Anyone planning on going to concerts relatively soon?

This morning, on sheer impulse, decided to grab tickets (AMEX presale) for Kamasi Washington at Roy Thompson Hall on October 18th. I can't even remember when I last went to a ticketmaster based concert - most definitely back when paper tickets were still a thing (decade and a half ago).

Mixed feelings about an indoor venue, but fingers crossed the world is returning to normal.

Last summer because of COVID they postponed my co-headlining concert of NEW ORDER with PET SHOP BOYS to this September at the outdoor venue Budweiser Stage. A month ago Ticketmaster contacted us and said it just got rescheduled again to next September 2022. Two f**KING years later. Not cool. LOL

depends on whether ticketmaster is trying to ream me out with fees.... Is there a new CoVid fee, a new cleaning venue fee?

I'm super disgusted by what has become the norm with ticket sales.
What a slimebucket cash grab racket.
I still can't believe this type of seller is also the reseller baloney has been allowed.
No shock that man of the people Doug Ford sided with Ticketmaster.

I have no idea if I paid a fair price, or got jacked by surge pricing.
I only got into Kamasi Washington over the last couple of years, so just excited to see a live show.
