After a 14 years hiatus, 80’s indie rock bank Neutral Milk hotel is back touring the United States. The band currently has 29 dates left in the US with tickets currently on sale, although many are already sold out on the primary market. That means, Neutral Milk Hotel tour tickets must be hot on the resale market, right? Playing at smaller venues, limits the market to only a few hundred at most for any show, but that hasn’t driven price up in all the markets. At The Pageant in St. Louis and Uptown Theatre in Kansas City there are tickets starting under $50. On the other hand at the Tower Theatre in Pennsylvania, the current get in price is $156, which is 280% higher than the face value of $41. Neutral Milk Hotel will also be playing at Coachella this year.
Touring for over 30 years, Hall and Oates are still at it, recording songs and playing shows across the country. With six #1 hits over the course of their time together, Hall and Oates in widely known amongst both young and old. There are currently seven events with Hall and Oates tour tickets available on the resale market, with fairly limited inventory for each show. The limited inventory can be attributed to both venue size and the fact that a lot of tickets are still available on the primary market. It’s safe to say, that Hall and Oates popularity isn’t completely dead, but you also won’t be fighting with other fans over tickets as there is plenty of supply to go around.
British indie rock band, the Artctic Monkeys are less than a month away from getting their 2014 tour under way on the East Coast and Midwest of the United States. Arctic Monkeys tour tickets are currently a hot commodity on the resale market as many of the shows are currently sold out via the box office. The average ticket price on the resale market for their tour is currently $148.87, which is quite high considering face price for almost all the tickets on this tour are under $50. Arctic Monkey fans should be checking resale websites, like TicketIQ, to hopefully land a great price.
Electronic musician, Skrillex is just about a month away from playing a bunch of shows in the San Francisco and New York City area for his loyal fans. Question is, which coast is the most loyal in terms of what ticket sellers are asking for tickets on the resale market. The answer is New York. Skrillex tour tickets for his shows in New York currently have a resale ask price of $154.08, which is 47.59% higher than the asking price out in San Francisco of $104.40. So with a weaker resale market in California, fans out there can possibly bid their time a bit as they look for tickets, but for fans in New York, you might want to keep an eye out for any good deals as tickets are limited on secondary sites.
