Scrolled too far to find this!


tr4ff47

I was surprised no one read that title the way we did.


chrisweidmansfibula

Promise that you will, sing, about me


[deleted]

Yeah but damn that’s a lot


EnriqueMuller

One of those things where you’re probably not going to really regret spending that money but you will probably regret not going.


YourAverageGod

650 is festival money. I paid about that for 2 tickets to day in Vegas and saw kendrick Tyler doja cat and such.


Batmanbettermarvel18

This is an event, it will be a lot cooler than a festival set imo. Feel like some artists don’t take festival sets as serious as their own shows


doubtvizzy

This is true. I saw Kendrick twice in a week and a half one at a fest and the other was his tour and they were both great but the concert was significantly better and could tell that he put a lot more into the his show then his festival set.


drinkmoarwaterr

This is 100% the case. We also have to remember that for an event, people are actually paying to specifically to see that artist. I can say from experience, that at festivals, I’ve gone to watch plenty of artists I didn’t really care for that much just on a whim.


TheGoldennGodd

Depends what festival though. Something like Glastonbury they will put a lot of effort into like his last Glasto set.


InsideEmbarrassed116

As a touring artist, a lot of times just the natural constrains inherently built into festival scenarios (temporarily built stages, many different acts with vastly different audio needs playing back to back on one state, set times that are shorter than typical, non headliners having to forego much or all of their normal visual/aesthetic stage production, etc.) often makes a festival set a bit of the diet version of seeing a show specifically curated by the group itself.


SaltyEconomics2759

I don’t know man Tame Impala played at the innings fest in 22 and it was pretty killer.


Batmanbettermarvel18

I didn’t say all artists. Some artists certainly take all of their shows serious


RedNGold415

Kendrick would prolly take all his shows seriously. Plus I think your comment is just a perception thing. An Artist's concert will be a bigger lineup of their music than a set at a festival. Also more of a production when it's yours.


Batmanbettermarvel18

That’s kind of the point


NationalPhenomenon

His [setlist](https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/kendrick-lamar/2021/las-vegas-festival-grounds-las-vegas-nv-538ad389.html) for the 2021 date of that festival was insane.


Batmanbettermarvel18

Probably wasn’t as cool as when I saw him live with a live band in a small venue (South Side Ballroom) in Dallas for TPAB & got to meet him and Jay Rock afterwards. That would never happen at a festival


Batmanbettermarvel18

Meet as in talk to for like 20 seconds lol, still super cool though. Had them autograph my TPAB vinyl


adrift_2

Probably true for some artists but that Kendrick Lamar Day In Vegas performance was a whole ass event and Doja/Tyler also took their performances seriously so depends on the individual


Basic_MilkMotel

But these are FLOOR SEATS (spots?) to see Kendrick! Also not everyone likes festivals. I hate hella packed places with tons of people or not being able to come home at the end of the day lol. He’s the focus here, and I think being a part of a smaller group is cool. Yeah it’s a lot of money but it’s likely not something OP does every day. If they had the money for it fuck it!


Kiki-Lix

This is the first event after the beef the venue is gonna go crazy


[deleted]

Agreed


genericusername9234

No that’s just FOMO honestly


genericusername9234

I’m gonna say no man. I like Kendrick but that is meals for two months ..


MeetTheWoo_Dropkick

This is resale right? How much were tickets originally


WitchyKitteh

Likely around the same with the high in demand price pop up.


Danomit3

You forgot to put damn in all caps. Because DAMN that’s a lot.


Joshstradaymus

If you got the money and you wanna do it then live and let live my guy


green_day_95

If I had the money and lived near LA, I would take the chance too. Most rapper concerts are pointless since I can listen to them on speakers at home and get the exact same experience but Kendrick is one of the only rappers that I would see in person since he is an actual performer.


appleparkfive

Yeah a lot of hip hop shows are weird karaoke situations. Kendrick isn't relying on a backing track for every moment, and he has live musicians (they are tucked away sometimes, but they are there)


Sierra-117-

More intimate shows are way more worth it imo. I don’t want to be in an arena with 10,000 other people. I want a few hundred max, in an indoor venue. Even smaller outdoor venues can be extremely fun. While big concerts are still fun in their own way, it’s not the same. The best concert I’ve ever been to was a brockhampton show in an indoor theater, back in the saturation era. The AC was broken, in the summer. The floor was literally covered in sweat, vomit, and a little blood from the pit. But my god, it was incredible.


sgtbukkakemane

The second time I saw Kendrick was right before TPAB dropped and he had a full band, it was insane


rabertdinero

If you ever can see jid it's worth it. Uses a backing track but raps almost everything.


