    If you told me in the 90s that Kid Rock would somehow have become even more cringe, I would have needed a minute to adapt to the anachronism. But once I had I wouldn’t believe you.

    Those who wanted to nab front row tickets would have to pay a whopping $5,000 at every date on the tour, while second row tickets were priced at $4,000 a pop.

    The pattern continues for $3,000 for the third row, $2,000 for the fourth row, and $1,000 for the fifth row. No added benefits are apparently listed for purchasing tickets for the first five rows.

    He does know he’s catering to poor rural people right?

    His shows will have his 14 attendees sitting in row 6 I guess.

    I received an email from Ticketmaster when tickets for how local show went on sale, and I was just curious how well they were selling, so I logged in. There were still plenty left, but they were selling much better than I was expecting… but then I noticed the prices. $60 for lawn and $200-$500 for pavilion seating. But then I noticed the front 2 rows, $4k-$5k… and they were almost all sold out.

    This has to be a money laundering scheme, right? No one is actually paying that to see Kid Rock, right?

      Ticketmaster is a vile company. More than likely this is manufactured scarcity to drive ticket sales for a washed up has-been that no one cares about.

      They might have reserved most of them for promotional giveaway type shit. “Win $5000 Kid Rock tickets!”

      The only way I see this working is if there using the sticker price for another purpose. Those are like Olympic Finals ticket prices, not hillbilly rock in the middle of nowhere prices.

      You’d have to actually attend a concert to see if those seats actually fill. I’m not willing to subject myself to that punishment.
