LCD Soundsystem adding concerts at Manhattan’s Terminal 5

admin — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 18:38:42 +0000

Four more shows have been added toManhattan’s Terminal 5 for LCD Soundsystem to get more fans a chance to see the band’s final performances and hopefully drive down the price on the secondary market for the final Madison Square Garden concert tickets. The band is not happy with the resell market for the ticket prices being charged for LCD Soundsystem at MSG.

It only makes sense for the band to increase the number of concerts both for the fans and for themselves if they can sell more tickets. The Madison Square Garden concert will be the final concert for LCD Soundsystem as they call it a career. Tickets for the LCD Soundsystem concerts at Manhattan’s Terminal 5 running from March 28 through the 31st will go on sale later this week.

Lady Gaga Wachovia Center Show Added

Lady Gaga has added another date to her Monster Ball tour with another date at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia for Wednesday September 15. The Lady Gaga tour has added extra concerts in many of her stops on the tour including TD Banknorth, Madison Square Garden and the HP Pavilion in San Jose.

She’s come a long way since November when she was charging $55 per ticket and playing small venues like the Bill Graham Civic in San Francisco, which seats about 3200. Now at $175 a pop and 17,000 seat venues, sold out 6 months in advance, Lady Gaga should be rolling in the $$.

But she’s being managed by Frontline Management and they take their toll on the artist $$ for putting them into those 17,000 seat venues at $175 a pop. But you have to wonder how long Lady Gaga can sustain that revenue stream from concert ticket sales. I mean, just how many times can a fan afford to go to a $175 per seat concert.

Lady Gaga has to hope you can do it at least once every two years. Because that’s what most artist may have to do to keep up the lifestyle and pay the corporate stiffs that run the machine. And for how many years will you pay more and more to see Lady Gaga live in concert? Maybe she’s just taking it while she can, and running all the way to the bank.

Lady Gaga tickets are on sale now with no hidden fees or service charges. If you have to pay big bucks for a Lady Gaga concert ticket, you might as well save a few and buy them from the best place to buy Lady Gaga tickets.
