Also for everyone that is bitching about the price of GA tickets for 67$ did you read that "Standing General Admission on the floor level, ticket includes a complementary Tiësto in Concert US Tour T-shirt, redeemable at the merchandise counter at the event, with your event ticket for proof of purchase"
Now thats a good deal a free T shirt worth at least $20 whihc now values the GA ticket at $47 which is only a few dollars more than a regular club night. |
1. The T-Shirt is just a cheap method of justifying the cost. That's just their way of justifying the costs. Those shirts probably cost $2 to make...yes, shirts w/ designs are about that cheap to make if you make enough of them.
2. For me, I wouldn't dare pay $40 to go see Sasha alone. But you know? At this point in time, paying $40 to see Sasha would be more justified because there's a better chance he'll play a brilliant set. And you are forgetting something. That's $47 for a contrained area...a damn seat. Not even room to dance or hop around. Those seats are rediculous for this type of event. |

| I think you missed the point Dave, for 67$ you get a GA ticket which lets you in anywhere but the VIP and you gte a shirt. the only seats that are confined are the $37 ones that makes you stay in the bleechers which still inst bad as it isnt asigned seating and you can roam around and dance where you want. |

Thank you Dave!
And yes...I would pay 40$ to see Sasha alone...but instead I payed 35$ to see him AND Desyn Masiello on an amazing sound system for seven hours...and I was not on the guestlist nor did I factor in a 2$ t-shirt to the price.
I'd say it was worth it... |

Maybe you can trade in the t-shirt in for an official Tiesto cape and white dove?
When did Tiesto "people" morph into U2 fans? |

I dont wanna rain on your parade man...I hope you have a great time there, as with everyone else who is going...I just cant justify that money to see ONE guy...who in all seriousness is not even that good at all. |

| I value your opinion, but to me it is worth it as I do like him and think he is a great producer as well. Like we stated before to each their own. I will enojoy that night and gladly wear my free t-shirt until my wife s it up in the wash like she always does to all my clothes LOL |

So I'm taking that as a $65 ticket to hear Tiesto for four hours. The sound setups in that place are usually pretty ass, too. :p
BTW, my friend got his tickets and he specifically knows which seats are his (3 rows up). So guess what, I think it is assigned seating dude.
I am sure the party will be great for awhile it last. But for that price, no way. I could spend the money better elsewhere.

Yeah, for $67 you can get alot of things. But for me I will be buying the $200, this way I get all the free booze I want (which you know damn well at least 10 drink), a free Tshirt and VIP seating and entry.
I agree it is somewhat steep but if you love something it is worth the money. |

100% General Admission is not legal for concerts in the USA since 11 people got trample to death at a Who concert way back in the 70s. Arenas can have some general admission on the floor, but seats have to be assigned where there are seats. |

He charges $40 here and the parking is $20! See like you I would never pay to see Sasha as he isnt my cup of tea, I would rather pay $40 to see Halliweel or Matt Darey before I would pay to see any house act.
Tiesto to me is price less and I can tell yah this, hot chicks will be all over that gig.
Good music, hot chick and a great night to remeber, that really is worth every penny. |
