My original wanted date was Charlotte and when I joined the Ticketmaster general presale yesterday, there were about 6000+ estimated to be in front of me. It was slim pickings by the time I got in, and it seems pit sold out most likely during the fan presale.
I was very surprised that the Hershey date was an immediate log in with code, and was able to grab two pit tickets for $240 or so each. Not cheap by any means, but I was anticipating up to $300 given the current state of concert costs: my seats for AC/DC this year above the floor were $250, so pit for slightly less than that was a treat.
Two nights of Metallica (also right above floor, but I won Snake Pit for one of the nights which was one of the coolest experiences of my concert going career) was about $350, which I thought was a fair price all things considered.
I remember reading that the Pantera tour a few months back was about 70% or more empty at Hersheypark, genuinely wonder if that location is just not ideal for the locals or if it’s something else.
Anyways for Maiden- thankfully being in Orlando I have easy access to one of the major airports- only going to cost about $80-100 RT to get up there. Can’t wait.
