I need musicians and bands to stop booking shows at White River Amphitheater.
First of all, when bands list Seattle on their upcoming tours with WRA as the location they obviously don’t know not only is it not in Seattle but the venue is in AUBURN which even from South Seattle is about an hour away, give or take traffic included in that. Especially on a weekday, some of us work for a living so you already have to drive all the way to Auburn, watch the show, sit in traffic for what feels like forever to get out and then drive back. It’s just not worth the hike for those of us common folk with jobs that we have to go to the following day. Hayley Williams could easily perform at Paramount or WAMU. Evanescence could easily sell out Climate Pledge Arena or WAMU. So many venues IN the city limits of Seattle and their management is booking shows in bumfuck Auburn??
Also for some reason GA/pit tickets are EXPENSIVE at this venue too. For Evanescences tour tickets for the pit were $200, during the presale. Absolutely asinine to charge that much.
Edit: Some of you are dense as fuck on purpose. Nobody said anyone outside of the 206 shouldn’t get music but sorry your main venue sucks ass and plenty of people agree. Better public transit and restructuring the parking so people can leave faster would solve a lot of the issues.
