r/NYCConcerts

Just saw Grace Ives is going for $300 fucking dollars resale, whereas tickets for her in other cities are only $25. Clearly the venue she’s playing isn’t big enough for the demand, so why doesn’t she upgrade? Seems so stupid to shut out so many people from seeing someone who’s only pulling 500k monthly listeners on spotify.

For me and my lovely girlfriend. The resale tickets are selling for $400 a ticket, and who has that in this economy?
Please help out two sapphic women of color see their favorite band. 💗💗💗

Considering a last minute trip to NYC this weekend - do last minute MSG tickets ever get discounted to below face value? Hotels and flights are booked but would likely have to lock in tomorrow (Wed) night and Springsteen would be a big reason for coming atm otherwise was leaning on canceling.

I don’t really care about the seat or getting in late just not really sure if you can get tickets once the show starts like in some cities.

Hey guys! I'm a comedian who has been on comedy central, NBC, Netflix, HBO and more. I'm living in Astoria and taping my third comedy special locally at Grove 34. It would mean the world to me if you could attend and support local artists! It's $6 off with code: ELEPHANT

EDIT: Found a ticket directly from ticketmaster. They released some non-resale GA tix this afternoon! Scams averted! Mods - feel free to close this one!

I’m a dummy and found out about this show after tix had already sold out. Looking for an extra. Would be very grateful.

If your reddit history has nothing about nyc, music or concert-going in NY and other cities, I will assume you're a scammer.

***SOLD***

Selling for $40 each OBO. Something came up last minute and I can't go because the event starts at 7pm. I prefer payment through Paypal Good and Services to protect both parties, but open for any other forms of payment. Event info below:

Things to Know

The doors will open at approximately 6:00pm. The line for entry will begin at the base of the Cathedral steps and proceed south down Amsterdam Ave towards 110th Street. The primary entrance is through the front doors of the Cathedral at 112th St and Amsterdam Ave (1047 Amsterdam Ave). For a stairless entrance, please enter the Cathedral via the ramp on the north side of the building. 

Upon entry, you will proceed through Cathedral Security, which includes a bag check and metal detectors. Please leave large bags at home to help speed up this process. After having your ticket scanned, Cathedral Ushers will direct you to the seating area. This event has open seating. Please be sure to arrive before the concert's start time - we cannot guarantee late seating.

Looking for one ticket to go to Slide Away at Brooklyn Paramount on Saturday 5/16.

Ticketmaster released more GA tickets so it's not sold out. I've seen a few listings on 3rd party ticket websites that are priced below face, even with fees, but I'd love to avoid paying the fees as much as you'd love to avoid them taking a percentage of your proceeds.

If you're trying to sell at a mark-up, keep walking... but if you have an extra and you're trying to avoid it going to waste for the whole price, message me.

Hi! I may have an extra ticket for the black keys at bk paramount tonight - let me know if you need! :)

I know I’m probably beating a dead horse with a stick, but I also have genuine examples of this being ridiculous and as someone who has been going to Concert for 10+ years, it actually hurts how bad it’s gotten.

I’ve been seeing The Story So Far every year pretty consistently since 2015 and I’ve always acknowledge that they’re never gonna be the same band that was performing at small bar stages and what not. In 2022 I saw them with Joyce Manor on their tour and at terminal five for $52 and it really was an awesome show. However, flash forward to 2026 and I just got tickets for their tour they just announced and it’s literally going to be at the same venue at terminal five with artists I am going to be frankly honest I’ve never heard of (not that this is a problem) for $65. There’s no way the show is going to be that much different from what I saw in 2022 that there’s that much of a hike up lol and that’s just me being honest.

I first noticed the inflation be becoming an issue in 2023. My friend invited me to a Pierce The Veil/The Used concert at the Rooftop Pier/Pier 17. The concert was $80 which I was baffled about because I have never spent more than $55 to see either of those acts live on their headliners. Not to mention that Pierce the Veil had a 10 song set list, where two of those songs were interludes. For this tour, PTV was supposed to perform first before The Used, but since New York had two shows they switched it for this night. Pierce the Veil closed out, but because they had basically a seven song playlist the show literally ended like 30 minutes early. You couldn’t even tell who was performing (unless you knew the music) because they didn’t even have a flag or a backdrop where you could tell. I can’t lie in this moment that I felt robbed of my money because I think the band has been around long enough that there’s no reason they couldn’t have added like three or four surprise songs to fit the time a lot.

I also felt robbed because back in 2016, I also saw a Pierce the Veil with Neck Deep and I Prevail opening for $55 at Hammerstein. Not to mention, Pierce the Veil did an awesome set where they came in with this crazy animated intro, they changed their backdrop three times, and they had a really good set list too prepared for the fans to love.

It’s weird to live in a time where concerts are becoming really inaccessible in all genres. But I can’t lie it especially hurts to see it happening in alternative music because the concerts being accessible were what made it so special. All throughout college I used to brag about how I spent more money on like a formal dress than I did on a total of three concert concerts in a semester lol. When I saw how much it is to see All Time Low NOW, in addition to the meet and greet package was insane. There’s no way you’re gonna have me pay $300 in total to see a bunch of guys with receding hairlines still singing about how they’re “the youth of today”.

I’m open to what other people have seen as well! I just think it’s interesting times we are living and that’s for sure