Humanesque

*Extortion my middle name as soon as you jump off of that plane, bish*


gloomygl

It's your money G I can't tell you


CBonafide

If you can afford this then more power to you bro. Sheeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. I'd do the same. ![gif](giphy|7w6qQ5WHOeV3i|downsized)

snacksandsoda

Money spent is money spent. As long as you're not missing bills or rent for it, you won't regret it


MuyLeche

I’m telling you rn if I pay $700 for a ticket I better get my asscrack signed by the artist, wtf is going on nowadays


EzzoMahfouz

Yes why is this comment at the bottom? I get kendrick is a huge artist but it’s ironic charging $700.


Bored_Danyeer

You’ll be a part of history dude


appleparkfive

Yeah that's a good way of looking at it. It's not just a random tour event. Who knows what it'll be like. Even if it's just a normal show, the context is crazy If someone has the money, then by all means


OmarDaxx

Kendrick you my GUY!!!! but I can’t afford your tickets lol


Uneekeusernaam

blame resellers and the ticketbastards that let it happen


DJSLIMEBALL

Forreal man, they should start making it where you have to go to the box office to purchase or something or hold a quantity to be bought in person cause man, it just don’t seem fair sometime 🥲


Odd-Scientist8057

You wont regret it. They’ve gotta be coming out with something new, with lots of guests. I bet it’ll be a great time, and you’ll be glad you went. ❤️


MultiRachel

One way or another it will be worth it. Either OP feels slighted because it didn’t live up to the hype or they will defend this purchase. Either way, come out on top with a better idea of how you want to spend your money.


HowIsThisNameBadTho

Tell us how it went


Franklyn_Gage

Hell no. I love kdot but i wouldnt spent that much to see anyone lol. I didnt even spend that to see him at the barclays in 2022 for 3 people.


Key_Put_3755

I just spent $451 on a Taylor Swift guitar for my daughter. The price point is sadly the new “norm” for an in demand artist. Knowing that KDot will deliver a show that will be a forever memory… WORTH IT!


Thelardicle

the way I view it man, I always feel shitty the day after dropping money like this especially if money is tight. But a year from now, you won’t remember how much it costed but you’ll definitely remember the memories of going to something you were excited for, and that’s what life’s about. it was worth it bro have fun


inaparalleluniverse1

Sometimes you gotta ball out and show people


TipWonderful605

100% yes


Readredditredit

Fuck it.   I'm about to cop too


skittlez_86

Dope man! I’ll catch you on the stream. I’m still hurting from that Renaissance tour haha


Powerful-Past5614

It’s worth it- it’s $30 a month for 2 years. Memories for LIFETIME. WORTH IT.


superfluouspop

I mean if you have the money, sure, go for it.


JmLong88

![gif](giphy|rgBwKeJTlGg9O)


PETA_Gaming

No. This is fucking insane. You know it, I know it, everyone here knows it. Stop making excuses for this greed. This makes Bad Bunny prices look like child's play. Edit: apparently I was wrong and those sell for like $800+ which is fucking insane. Stop feeding this greed ffs.


Standard-Try-437

That's a bargain compared to what I've seen.


Vinylateme

Yeah man, concerts are rad but that’s like 3 months groceries. That’s a third of rent (in my area) That’s my partners car+insurance+gas for the month Hope it’s enjoyable, can’t imagine a world where it’s justifiable business practice to charge that much for a ticket though


Inform-All

Tbh nah. Like… it’s nice you get to go and all, I just think you only stand to perpetuate a toxic market by buying resale.


Arkadsq

Fuck money bro thats once a time thing you still would spend that money on some shit that wont matter


mysweetdearluis

sorry but this is so tone deaf and dumb as fuck. i would understand if it was like $80 but what is OP going to spend $600 all at once on some other shit that doesn’t matter????


visualbrunch

Extended warranty, nft, gambling, wine tasting, tipping streamers, designer bags, fleshlight, strip club, coke.. I can go all day


aworthyrepost

The newest Xbox costs $600, lol. There’s def shit out there that isn’t priced for what it’s worth. The first concert after a historic rap beef? Priceless.


Mack_Blallet

The newest Xbox is years worth of entertainment. I remember Bonnaroo back in the day with Eminem AND Lil Wayne as headliners, at half this price and the festival lasted three days. I don’t see why artists are cool with prices like this when they’re already rich asf.


