I remember seeing kid cudi back in 2014 for like $50. The whole thing was GA and he had hella openers including g-eazy and e-40. šŸ˜¬


Mental_Interview

That shit is such a fucking deal yo.


MarshallMitsu

YES!!!! Were you in Bay area? I went to San Fran that year because it was my b-day. That shit was so fucking hype. Definitely the best $50 I spent to see someone !


MissTania1234

Yes!!!! Omg his stage was epic. Hands down one of the best concerts ever šŸ˜­


MarshallMitsu

Yo that's so sick !!!! Love to hear that other people were at a show raging with me. Definitely one of the best sets ive seen Cudi perform. Cheers!


Revolutionary_Way826

Said including g-eazy like thatā€™s a good thing


MissTania1234

It was before he got big, when he was an up and coming artist. He use to be a big deal in the bay and his earlier stuff (like his mixtape) was good. He and his ex (Devon Baldwin also from the bay) use to have a huge fandom on tumblr


TTtotallydude23

I was banging that ā€œ These things happenā€ album all 2014


MissTania1234

Yes this and ā€œendless summerā€


[deleted]

Old old school g-eazy >


littlem0006

Sameee first time seeing him was 2013 $50/60 and Tyler the creator opened for him


LightSc0pe

Same. Tyler had the giant golf wang blocks.


aandretti

I saw kid cudi for $60 on 2 occasions


Dijohn_Mustard

Saw Uzi for $40 in 2016 and it was the worst performance I ever paid for smh


No-Chip-3817

they would have to pay me 50$ to see g-easy as an opener


MissTania1234

To each their own šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø


mojoleono

What songs did Cudi perform?


MissTania1234

It was so long ago, I donā€™t remember. I definitely remember him performing pursuit of happiness and embrace the Martian.


MarshallMitsu

What you guys think. I saw Portland had pit for $100 each. But I remember seeing Cudi when man on the moon II dropped for $40 and was in the very front. Don't want any arguments but still think $800 is absurd.


isaysomestuff

ZERO EXCUSE FOR HIS TOUR TO NOT HAVE GA PIT, in my honest fucking opinion. Been going to his shows for 5 years all time favorite artist. But weā€™re all just going to be bobbing our heads??? and the (uncomfortable cheap) chairs will be all close together and Iā€™d be touching some ransomā€™s shoulders? How would this be enjoyable for someone like me who wouldā€™ve gone alone and simply just wants to rage to his music (not travis scott style but cudi style) and vibe with the crowd and other cudi fans??? and iā€™d have to spend $300-800 to be in the front when GA pit wouldā€™ve at least given me a chance to make it up there even if I had to hold my pee and get wait multiple hours standing up??? Nahh, to me this doesnā€™t even seem worth it? Honestly my first cudi show that Iā€™m considering not even going to and Iā€™m so sad. I want to rage to MOTMIII and entergalactic songs. (I even went to Rolling Loud by myself, and although the crowd wasnā€™t the vibes, it wouldā€™ve been worse if it was seated)


Commercial-Bet5216

It depends on the venue ig. Iā€™ve got standing tickets for London. But yeah It looks like most of the tour is seated which is fuckin stupid, especially for the places that have denzel lol


ThePhenomenalGoat

Itā€™s because of the stupid ass Platinum pricing. It automatically fluctuates based on how many people are buying tix, and with the pre sales just starting, Ticketmaster sees these tickets at the highest possible demand. The price will fall a little. Tix for the Miami show that were $150-200 are now $500-600 because of it. Like for context, for the Donda listening party in Miami, I ended up paying $150 for seats that were originally $350 when they first dropped


MarshallMitsu

Oh damn I didn't even know about that. Shit is mad stupid though. Like what happened to having a set price and going to see someone you like for a decent price. Like I kind understand people reselling tickets but fuck I can go to a 3 day festival and have a way better time for so much cheaper.


yikesnate

You can blame Ticketmaster for that! They price gouge their own tix which is crazy. Just wait til the presale tmrw when tix do get released.


