Whatever respect I had left for Dillinger Escape Plan is now completely gone

[br3ad_man]

First they release Ire Works, then they charge $75 for tickets.

[pixiesfanyo]

75$?

[team_racket]

Im not sure about the exact currency exchange rates, but thats pretty f'ucking expensive. They always have a front cover on kerrang magazine these days though so its not too much of a surprise. Who are they playing with?

[br3ad_man]

Was expecting 50 max. They're playing with Coliseum

[BuddyBigsby]

That doesn't sound right... they'd probably play for $15-$25USD here and the USD isn't far off from the AUD. Shows aren't normally that outrageous there are they?

I almost saw them for free last week at this fest but just left before them. I wonder if they're still nuts.

[br3ad_man]

They're usually way more expensive here, but $75 is totally ridiculous even for here. Like, Converge was $30, Isis/These Arms Are Snakes was $40.

And yeah, $20 US would be $21.50 AU.

[Neoteric]

Haha, when they came here they only charged £13.

But what the hell, do they expect anyone to pay $75?

[BuddyBigsby]

Probably because it costs a billion dollars to fly into Australia and then you gotta fly most places, not drive. Niggaz gotta eat.

[br3ad_man]

Meh. I mean, my friend just went to see Pennywise, Sum 41, Bowling For Soup and The Vandals at a way bigger venue for $60. **** bands, I know, but still.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

**** that

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Well I guess I won't be seeing Coliseum anytime soon. Don't give a **** about DEP.

[RetiredAt21]

**** Dep.

[santi3hg]

Thats ****ing insane

[Mr. Ron]

DEP has always been terrible

[Dave de Sylvia]

Could be worse man.

State can confirm that cover-stars Muse will play a date in Marlay Park on August 13th. Tickets go on sale 9am this Saturday, April 19th priced €70.70. Kasabian will support.
****ing Kasabian?

[DanD]

i'm pretty sure the band wasn't sitting around in a circle smoking weed and someone went

"dude, we should totally charge like $75 for tickets... we'll make like a gazillion dollarss"





i'm pretty sure that it's not up to them

[Let's Chop Cats!]

considering it costs like 2 grand to fly from USA to Aus per person, its sort of reasonable. but its enough to keep me from going. then there is getting merched printed/shipped, and shipping/renting equipment

[Dave de Sylvia]

But how are they going to make that money back by charging $75 a ticket? I'm no expert on Australia, but I'm guessing their DEP fans are the same as everywhere else, e.g. punk-oriented and used to going to cheapish shows. I imagine they could probably sell tickets for half that price and get at least twice as many people in.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

because odds are they won't ever be back to Australia before the band breaks up or whatever so I'd imagine most kids down here are starved for shows.

[Dave de Sylvia]

oh true

[santi3hg]

Their management worked it out if anything, they need to break even over there so oh well.

[BuddyBigsby]

I'm sure they have a huge guarantee, on top of that factor in the absurd costs of traveling to and around Australia and it makes sense I guess.

[br3ad_man]

It still doesn't really, when you consider that bands the size of Dillinger almost never charge this much. I know Isis aren't as big as Dillinger but when they came last year, they played the same venue and tickets were $40, AND they brought These Arms Are Snakes with them.

Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet For My Valentine and Atreyu are touring next month and I guess that they're more popular than DEP. Tickets to that are $65, and it's at far bigger venues.

However you look at it, the price is ridiculous.

[Gnarmageddon]

Dudefest tickets are $40. 30+ bands.

Lol

F'uck DEP. Coliseum is still good.

[DanD]

are you people stupid


the band does not set the ticket prices

[santi3hg]

Yeah I said the management you tard.

[Concubine]

lol $75

i guess i wont be seeing Coliseum anytime soon

[DanD]

Yeah I said the management you tard.

obviously I wasn't referring to you

[IgniteYourAvail]

are you people stupid


the band does not set the ticket prices

lol

[BuddyBigsby]

are you people stupid

thanks for the news bulletin shithead. their guarantee does play a big part in the price though.