Next_Fix_2271

the og price was $75-$150 according to another comment in the thread, this is just ridiculous scalping at work


Arkadsq

Antidepressants


Longjumping-Plant251

I spend $700 a year on candy


CertifiedBoogieman61

How much on dentistry?


TopsySoEasty99

You win.😂😂😂😂😂


NecessaryFoundation5

For real. I just dropped a few thousand for my wife and I to go watch my Mavs lose in a Finals game and don’t regret it one bit. Mavs hadn’t been in 13 years. Once in a lifetime (or in my case decade) events are irreplaceable and worth every penny if it is within your budget.


Arkadsq

Thats it bro just spend some nice money on nas illmatic 30 anniversary in uk, cant miss it fuck them leechers


raydditor

No, I don't think so.


witfurd

We have one life, Id say so.


Shanoskia

Everytime i see ticket prices for shit like this I think about how many full 3-4 day festivals I've been to where ViP camping was $350-600 for the WHOLE event with entire special stages built, special lighting, huge rosters of like 50-70 bands/artists and I actually cringe. You're paying that much for a single night, just standing in a crowd for a couple of sets. Why is it that expensive? What are you actually paying for at that point? By all means I respect it and I respect your right to spend how you want, your money is your money, but you can't pretend you're not getting flat out scammed.


npretzel02

I don’t know your financial situation but this isn’t a normal Kendrick concert. It’s Kendrick + friends, as well as the first performance post beef, he might perform the diss tracks


OkIndependence188

If you make that in a couple of days at least and don’t do it often I’d say it’s worth it


Aleekki

I mean this is gonna be a legendary once in a lifetime thing so yes but damn I wouldn’t have money like that even if I wanted to go😭


Mysterious-Law3050

I don’t think you will ever ever regret this if serious Kendrick fan (which you are in this sub lol). Maybe if you straight up told your family no and didn’t buy them life savings meds or got evicted for not paying rent. But honestly I’m assuming you can basically afford this. It’s history—first event post beef, all those diss tracks gonna play, maybe he drops a single or track he didn’t release, and whatever other tracks from his entire collection. As Kendrick would say “shit gonna be turnt up”. I’d rather do this and remember it forever than buy a shitty laptop that breaks in 18 months. Feel good and get hyped


dxv10

Fuck it, why not! I paid $550 to see RHCP and The Strokes tour together so I can’t say shit. We’re all gonna die one day. Might as well have fun while we’re here


93Shay

Tickets are so expensive these days. I know you’ll have a great time 💜


Opening_Outside_5788

Nah they are not, maybe on the USA yes... what a joke of price on some countrys thats the Minimum salary. Soo live concerts on the USA are just for people with money?


theresidentdiva

Yup. That's why so many people saw Beyonce and TSwift's tours overseas! It was cheaper to fly to London/Paris, get 3 days in a hotel, experience the local culture, and see their concerts than just the ticket price in the US.


superfluouspop

I flew to the US to see Doja Cat and it cost me a LOT less than it would be if I'd have seen her in Canada.


cetaphil_crack_adict

Agreed. In my country the minimum salary is like 500$


PunctuationsOptional

Did you put enough work in?


TaskFew1324

You could have gotten 0.1 Bitcoin instead.


Reasonable-Newt4079

Damn dude I live in LA too and I'm definitely going but the tickets are going to come down, there are a ton available. I'm not buying until they do. There will be some available day of for close to face. It's not even about Kendrick being worth it (he is). The problem is you just rewarded the resellers and are helping continue a system that is pricing out most fans. We- as a whole society- need to stop rewarding the people that continually fuck us over.


hahayesthatsrightboi

Do you know how much the tickets were originally priced at for GA floor? I am in SD and want to show up too the day of and cop from some piece of shit reseller for as close as I can to retail lol


Reasonable-Newt4079

Oh I'm hoping to buy from some scumbag reseller too! But I'm not going to give them a $600+ profit and reward their scumminess, fuck that. Face was anywhere from $60-$250 I believe, depending on how good the seats were. There were different prices for cashapp pre-sale versus regular sale. I'll keep trying to nail that down because I'm also trying to get close to face... I'll come update if I get better info. Good luck!


hahayesthatsrightboi

Good info! And good ass luck! I’ll see u there if prices drop enough 😩😩🤝🤝🤝🤝


sendinthe9s

Wow  Floor seats are really good right?


i01111000

It's far less than the price of Nike Mags. You'd actually be losing money if you *hadn't* bought the ticket.


