Notes_Norton Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Most people will charge as much as the market will bear. If it costs too much to see them, just don't go. I'm old enough to remember when kids could afford concert tickets. But that was a long time ago. And yes, I'm an old man, still gigging, to senior citizens. I actually chose that market when I was 40. Here in Florida, it's a big market, with much more job security than the bars gave us at the time. And DJs were taking the biz away from live musicians in the young folks' bars. We played Sinatra, Miller, Basie, Ellington songs, and eventually introduced Elvis and the early rockers, as the elders died off and the next generation moved in. Then Beatles, and on and on. When Rap gets to the senior market, I'll retire. I just can't talk that fast. I see no problem with Kiss, Stones, McCartney or any other entertainer still performing. It's not what we do, it's what we are. Notes ♫ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelhanson Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I think the public and the market determine what lives on. Hey, if it sells, why not. It’s a nice retirement plan . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a nice retirement plan . I agree, and I bet the public rejects this as a whole. That said, it is crappy and low quality. In a marketing sense, it was absolutely ill-timed ...you create demand by being scarce/exclusive/etc. If Gene and Paul aren't set for life at this point, well, they are a special kind of stupid IMO. Again, from a guy who has followed them since 1976 and has more collectibles then most could shake a stick at, I squarely put this on GREED.

Do ya'll think there is at least 100 people would buy these tickets? If you don't think there's 1000 people that will pay that, your not understanding the power of KISS. Believe me, there's at least 1000 people that will pay for those tickets. UFB!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I know at least a few of them. Seems exorbitant to me, but then again, I used to spend even more than that on smokes, and that was over a decade ago. Not counting what I wasted in bars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, you get a nice convention room, dress it up real nice and put some good food with decent wine for the fans while they anticipate meeting the group.... You would still make millions!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