[RunAmokRampant]

i was thinking 50 tops. Ouch. Still going tho been waiting for em to come back to aus for a few years now.

[br3ad_man]

Apparently Melbourne is sold out.

[Braindead]

I'm seeing Coliseum supporting Converge in July and I'm fairly certain that DEP are going to play this festival I'm going to. So yeah I'm seeing both :cool:.

[FreeSmells]

They're great live but $75 is waaaaaaaay too much.
I think the most I've paid to see them was $15.

[doki]

the price doesn't make any sense, I think its the same price as bad religion couple moths ago
I'll go to stiff little fingers instead, they still kick *** in my opinion

[BuddyBigsby]

So ten this begs the question for me... how much about did those Off Minor shows run? And do any of you know about how much any of those Have Heart shows are costing?

[Concubine]

Off Minor shows was $10 and $12

Have Heart show with Parkway Drive is about $30 i think

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Crime In Stereo w/ Against Me is $40. Don't know if I wanna go now.

[br3ad_man]

I read something about Crime in Stereo doing their own shows or something. I'd definitely go to that but I don't really want to go to Against Me.

[cbmartinez]

I'm not too big on Against Me! but they put on a great show

[santi3hg]

Yeah they are good live.

[RunAmokRampant]

Apparently Melbourne is sold out.

Where did u hear that? Tix only went on sale on the 14th. Ticketek hasnt mentioned anything.

[big80smullet]

:/ 75 is alot. minus the bear were 48 though :( gigs are expensive here. I cant see against me cause im working

[BuddyBigsby]

No wonder there's no core in Australia, jeez.

[Concubine]

we have hardcore shows here almost every week, just sayin'

[AFragileHope]

DEP is great and Ire Works is underrated IMO. I reckon they'll be awesome when I see them live. I know everyone loves Dimitri more than Greg but I think he does a standup job as vocalist. Ben Weinmann = sick as hell guitarist too. Plus, Gil is good, not as good as Pennie was but hey, when things change, bands also change.

I still have a lot of respect for DEP. They helped bring maths into metal, even though math metal is not a real genre imo.

[RunAmokRampant]

everybody knows math metal is a joke term. Like nintendo-core but some peeps take it seriously and it used to be funny but know just plain annoying

[AFragileHope]

Too right.

I hate it when scene kids come up to me, knowing I'm an Architects fan, and start harking on about mathematical metal, with time signatures devised by throwing dice.

[br3ad_man]

Someone on another forum said it had.

[AFragileHope]

I'm seeing them at Hellfest. I wish I'd seen them with BtBaM back a little while ago in England.

[big80smullet]

hahah this scene kid tried to tell me that they wrote a solo for some song by using some equation and integrating it and putting it into base 12 or some ****. i just loled at him cause there was no solo in that song.

[AFragileHope]

lmao

classic

HOLY **** DUDE.
If this works out for me, I'm going to buy you a hooker.

[BuddyBigsby]

If you seriously plan on going to Hellfest this year you're an idiot of unforseen proportions.

[RunAmokRampant]

Someone on another forum said it had.

Eh I got my ticket, they haven't sold all the tix yet.

DEP, Coliseum, and Five Star Prison Cell. Awesome.

[IgniteYourAvail]

If you seriously plan on going to Hellfest this year you're an idiot of unforseen proportions.

Pretty sure he meant getting his refund.

EDIT: Oh, you have to go to it to get your refund? hahaha sucks

[BuddyBigsby]

Ah, noted. It was funny when the myspace first went up and got slammed with comments asking where their refund is. They just deleted them all haha.

[DanD]

EDIT: Oh, you have to go to it to get your refund? hahaha sucks

no, there is no refund


your refund is that you get to go to the concert

[IgniteYourAvail]

lol

Ah, noted. It was funny when the myspace first went up and got slammed with comments asking where their refund is. They just deleted them all haha.Yeah they fuc‪ked up big time. Why anyone would pay that much to see a bunch of mostly shi‪tty bands is beyond me.
