Again: $75 for Manowar tickets[views:19100][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 10:12am - 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. |

| ________________________________ [Jul 10,2012 1:49pm - Mark_R ""] dreadkill said: If it wasn't so expensive i would have gone. Yup. 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. |

| ________________________________ [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. |

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. |

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. |

Yeah, not worth it. Ragnarokkr this year is looking pretty badass though. It's at Reggie's right in the city this year too. Mojoe's was a cool venue, but getting to Joliet was a pain in ass too, what with the money I spent on cabs. I'm playing the fest this year so I don't have to worry about a fest ticket. Still gotta pay for airfare and all that, but the way I see it, it's a small price to pay for getting to share the stage with bands like Oz, Omen, Exumer, and Shok Paris. You hitting it up again this year? Also, I agree that Virgin Steele was fucking stellar. The PA for the vocals I think was fucked up though. I was struggling to hear DeFeis at times. |
| __________________________________ [Nov 23,2012 6:39pm - chrisREX ""] I would love to see Virgin Steele. |

| ________________________________ [Nov 23,2012 9:09pm - KEVORD ""] They are loud as hell and sound amazing but are playing a lot of new songs. |
| ________________________________ [Nov 23,2012 9:36pm - KEVORD ""] And now they're playing all hits and it rules. |
| _________________________________ [Nov 23,2012 10:13pm - KEVORD ""] They played for two hours with no encore which was kind of lame. They didn't play heart of steel which pissed me off. Joey told the crowd that they brought their own PA and sound which is why it was so expensive. They were the best sounding band I've seen at the Palladium. There was probably around 300 people there it wasn't packed at all. They should have had an opening act because a show starting at 8 and ending at 10 is pretty lame. |
| __________________________________________ [Nov 23,2012 10:21pm - KEVORD‘S BALLS ""] Oh hai, Manowar. |
| _________________________________ [Nov 23,2012 10:24pm - Spence ""] Really? Only 300 people? O.o There must have been, what, a good 1200-1300 at the March show last year? Oh well, lame. Should've been a opener, a band like Gamma Ray or something would be an amazing band to open for Manowar and made the 100 bucks worth it in my opinion. |
| _________________________________ [Nov 23,2012 10:28pm - KEVORD ""] Thanks for the insight Spence. |
| _________________________________ [Nov 23,2012 10:29pm - Spence ""] Don't you agree though? A band like Gamma Ray or something would've been fucking phenomenal. I don't know why Manowar think people would pay so much to see them. |
| _________________________________ [Nov 23,2012 10:32pm - KEVORD ""] I do agree. They needed an opening act. When Immortal opened for them a few years ago it was awesome. They should have at least played a three song encore. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 23,2012 10:32pm - the_reverend ""] I highly doubt there were only 300 people there. If there were 300 people, the place would look like a ghost town. heck, 700 downstairs looks like no one is there. |
| _________________________________ [Nov 23,2012 10:36pm - KEVORD ""] It looked like no one was there. There is no Way there was even 500 people there. |
| _________________________________ [Nov 23,2012 11:13pm - Spence ""] Perhaps people were in the balcony? Because sometimes a few hundred people can be up there and be forgotten about. |
| _________________________________ [Nov 23,2012 11:20pm - KEVORD ""] There was no balcony. |

Eh, kind of glad I didn't spend the money. What did Joey rant about this time? |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 24,2012 3:26pm - goatcatalyst ""] Glad it was empty. Fuck off nowadays Manowar and your retarded ticket prices. NOT WELCOME! [img] |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 26,2012 11:26am - robotpie ""] I remember last time they came around, Joey gave a huge speech about Manowar merch, and the superior quality of Manowar merch compared to other bands merch, and how when people saw you in a Manowar shirt, they just knew you were smart for making good investments. As awesome as the show was, I kinda wanted to return my shirt after his merch speech. Wish I could have afforded to go see them again, none the less. |
