I saw Nate Barzgate was coming to the altria theater and I was interested in seeing him, but after clicking on seats one ticket is at least $100! That is unreal to see a comedian. Is it just altria? Or have all ticket prices gone up?
Nate Bargatze is funny but not 100 dollars funny. I saw Maria Bamford a couple months ago, I think it was 25 dollars, and she's one of the greats.
While I haven’t listened to enough Nate Bargatze to determine how much his tickets are worth for ME, he HAS been selling out big venues for the last year or so.

Ticket Master had gotten so out of hand that the justice department has started an investigation about 30 years too late.
Looked into Judas Priest tickets last year. $60 for lawn tickets. Was over $200 with all the fees. Saw them in 2019 in DC and think I paid like $30 total.
Every company has raised their prices in the name of “inflation”, not corporate greed.
Have you left your house lately?
I don't get why people think that corporations have all of a sudden started getting greedy for the first time. It makes no sense
News flash corporations were greedy last year 5 years before that and 10 years before that up until the beginning of time. Because people are greedy. Precisely none of this is new
It’s not new, but there has been a significant impact recently, and that’s what I’m talking about.
I can say as a very frequent concert goer, those don't seem to have changed too much. I don't see mega acts or anything, mostly jam bands, smaller DJs, etc. A lot of shows that were $10 or $15 a few years ago are $20 or $25 now, but still plenty of cheaper ones and that change was gradual as opposed to a more recent skyrocket in flight
I wait until close to showtime. We saw The Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney both for less than $100/ticket with all fees included. If you are jumping on these Presales you are paying too much.
I'll usually go to box offices around here for stuff to save on fees, but since my shows are almost never above $30 or $35, not too much shopping around. In the jam scene though people are very likely to unload for cheap or even give away or "miracle" a ticket.
For the recent Bill Strings show that sold out months ago, where tickets were $65, i got one miracled about 2 hours before show on CashorTrade and another for half off as we were walking in from our parking spot.
Make sure you are on the official Etix Altria ticket supplier. Lot of second hand sellers come up first on google searches
I don't even bother looking at the prices of tickets to concerts because I know I won't be able to afford them!😂😔
Those prices are hilarious
Recently I looked at the altria tickets for a bunch of different shows, because I really want to see a performance there, but everything is too expensive.
Are you sure you are trying to buy them directly through the venue? Maybe your are on a secondhand site by accident. Orchestra seats after service charges are $85, there are also 2 tiers of tickets cheaper.
A pack of ball park chicken hot dogs are over $4
