July 16, 2015
(UPDATE 7/16/15) The joint bill of Primus & Dinosaur Jr is enough to make any alt-rock aficionado scream, and luckily those same flannel wearers won't have to pay a pretty penny to get their fuzz on and bounce with the bass of Les Claypool.
Looking at the secondary market, only one date carries an average ticket price above $100, July 25th at Blue Hills Bank Pavilion with an average ticket price of $104.05. On the opposite end, this Friday night at the Toyota Oakdale Theatre in Connecticut is the cheapest date of the tour with a $47 average ticket price and get-in of just $23.
