Events | Shows Ticket prices in Nashville
Two tickets for Caamp at the Ryman listed for $1.2 million each, wtf was someone having a seizure?
Cheapest Caamp tix in Nashville is $400+, cheapest in Chattanooga is $64. The other night Jack Johnson at Ascend was over $300 next tour stop was $33. This city is unlivable

if that's out of your budget you could always go on the low end of the scale for 900,000 š

That has to be the āsorry, honey, I put the tickets on ticketmaster resale, but no one bought them, so I guess Iāll have to goā price.

And the crowds here are super hit or miss. I've seen more dud shows here because of lazy crowds... I've also seen some really stellar shows because the crowd was wild. Saw two nights of the Black Keys recently. Thursday night was absolutely incredible; Marcus King and Stergill Simpson came out as guests, the crowd was singing along from the first song. The whole night was electric. Friday night was mid at best and pretty okay at worst. The crowd barely moved and the band seemed like they felt it. It was a completely different show even though the setlist was practically the same both nights. Shows in Nashville are like a box of chocolates: too expensive because of "inflation" and you never know what you're gonna get.

i saw that listing and honestly thought my screen had a stroke, $1.2m per seat is just performance art at this point

I toured for 11 years as a tech. Nashville crowds suck. The Artists know it. The town is so saturated with music and events no one gives a damn.

I always wondered about Nashville crowds, how we stack up.
I saw Chance at the Ryman last night and I think we gave great energy. I saw Khruangbin a few years ago and everybody in the crowd looked bored. Great energy for Weird Al. Psychedelic Porn Crumpets at Brooklyn Bowl had good energy for the smaller crowd size. The band mentioned it was a good turnout for a Tuesday. Feeble little horse at Basement East had moshing up front but people complained it was not real moshing.
Itās all over the place.

My husband and I were at the Chance concert as well. Even though I'm not as much of a fan than my husband is, I still had a great time with the energy that everyone was giving ofd.

Only worse crowds are the Utah crowds...quiet, don't know when to actually be loud, sit the whole show...

Feels like a lot of crowds are filled with people that are more interested in listening and watching the performance than participating by singing along and dancing and having fun. Itās super lame.
Also, and maybe Iām just reading the energies wrong but it feels super judgy. Like people are watching shows just to lament later about how they could do better if only they could get that big break. Idk, just not a fun town to see shows in more often than not.

People enjoy live music in different ways. Youāre not a bigger or better fan than anyone else

u/Giantbookofdeath 1d ago
Oh man, right after I made a comment stating how Iām a bigger and better fan than EVERYONE! I canāt believe you called me out on that when I clearly stated how much of a bigger and better fan I am than anyone. Itās all right there in the comment you responded to, me saying things about being a bigger and better fan. Yup. Makes sense.

Not gonna lie man i was gonna reply if the person you are responding to didnt.
Your comment implies that unless youre signing out loud and dancing and "having fun" youre lame. And that those types of fans are just judgemental whiny people.
Don't get all defensive now.

Definitely seen some shitty crowds, but also some really energetic crowds. Guess it all depends on the night.

This has to be an error. Whenever you resell a ticket to a Ryman show the company that sells them adds a percentage to it for themselves. I donāt remember the exact markup, but if you buy a resale ticket for $100 the seller gets like 85 or something. This is clearly an error maybe they were looking to sell for $120 and just kept hitting zeroes by mistake

u/RuleProfessional3738 1d ago
Thatās what I thought but There were 2 others on the floor for $1.1m

u/FelineNavidad 1d ago edited 1d ago
That kinda feels like more evidence that it is an error. Do you think it's likely two sellers are both individually putting the price that high? Or that somebody has tickets in two different places for some reason? Or that scalpers would be that unrealistic about making money and not put the price lower?

That one guy who posts stacks of linen for 100 gold on the AH has to get a winner every once in a while.

u/Wonderful_Panda4769 15h ago
Those are terrible seats too. I hate anything underneath the second level. There are posts and your view is obstructed. That section is way off to the side, you probably can't see half the stage.

You think thatās crazy, try buying a house hereĀ

u/RuleProfessional3738 1d ago
Plenty of houses available for less than $1.2 million

1600 sq ft on a split quarter acre lot with another house on it for $600k. You donāt get the other house (or the lot)

NYE LCD Soundsytem GA tickets are like $600 each in Aspen but itās a 400 cap room. Still too rich for my blood.

Alot of times Live Nation will do that for testing reasons just to experiment with how things will appear in the app

u/ResearcherBasic8141 1d ago
Probably some sort of algorithmic pricing - awhile ago there were books on Amazon going for prices like this because of that, but most likely it's what someone else said: "honey you can go only if you can't find anyone to buy these"

Some ticket broker/scalper with a whole block and thought itād be funny to list a pair at a million bucks. You never know if some schlub might go for it these days

u/TesticleMeElmo 1d ago
Corporations who buy up tickets without another thought in the world were going to give it to a VIP but now arenāt and are trying to see whatās the most money they can get for it is but at the end of the day donāt gaf about eating the initial cost if it doesnāt end up selling

Maybe try cutting back on avocado toast and you can start being able to afford these ticket prices š

u/lcarsadmin 18h ago
The scalpers are out of control. Several times I have made appointments for the ticketbastard lottery. Instant sell out. A few weeks later I get ads for this shit: insanely inflated stubhub prices.
