OK, ticket prices for the latest show seem high…
Lucinda Williams with special guest Robert Earl Keen August 18, 2010 7:30 pm Concert tickets go on sale April 26th at 10am
Tickets for Lucinda Williams with special guest Robert Earl Keen$69.50/45/39.50/35 And then add
A standard $15 Ticket Service Fee will apply to each ticket.
Wow, that’s potentially a $84.50 ticket to see LWs with cheapies being $50… I wonder who will be in her band this time around to justify that expense? Elvis Costello and the Sugarcanes w/no opener clocked in at $62 including all TicketMaster charges with Jerry Douglas and Jim Lauderdale on the bill. It will be interesting to see how this tour unfolds.

+ a standard parking service fee of $20. or $15.(carpool) to park in a remote field applies as stoger reported.
This will bring the “cheapies” price up to $70, which amounts to a hefty 100% mark-up of $35. on a $35. base ticket price.
Makes Ticketmaster looking like a bargain.
+, Heaven forbid, they cut off the power during Lu’s encore on the strictly imposed 10:30 p.m. curfew.lwj
Agreed – seems high to me as well given past history. Hopefully, this is simply a “one off” due to the “uniqueness” of the venue as opposed to a trend. Time will tell…
Tom
last year at the Brownfield, Maine show they were pretty high- but it was a small venue and the rest of tour was reasonably priced.
Not to dispute that the Mountain Winery is an expensive venue, but have you examined the prices for Neil Young performing solo? for example, Austin: $59.50, $99.50, $199.50, $249.50; Atlanta: $90.45, $112.05, $145.15, $250.65. Perhaps, the recession is over…for concert promoters…
Yes, Paul, I’ve examined them from a Southern/Eastern perspective too–and three-figure prices reign for both Nashville Ryman and Atlanta Fox. Not even the prospect of encountering former Lu audio whiz Mark Humphries around Neil’s sound board will be enough to get me out for Mr. Young solo acoustic, I’m afraid. As for Winery and No Depression fest, yessir.

Look at these eBay “bargain” ticket prices for the Mountain Winery.
Scalpers are alive and well.