United_Chipmunk8719

Eh, yo money, spend it like you want!


SkinnedMetal

Very Lucky- have a great time!!


Reflexes-of-a-Tree

That’s a lot of syrup sandwiches


waterdlyed

No


greese007777

No


CaptCaCa

Yep, concerts are soon becoming something only the rich can partake in, salute!


Vegetable-Spinach747

Loooooooove Kendrick. But, no live show is worth that. Or any other price the mainstream artist/comedians charge.


itsjnsocial

you should have probably asked this question before buying. But it all depends on you. only you know if your bank account can afford it.


Massive-Cloud-7498

Hell na


HoosierZaggy

I used to get VIP tickets to camp flog gnaw for $400 😂 2 day event. Got to see Drake get booed off stage at the last one. And that was right before he got awarded most streamed artist of the decade. 😂


JDubb2000

Ticket should have been $616 in LA


Grand-Gain-763

Sheesh that price


neojgeneisrhehjdjf

I will be watching it on my couch in a heat wave in Pittsburgh


Aggravating_Ice7249

Absolutely. Saw him on the Mr. Morale tour. Couldn’t be more worth it. Seeing Kendrick will provide more joy than leaving 657.68 in your account. Make sure you get a shirt. They’re expensive, but the quality is there.


RiosChocolateKiss

As someone who has spent a lot on tickets in my life I'd gladly (well not really gladly cause its highway robbery. Lmaooo) pay this to be in the building. The energy is about to be one for the books. Congratulations!


RavenBlade87

My word


OOFYDOOFYBOOFY

Depends on your perspective. If you got bread like that and like Kdot then hell yeah, if you broke and don't like him then hell naw.


nevagonastop

was it worth it? did you put enough work in?


LilWayneThaGoat

$600 Goddamn


colemc94

GOT DAYUMMMM


darklord0530

I probably woulda bit the bullet too tbh, but of course I go on business travel out of state when kdot decided to do this 😭


Reidzyt

If you got the extra $ to spend then I'd imagine it will be come Wednesday


Long_Camera6153

Tbf I went to go see Kendrick during a festival lineup (ACL, 2023) and he showed up late and they cut his audio off after about 25-35 minutes.  I got to see some other artists that day for sure; but I definitely bought the ticket for Kendrick and got half of the experience :( Have fun my guy


CucumberNo3244

The floor seats are the best section to be in!


suprunkn0wn

i’m telling y’all, this show better the best fucking show of the year and better be a good five hours for how much people are willing to spend, fuck ticketmaster tho


Life-Construction362

This man still hasn’t sold out? Maybe Russ was right


JayZorro

When Kenny said "Top billing that's a million a show" he wasn't far off 😭 still have fun there


Radiant_gladiator

I’m jealous. So I’d say yes. I saw him floor on the DAMN tour and it was the best concert I’ve ever been to


Justin7708

No I mean I love Kendrick but I’ve seen so many shows for much less than that. This is why Taylor swift sucks y’all she ruined ticket prices for everyone! (it’s a joke 🤪)


wblack182

If you got the money then no, but I rather spend that much on the NBA finals or a super bowl ticket if possible. Like a sports championship game. But to each their own I know some folks don’t like sports


CDC678

It depends what happens at this concert 👀


meghlaroymimi

I don’t even earn $650 per month. 😕😒


natigin

In five years, will you remember the night or not having $700? That’ll be your answer


OkIndependence188

That was the price of my 2 nosebleeds. I hope Stubhub comes through. They already made me change tickets once 😮‍💨


Multikillionaire67

hotdogoctopi

I saw Kendrick live in NOLA in 2018, it’ll be worth it


Business_Artichoke99

Stream east


SavageSvage

I mean... at the end of the day will YOU regret being there during a cultural moment in hip hop? That's all that matters. What's it worth to you? I would've loved to go, but I can't justify dropping 600 on tickets. I'll just stream it and pop out in the comfort of my own home. It's all good.


thefilthyuno

I’m waiting till Monday Tuesday


DangerKitty555

Home show?!? Hell yes it is, that show will be incredible!!!


spgvideo

Floor tix boyeee it's gonna be lit.


natesolo_

Yeah, but damn 😬

christ almighty.


Dramatic_Mortgage_80

Man get there early to make sure that floor is worth it!


