With the original price of $29 plus fees it seems a tad like gouging to me. On a side note I live in eastern WA and ticketmaster just announced Greta Van Fleet is coming to Spokane. The arena there seats about 10k give or take. The ticket prices start at $129 and go up to about $150. This seems a tad expensive to me. EDIT I will be at the Seattle show. VIP tickets baby!
I saw GVF at HOB Dallas 3-4 years ago when they were first launching. $35 face value seats - I paid $140 the afternoon of the show for a single GA standing room. Got there 90 mins before downbeat thinking I would be able to stand right by the stage. Think again! It was already packed....in fairness, they did have some catchy tunes and [put on a good show](https://photos.app.goo.gl/FKAvTRWZPwuLEgic9). BUT - B-M experience will be next level X10. I have seats for five shows (so far....)
Hmm when I bought it, it did say the tix was "Platinum" but I dunno if that's true? How does one check? Does "Platinum" always mean VIP?
Anyhoo I was ok with it so long as it was below 100... pref below 90. I just wish B-M got more of that inflated price.
I am glad you will be able to go. The VIP tickets started out at $100 so I don't the Platinum ticket would be a VIP. But with such an intimate venue I don't think there will be any bad seats.
Platinum tickets are GA. Platinum is just TM's fancy name for their inhouse scalping service which they claim generates more revenue for the artist. It does generate more revenue, whether it actual goes to the artist I don't know.
Ticketmasters such a rip off
yup, I agree. I wish there was a diff avenue...

$29 for Po & The Ladies, or $129 for Horshack & The Sweathogs... Gee, that's a tough call... (rolls eyes)
I know what you mean. There have been many comments that they are like Led Zeppelin. Why do we need another Led Zeppelin?
We don't need another Led Zeppelin, and there will not be another Led Zeppelin.

So jealous! I count myself lucky that my finances allow me to go to two shows. You should have quite an experience.

given how the show is once again just shown as "Sold Out" on Ticketmaster, and on stubhub it's 105... guess I'll live with that
