th price is usually up somewhere around $30-40. That's just based on my own personal experience though....and it's been a few months since i've dealt with Ticketmaster so prices may have raised a little bit sine then.
