Debating both Dinosaur Jr / GBV (12/2) & Modest Mouse (12/15).

Going to Mark Normand (12/4).

Pretty slow December.

Got tickets for both They Might Be Giants shows in January though. Excited for that as they are my favorite live band and they are finally playing UT over the TLA.

I really want to see Modest Mouse but $200 is too much.

That's what they are going for now? Well that makes my decision easier. I was hoping for a GA.

EDIT: $180 from LiveNation direct? Fuck that noise. I love "The Lonesome Crowded West" enough I might look at Stubhub a few hours before, but otherwise I'll stay home for that. Was thinking more like $50 tops.

The days of $50 Modest Mouse shows are sadly long over, my friend. I remember seeing them play Mermaid Fest in 2005 for free. Different times

I thought we were over the expensive modest mouse ticket era and back to cheap tickets 🤣

Until they break up Live Nation/Ticketmaster, I don’t think cheap tickets will be a thing for premium bands, sadly

Blame the scalpers. The original price was about that b/c I got two tix back in Sept. for $118 total after fees.

That’s closer to what I paid to see them play August 2021

That alone was worth it, well done.

Sadly I won’t make it, as I’ll be on my Foals east coast run. MM can be hit or miss live so I’m hoping the gamble will be in my favor

Those are the resale prices. Still too much though. I think the base price (no fees) was 50