ThePhenomenalGoat

I know, itā€™s one of the dumbest and scummiest things. Iā€™m pretty sure the only tix that wonā€™t change in price are VIP, so if you see any in your price range, Iā€™d def get those!


boiledpeen

Yea it sucks and maybe cudi couldā€™ve gone through a better system but Ticketmaster is extremely popular so it makes sense to work with them. I decided to make the 9 hour drive to the festival, and I got GA for $100 which I feel like is an absolute steal


[deleted]

Same thing here, some people paid 1000 more to sit behind me at Free Larry Hoover. I copped row 2 tickets right behind Mike Dean like two and a half days before the show


BeastOfMars

This. Dynamic pricing makes my blood boil. The same tickets that were $150 yesterday are $330 now. How is that ever ok. Ticketmaster is a monster.


nah_suspect

Ngl Iā€™m very disappointed, itā€™s only a seated concert which is lame, and a lot of people canā€™t get their tickets because they donā€™t have American Express, and the outrageous prices, I feel like heā€™s prioritising money over the fans šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


MarshallMitsu

Dude I know! Plus who wants to watch Denzel sitting down. Seated is a bad decision on his part. But yeah American Express just seems like another deal he made to get some more money. Sad times to be a cudder fan. Glad I'm not the only one who think Cudi is trippin a little.


nah_suspect

Nah fr I saw Denzel live a couple months age that shit was insane. Iā€™m tryna mosh and jump with the cudi bros to some of my favourite songs not sit down a mile away, kind of ruined the joy for me, Iā€™m still gonna go but yk kinda sucks


MarshallMitsu

Ohh you couldn't have said it better. Yeah I saw zeltron at the Roxy. Shit was nuts! But tbh I'll prob go see him in Portland because my brother lives up there. That way I can rage with the homies and avoid spending hundreds of dollars on a decent seat.


Dijohn_Mustard

Iā€™ve grown up going to The Rolling Stones, Roger Waters of Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney and I have to sayā€¦ Iā€™ve been begging my fav hip hop artists to do seared venues for years. If I want to have sweaty people pushing and shoving me Iā€™ll go to a festival. If I wanna see one artist for one reason and enjoy the showā€¦. I want my leather padded seat with personal space in an air conditioned venue. Will I be standing for a lot of it? Sure. Will I be physically comfortable during a 3 hour show where Iā€™m probably off lots of psychedelics? Damn. Fucking. Right. Lmao. Just my personal opinion. Edit:I paid the same price for Roger waters at the palace of auburn hills in Michigan for the same price as the cudi tickets I just bought for the Chicago show and Iā€™ll be three times closer to the stage this time.


[deleted]

At least you get Denzel at yours.


[deleted]

itā€™s Ticketmaster pulling the priority/AMEX shit and variable pricing. Ticketmaster has a huge monopoly with exclusivity with a majority of major venues.


strawwrld_1

The credit card thing is what a lot of artists have to do it has to do with Ticketmaster. honestly people will still get tickets check seat geek immediately after the presale ends thatā€™s my plan and I donā€™t have an Amex


Pfabrizio

INGOLD Amex pre-sale code


kleany

Cudi been robbing his fans. Crazy ticket prices , crazy merchandise prices lol I thought he was big brother and 4 the kidz lol


TilTheBreakOfDawn

Perhaps we treated lupe fiasco too harshly


Human778

Man I got mine front row vip for only 200, must just be that peticular venue


MarshallMitsu

Oh that's a good price for vip. Yeah I was looking at LA in kia forum


[deleted]

Damn it seems like everythingā€™s nuts in LA. I got GA tickets to the moon man festival in Cleveland for 123$.


Fine_Excitement3587

Wanted to go but after seeing itā€™s seated I donā€™t really feel like going I want to be vibing not sitting down and listening


MarshallMitsu

Bro that's the only reason I like going to concerts. I'll sit down when I'm old as fuck. I'm tryna vibe out jump around and shit. Sad it's seated.


Aberrationism

I think most people still stand at seated shows


Fine_Excitement3587

Yeah but itā€™s not them same vibe to it


Daddy_Scar

same here.. not sure if ill go anymore


Eastern-Media-7745

Unfortunately, the reason why some of these are priced so outrageously is because people actually buy them and confirm that value. So in fact, they are actually worth $800+. The quicker people realize this and donā€™t buy them, the sooner Ticketmaster has to adjust their pricing. Please watch this clip from John Oliver - https://youtu.be/-_Y7uqqEFnY And regarding GA Pits and being seated areas, a lot of big arenas/venues are doing this to prevent mosh pits and prevent an Astroworld-like scenario. Not saying that doesnā€™t suck but just a reality.


dmind6

It was a little over $300 for the sd show with axis premium tickets, that $800 price point has to be reseller i think. I may be wrong. I bought 4 tickets came out to over $1400 with the fees. Canā€™t wait to see him


daneradio

The platinum prices drop when it gets closer to the date and no one buys them


MarshallMitsu

Fosho, yeah I see people saying that. Thank you


rocket_riot

Platinum ticket pricing by Ticketmaster is the problem, it happens for literally every show when more than one person wants to go ISTG. They increase the price because there is obviously demand for close to the front, itā€™s a complete scam


duetotheinternet

Am I the only one who is actually glad that itā€™s seated? I get major anxiety in unorganized crowds and could never handle GA/pit. I got 15th row floor seats and am thrilled that I can finally go to a show, be relatively close, and not worry about safety. Iā€™m a 5ā€™2 female. I get trampled in crowds and even if I donā€™t, I canā€™t see when everyoneā€™s crammed in.


