at least for people in Davenport, Iowa, they will not have to pay the same prices as those in Hammond, IN. I checked Ticketmaster out of curiosity. The tickets are $38 as opposed to $85.

Bully says "we are announcing the first date of our tour in Hammond, IN.
written by Guest , July 15, 2008

I said "announcing the first date", why would you think it was the first date of the tour. Bands always announce tour dates out of chronological order. P.S. we are also playing a show in 1996, tickets go on sale 12 years ago.

That's a good point
written by Eye , July 16, 2008

I remember people going all crazy when they thought Rock AM Ring was the first 2007 date. I kept on reminding people that it was only the first ANNOUNCED date, and virtually no one listened. Then there was that Billboard article that mentioned the currently announced dates for the 2nd leg of the 2007 tour. Everyone went all crazy thinking the Toronto Virgin Festival would be the only Zeitgeist tour date in all of North America. I kept telling people that it was only first ANNOUNCED one, but did most people listen, NO.

I am sure other people who didn't believe these were the first or only dates had similar arguments with people. When people don't keep these type of realities in mind, you get pissed off reactions like the 'Bend over Chicago' remark. Although, perhaps it's only born out of frustration that the closest tour date to Chicago currently announced is $85, while at least one farther away is $38.

I think the reaction was also born out of the fact that when the $85 Indiana show was announced, there was also the little "Hey, Chicago people, remember this is the closest the Pumpkins have been to their hometown since the year 2000, so cough up lots of money to see them play a casino an hour away instead"

IN REPLY TO THE TICKET PRICE.
written by COWBOY BILL , July 31, 2008

I'LL PAY WHAT I HAVE TO. I JUST WANT TO SEE THEM PLAY. BESIDES TICKET MASTER ALWAYS GIVES IT TO THE PEOPLE. I'M GLAD THAT I'M ONLY 15 MIN. FROM THE HAMMOND VENUE.

ticket price
written by Glass Ghost , August 02, 2008

That is shitty about the difference in ticket price... after ticketmaster's ridiculous fees, my Hammond ticket was $102!!.... there BETTER be a reason for that difference. I have to agree Cowboy Bill, yes, Ticketmaster always "gives it to the people"... they give it up the ass. Pearl Jam should sue TM again... those monopolizing pricks!

The Casino in Hammond sets the ticket prices. The band had no say.

I wanted to go to the one in Louisville so much, but school started back for me on the 13th, so I couldn't.
