5 BB.Huge back up band..! Ticket prices.?

[Mr. Wilson]

Just wondering about the prices.?You got 5 BB, a ten piece back up band..probably a video tribute to Carl+ Dennis.. And mixing board guys nightmare.!. Reunion year probably means large halls..Plus concert promotion etc.The budget must be enormous.! Since no matter what the USA stock market says the economy here is NOT good. There is a huge payoff here but the pie is split so many ways.! I suspect there will be a tour sponsor and if the tour is a hit more dates will be added in USA..Any informed thoughts out there.?

Ticket prices in Germany (not many left, if at all) were between 40€ for bad seats and 100€ for front row seats. I got a 70€ ticket...

[sheknowsmetoowell]

There were two price ranges for the tickets I bought for Mohegan Sun. $55 or $75.

I wonder if Nelson will be inviting fans to give band members a spare bed/floor space again?

I got a € 54 one. Are you going to Berlin or Stutgart ? And do you have exact sales stats ? I'd be very interested in them 'cause I hear different things about the sales

[Mr. Wilson]

Tickets are 55 to 75 dollars OK that seem reasonable.. How large is Mohegan Sun arena/hall.?

[anazgnos]

The casino gig is probably not a good indicator of overall tour pricing.  $90-$125 range is probably in the ballpark, though I'm just guessing here.

Berlin. Where are you going?
No, no exact sales stats.. But judging from the ticketmaster website there's not that much left.

Berlin, Block 403 with a friend of mine. Another friend and his wife are there as well but have much better seats.
I just hope that this isn't just people buying the tickets so they can sell them afterwards for more.

Brian toured with a dozen or so musicians and even more crew members and charged quite reasonable prices. Of course, his organization isn't known for compensating band members outrageously well. It's a part-time gig even when he tours, and he sometimes skips a year (a member or two held day jobs through much of the 2000s). His tours also don't make much (if any) money in the U.S.

But with the Beach Boys, when you add in the bigger halls that the group will be able to play and a slight premium on ticket prices, I think they will be able to clear overhead and then some. And yes, I expect sponsors / TV special / DVD release will add to the payout. Money does make the world go round.

I would be shocked if it's that high. Would expect at least some seats in the $65-75 range.

Already happenend/happening. 

SEE YA in Berlin!

Maybe so.  I was thinking they might be bumped up closer to the Neil Young/Paul Simon tier, like "elder statesmen" prestige pricing with this tour.

It's possible! Depends on the demand. Part of me wonders if the fact that Mike and Bruce (as TBB) and Brian have toured so consistently over the last decade would make it less of an event. But we'll see.

I can't believe they are going to play casinos. That's Mike & Bruce territory ( and sometimes Brian) but the full band? Maybe its a "rehearsal" show. I guess we will find out tomorrow.

The Mohegan Sun Arena is a small arena...so it's not like a casino ballroom deal that other casinos have. I've seen many top acts there over the years including The Eagles,  Billy Joel, Springsteen, Bob Seger, The Who, Phil Collins, CSNY.

sounds like a neat place..thanks

Mohegan Sun holds @10,000 people.  I paid around $90 a ticket after all of the random surcharges.

[Andrew G. Doe]

Smallest venue announced thus far is the PA one - about 4000.

[Mr. Wilson]

Ah jeez.. BB Booked the Hollywood Bowl for June 2nd. Now this might be considered a prestigious gig but there are better places for them  to play.! One good thing is the very back seats are very cheap..! Were ill be if i go at all..I still cant believe all this is happening when im unemployed.!