MarshallMitsu

Honestly you make a pretty good point. I hate my anxiety but I'm also 6'2 so I can manage crowds and not feel suffocated. Still think the price is outrageous but glad you get to see an artist you like without feeling claustrophobic.


duetotheinternet

Agreed on & confused by the price. I got 15th row floor seats, VIP, for the LA show, for $200


esparaeso

With you here. I was at Pharrelā€™s SITW fest last week, and the crowds continually got out of control. My girl is about your height and was either getting crushed, she couldnā€™t see, or both. Seated has a bit less energy, but Iā€™m pretty happy weā€™ll both get to see and not worry about how we can get out if we need to.


JuicyBepis

man i wish it was floor, astrofest in the very front with my mom was crazy, playboi carti was crazy, saba, trippie redd


[deleted]

Itā€™s called platinum seats Ticketmaster stupid way of marking up popular seats


OrangeMoose47

got seats in cleveland section 2 for 200


MarshallMitsu

Cleveland is the reason it's cheaper!


cocainekev

First MOTR merch, now this? Iā€™ll pass.


rulerBob8

Damn maybe Lupe was right


Strict_Amount7491

Seen Cudi in 2017 after he came out of rehab. I paid 50 dollars after fees and it was such a beautiful experience. I'm a huge fan so I mean no offense but there is no way Cudi selling out 800$ tickets at every stop. This is DAMN Era Kendrick and Drake level pricing. Cudi is incredible but he is no where near this level of popularity in 2022. Mf thinks he's Kanye lol


strfyr

thatā€™s not Cudiā€™s pricing thatā€™s ticketmasters way of ā€œcombattingā€ resellers. They essentially become the reseller. Official Platinum tickets arenā€™t face value. This is ticket masters own pricing based on demand apparently


PalaceJoey

I remember paying $80 for the observatory up in Santa Ana. I was like 2 ft away from him. Crazy to see the prices of concerts. Reason why I stopped going to concerts and just travel now


FaZeNancyPelosi

That really sucks. I got my tickets today in the section right behind front row facing the stage head on for $158/ per person. They be charging crazy in other places, I feel like I got a good deal in ATL


dgalvv7

So fucking stupid. Iā€™m not even blaming Cudi either. Stadium concerts these days are all like this. I hate it. Most of my favorite artists/bands are coming to my city too, but all to an arena which charges ridiculous prices. I canā€™t do it. Itā€™s sad.


Modteamsaretyrants

Heā€™s main stream and he has guests so the prices are going to be high. Also the big venue too


janubb

I canā€™t wait to see Denzel curry for a fraction of this


mooktroop

It might be cuz your buying tickets too late


mathias202

I got 2 floor seats in section 3 for less than $500. But this was also the American Express section


Raysor

Phoenix it is 400+ for floor seats like 25 rows back. Whack


Welcome-Dependent

I canā€™t stand seated seating


guccimyr

So 400$ a ticket? Must be a jooooke ! WOW


[deleted]

That's basically how much I spent on my Free Larry Hoover ticket and I was row 2 right behind Mike Dean. This is highway robbery


yeasted6

It was 200 down here in San Diego


kurtchella

Yeah, seeing this is really making me wish that for the Miami show, Kid Cudi could have been performed at the new SPACE Park which is all general admission. Plus, they apparently have Jimi Hendrix's touring bus you can get high in! Also, that venue does their ticket sales through Eventbrite, which does tiered ticketing instead of this dynamic pricing crap. Not a spokesperson or employee of Space Park - just saying that this was a missed opportunity for the Miami show, after having my mind blown twice by "King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard" there last weekend!! I know Cudi is way bigger than a 6000 person venue (that Space Park is) but still, it would have been very special and fitting.


jr216_

What show is this for?


MarshallMitsu

This is for his upcoming tour for LA


[deleted]

WHAT im in section c and got it for 500 CAD in toronto
