Linkin Park spare tickets

edited September 13 in Not Sports Related
Following on from the Oasis thread, if anyone manages to get 2-3 spare tickets for Linkin Park, please let me know.

Ticketmaster sold their allocation in 30mins. 

Currently in the AXS queue still.

  • A lot of drama about their reformation! 

    I checked out some of their albums as a result of the fuss. A Thousand Suns is actually really great, I had no idea 
  • Failed to get any... Frustrating.
  • Ticket prices now are blowing my mind. 

    Mate managed to get a ticket for the O2 gig, cost him £105 for standing ticket. 

    Obviously a long time ago, but when I saw them at London Docklands in 2001, it was £15. 
  • Oh well - in the end it doesn't even matter.
    Love it 🤣
  • These ticket prices are making me crawl in my skin
  • Sign up to a site called Twickets , it has real fans post tickets if they can’t go , cost price or cheaper , it can be up until the day of the gig but I’ve never had problems getting tickets on there

    I'd go Numb paying that to stand, and probably Faint
  • I have a theory about concert ticket prices, with streaming artists make a fraction of what they did through album and single sales, so they try to recoup it through touring.

    It's a fact not a theory and I can't blame them.

     That's a fact known by many as the Hybrid Income Theory or to LP fans simply as Hybrid Theory.
  • Somehow managed to grab a couple of seated tix via AXS during the Thursday LPU pre-sale (Ticketmaster was farcical).
    Jumping on this thread for it to be bumped when they inevitably announce a summer stadium/festival run for 2025.

    It works both ways though as they can play way more shows than before as the Internet gives them a much bigger audience. Not to mention the artists who start doing shows before they’ve even dropped an album, which wouldn’t have been possible before.

    Didnt most bands always do shows before getting a record deal?

  • Not on the same scale, no. Artists build up huge fanbases on the Internet in a way they didn’t before.

    I'm sure I don't have the full picture but Chester's son seems to be trying to make this reformation all about him. Comes across as a massively entitled dickhead.

    They didn't really do themselves many favours replacing him with someone that's in a cult and a rapist sympathiser admittedly..

    Personally, Linkin Park should have carried on without a new singer, the crowd always do an excellent job of singing for Chester

    The old industry model is dead and buried now so all newer bands are basically on 360 deals, labels and publishers will take money from all forms of revenue. Back in the day it was just through record sales, but unless you're A List on spotify, you barely make a penny through sales now. 

    I spent 16 years successfully working in the industry as a backline technician and worked with some pretty big bands too (including one tour with LP too!), these days though it would be almost impossible for me to earn a living in the industry.