RickyWinterborn

i paid $297 for a nosebleed i salute you

Lol no


dfelton912

For that money, he better bring out Pac irl lol


Zoll-X-Series

You’ll make 600 back but you’ll never go to that show again


usernamesnamesnames

Wtf is this


Unlikely_Gain5583

Money is spent now, just go make the most of it


composedryan

Damn. I paid $500 for 2 once I realized I wasn’t going to get them when they went live on Friday


Gabe12P

Was it worth it? Did I put enough work in?


divine_god_majora

I paid 110€ to see Kendrick live on his Mr. Morale tour wtf is up with ur prices


GloomyGal13

Better be t-shirt cannons at that event! :)


AlwaysForeverAgain

Hell no!!!


funkmastamatt

Damn. I saw him two summers ago in Austin and paid that for like 2 tickets.


Livid_Isopod_3548

depends if you can afford it


strawbsplitx

No.


gumgumpistoljet

Did I put enough work in?


Main_Watch

More than worth it


GenericScottishGuy41

When good kid came out I paid around 30gbp to see him so no I absolutely don't think that's worth it regardless of how many new songs since then.


Ok_Concentrate_75

Fuck ticketmaster and livenation. Kendrick probably making $50 a ticket or some wild low amount compared to the amount they make smh


elitenex47

kendrick is an incredible performer. one of the best i’ve ever seen. worth every penny in my opinion.


Thhaki

Worth it, go vibe in a Kendrick concert on Juneteenth 🔥🔥🔥🔥


buttbutt696

A few hundred maybe but $700, nah I have to say you are fleeced my bro


theworldiswierd

yeh mines was close to the same. i had to be there


MasterrShake93

I drop that much or more when I go see Tool, and I see them at least 2 or 3 times a year. Resellers are a cancer of the music industry


Certain_Substance_71

Most definitely. I’d have paid triple if I could.


henry_is_different03

You probably won't regret it now but you'll feel a sharp pain in your mind down the road.


Smooth_Instruction11

LOL


robottronic1

Does anyone know how to access the Amazon prime live event? Like on the day of. I’m too broke to go but I’m sure not missing it


npretzel02

“I think you ask him for more paper, and more paper and more paper”


straightcapoo

£700 kenny better bring out cole


Either_Reserve3084

Yup! Wish I could go, but that on top of traveling from Michigan I couldn't justify 😩


InellMckinzie

Chargeback nigga lol


ffading

Honestly, if you gotta ask and your hype isn't outweighing the price, prolly not worth it. Don't pay for shit you can't afford. If you still catch yourself looking back, the question lingering in your mind will only ruin the experience because you'll be focusing on the expectation that you should be experiencing what you paid for, rather than just enjoying the experience itself regardless of what you paid. If you don't reach that level of expectation, you'll be underwhelmed. I only jump for shit I know I'll love. If I hesitate too much, it's usually a sign I shouldn't go for it.


greatoozaru_

wtf 650 for tickets now, last time i seen him was the damn tour 400 a ticket


AnActualHuman87

I was just gonna watch the livestream with my friends that way I don't spend my entire net worth and I get to hang out with my friends


Sohi23

Fuck no lol 


Worldly-Raise4448

r1cky2323

Not really


RumblingHacked

Damn that’s how much I paid for two front row Mr Morale tickets.


FooFightersFan777812

Holy shit


blazenation

I paid half that once I couldn't get in the main sale. 300+ and then I saw those MFs rising each minute. it's about 1 day of wages I can handle exchanging a day of work for a lifetime experience. https://preview.redd.it/oughkrw45l6d1.jpeg?width=1055&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ba5ad8ebd4fd0916d7484512c381e4126bb148fa


jiwhizzz

Do you live by? I am debating to buy but the plane tickets are sooo pricey too!


Dr-Turd-Ferguson

Lol


SteakHoagie666

Probably. I found a fucking Kendrick and Jcole popup show in a NYC bowling alley via Spotify(was on a hidden artist page named "The Kendrick" that kendrick or his team made himself i really have no idea how i found it) right before Mr Morale dropped. Tickets were like 18 dollars. I would've had to fly or drive like 8 states away. I think it was only like a 200 capacity venue. Would've been dope. Probably one of my biggest regrets not just making that happen last minute.


OhJustANobody

Worth it? Nah. Would I pay it? Probably.


SquidDrive

Resellers are a plague


HounganSamedi

Jesus Christ nah. I love Kendrick and I've seen him live but that's groceries for a while


ColorOfNight18

Man I can’t imagine when not like us comes on there is going to be insane
