Again: $75 for Manowar tickets[views:20262][posts:77]__________________________________ [Jul 10,2012 9:13am - chrisREX ""] http://www.massconcerts.com/event/140890/ Manowar, Manowar, living on the road. When we're in town, wallets explode! |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 10,2012 9:22am - SkinSandwich ""] Tickets could be $3 and they could be playing next door to my house and I would still be sure to miss it. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 10,2012 9:27am - trioxin245 ""] eh I'll still go. |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 10,2012 9:50am - FUCKING MORONS ""] that fag Manowarrior said:eh I'll still go. |
| _________________________________________________________ [Jul 10,2012 10:10am - Joey demaio's microscopic penis ""] Manowar fans = worse than juggalos |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 10,2012 10:12am - posbleak ""] Last year's show was worth every penny IMO I'd go to this if I hadn't already blown my tickets budget for the year but they'd have a tough time topping the last setlist anyway. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 10,2012 10:27am - KEVORD ""] Last year I refused to buy a ticket cause it was so expensive then the day of the show I was super bummed out I wasn't going. Fuck it, Manowar's one of my favorite bands I'm going this time. |

Fuck it, Manowar's one of my favorite bands I'm going this time. this is how i feel about missing the scorpions show, except they're a band i really like a lot, not one of my absolute favorites. If it wasn't so expensive i would have gone. |

I can understand loving Manowar and saying 'It was worth every dollar' to go to a $75 show. But it being WORTH that much doesn't mean that you NEED to be charged that much. There's no way a band from Auburn NY needs that much money coming in to put on a really good show. Even $50, still a stupidly high price, would be just lower enough that I might be willing to shell it out. But I can't bring myself to do 75. The reason they get away with charging this much, multiple times in a row, is because they keep getting their audience to rationalize paying that much. The only way to discourage it is to refuse to pay. |

| ________________________________ [Jul 10,2012 2:23pm - Mark_R ""] That see-saw of choice is created by them, not us. Maybe you really want to see Manowar and you love their show and that's great, but you have to see that the choice between paying exorbitant amounts of money vs. not being able to see them play the US at all is a choice presented based on the assumption that there's no way for them to play here for less than 75 a ticket. There's just no way that's true. Why do we accept it from them? We, collectively, COULD send them a message that we would love to see them and we would see them at some kind of reasonable, even high-end-of-reasonable, price. But we've been duped into emptying out our wallets because their projected aura of SACRED METAL BROTHERHOOD, or whatever, fools us into paying it their way. More than once. |

The Scorpions tickets were cheaper than Manowar. LOL Scorps played last night in CT. Didn't go, too busy. Their last time through, they played NH but not here. Wondering if we'll get any at all. |
| ________________________________ [Jul 10,2012 2:44pm - KEVORD ""] I went to the Scorpions last night. They were awesome. They've been on the farewell tour for about two years now so I wouldn't be shocked if they came back. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 10,2012 2:57pm - KPANZER ""] Gonna take the hit & buy tickets- I've never seen them live and they're one of my favorite bands. And I've spent far more than $75 in one night on stupid bullshit that never made me as a happy as 'Gates Of Valhalla' |

| __________________________________ [Jul 10,2012 3:36pm - KPANZER ""] More like $150 on merch and steal your bag..... |

Although Ive seen them before, I spent more than 75 bucks this weekend on muchhhh less. Gonna be a good time. |

| ____________________________________________ [Jul 10,2012 6:19pm - Gregd-blessedoffal ""] Well, Roger Waters was $250. And they do bring their own PA with them which is an insane PA. I saw Manowar the last time around. I have no problem with paying 75 bucks to see Battle Hymns played in it's entirely. I'm going to be out of the area with family for Thanksgiving so I'm out on this. Still, that new CD is raging letdown after the greatness of Thunder In The Sky. Man, that manowarrior tune is raging cringworthy.... |

| _______________________________________ [Nov 23,2012 8:25am - HookedonMetal ""] If it was 25, maybe even 40 bucks, then I'd consider it. But I don't think Manowar is worth 75 bucks, especially now that they're past their prime. |
| __________________________________ [Nov 23,2012 8:27am - chrisREX ""] Better buy your tickets online because they are $100 at the door. :shocked: |

| __________________________________ [Nov 23,2012 8:52am - chrisREX ""] FYI they tack on $25 convenience charge when your order online. At least, they did when I bought two tickets. BROTHERS OF METAL! |
| ________________________________ [Nov 23,2012 9:01am - KEVORD ""] I know that HookedonMetal\Thundersteel will assume I'm attacking him but the irony of someone whos entire musical taste is based on bands past their prime saying Manowar is past their prime is just too funny. |

But the difference is, their ticket prices aren't as extortionate as Manowar's. I saw Diamond Head in California last year when I was visiting my girlfriend out there and they only charged 20 bucks for tickets. And unlike Manowar, they were coming all the way from the UK. Another example... Ragnarokkr Metal Apocalypse 2012. A two-day traditional/power metal festival. Bands playing... Virgin Steele, Brocas Helm, Blacksmith, Slauter Xstroyes, Damien Thorne, Skull Fist, Borrowed Time, Voltax, Borrowed Time, Wizard, VOZ, Ancient Creation, A Sound of Thunder, Pharoah, and Stone Magnum. Tickets were still only 50 bucks. And the organizers of the fest had to shell out a lot of money to bring Wizard here from Germany. Call me a poser, but I like most of those bands more than Manowar. Therefore, there is no way to justify Manowar charging 75 bucks for tickets. |

Also, as far as "attacking me" goes, I honestly could care less. Because I don't think you'd have the balls to walk up to me and say half of what you say. |
| _________________________________ [Nov 23,2012 10:49am - KEVORD ""] I wouldn't talk to you in real life because I have no interest in ever being friends with you. You seem to think I'm the one always trolling which is wrong. If you notice I'm the one with the “balls” to say shit logged in. |

But I want to ask you... what the hell is your problem with me? I really want to know, because as far as I can tell, I've never done anything to you. |
| _________________________________ [Nov 23,2012 11:05am - KEVORD ""] I have no real problem with you. You're just a noob to this site so you take everything personal. Have you noticed the tons of troll threads about me? Or all of the six feet under jokes? Its the nature of RTTP. |

Have you noticed the tons of troll threads about me? Or all of the six feet under jokes? Its the nature of RTTP. I definitely did take some shit too personal before. It's just kinda hard sometimes (for me at least) to tell what's joking and what isn't over internet. You don't see facial expressions or tones of voice or whatever so it can be kind of easy to misunderstand shit. I saw some of them threads a while back about me having a small dick or whatever and I actually thought they were kind of funny. |
| _________________________________ [Nov 23,2012 11:40am - KEVORD ""] The only thing I ever did to you is write those parody songs which I've admitted to. Anything else or in the future is not me. |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 23,2012 11:49am - HookedonMetal ""] All right man, cool. Sorry about the misunderstanding. |
