Even back then people were complaining over ticket prices.
The reality was, most concerts were a bargain and usually had more than one headliner group.
Gas was cheap and you could follow groups from town to town if you had time and money.
We must be thankful that most Tull shows are reasonably priced.
If I see 1 show per year, I'm happy. More than 1 would be ecstasy ! ;D (not the drug) Tull tickets are definitely cheaper than most bands from that era. One artists I really have to take my hat off to is Dickey Betts, a few years ago he played at the local theater for 20 dollars a ticket, less than most of the acts there (who are a lot less popular). Well I'm not sure exactly what you mean about Tull keeping their ticket prices cheep....they were always in keeping with most others of the times, the 71 ticket Jim posted was a floor seat in Peoria for 4.50. In LA they were 5.50, the following year 6.50, then 7.50 on up to around 10 bucks in 1980. My ticket for Ian's solo show in 2011 was 99.00. This year it was 85.00. So by my calculation, adjusting for inflation and such that comes out to be just about ...........a fucking lot of money.  Darin |

Would I go to see them now for $99.00 a ticket? In a heartbeat!
When you compare the shows of today to what other bands charge, I feel good about it.
I remember how cheap gas was and I can't travel as far now to see them.
Fortunately this tour is right around the corner for me to camp out the day tickets were onsale.
One show I never saw was Pink Floyd.
As much as I love them it was too much for a $95.00 nosebleed seat in 1989.
In relative terms Tull is still a bargain today.  I paid $72.50 for this year's ticket.
Ticketmaster must have added something to your overall cost in 2011.  |

Ticketmaster must have added something to your overall cost in 2011. No need for you rush to defend it Jim, it wasn't a complaint. I just never saw or heard Ian out there railing against the ticket companies ala Metallica or Pearl Jam. No, Tull has never done a "supershow" like Floyd, or the Eagles or the "legendary" Rolling Stones (the most boring show on earth!) charging ungodly amounts to see the "final" show in a huge arena, orrrr U2 on just another tour....The ticket prices Ian's getting are the same as Yes, Steely Dan, and a few others I paid for last summer. it's whatever the market will bear, and the artist will pull. LA by the way seems to, over the years, bear more, I'm sure NY pays more also. The reason my TAAB 2012 tickets are less then the 2010-11 shows is because I got in on the presale prices, which are reeally only the posted prices without all the padding. I've never sat one out over the price. This year will be somewhere around 36 or 37th show. Not quite the 100's that some here have but I'm still there, I might even buy a shirt this year.....I've never owned one. Darin |

Darin  Believe me Darin, no one's shoes squeek louder than mine.
If I had gone to more shows over the years, my wife would have freaked.
She has her priorities too, and I always walk a thin line. I consider myself Frugal not Cheap. ;D

Always use your own judgement on any decision about Tull merchandise. That makes it special. |

My Brother's Tull Ticket1997 November 7 / The Joint - Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas, Nevada  My Brother was working in Vegas and wanted to hang out one night.
His short attention span did not help him understand what a great concert Tull is.
He just wanted to meet the Ladies at the show. He ain't heavy, he's my Brother.

Tull ticket prices as Darin said it what that market area will pay. The Boston, New York, area pay some of highest on the east coast, on the west coast it is LA area. I do however think that depending on which band determines there price as the promoter I am sure has a lot to do with establishing the ticket price for every group

More than 12,000 people gathered in the Plaza de Toros Monumental de Barcelona to enjoy double the Jethro Tull concert on Wednesday night. A surprising and symptomatic turnout when you consider the factors that enveloped the evening: first Jethro Tull acted for the second time in just a few months and, on the other, his performance was produced along with the opening act of Camel. A few classical sometimes very difficult, however, this is but one to which there is danger that the nose wrinkling. Although Andy Latimer (thin, tall, peaked cap and leader of Camel), do not. It is normal not to be raised whether or not repeating rhythms, melodies and solos, played over and over again. Is it normal not because doing so would pose uncertainty to the interpretation. The single factor, their very last album, goes reeling with a padded seamless lighting but also without much show of temper. The commercial passages keep the public waiting for improvisation, the moment when the musicians begin to enjoy the trip. Is the time allowed to flow naturally his Camel-Canterbury sound.
Referring to Watching me, watching you, (one of the pieces of the latest album of Jethro Tull), Ian Anderson had said that the feeling claustrophobic thinking that people are caught constantly observed by the public. In the end it seems that in his country retreat, surrounded by calves, Ian Anderson has solved the dilemma based deaf to the demands choreography that often accompany the myths of rock-based and offer a simple show in which whole show is based on the five musicians. In this sense, the few gags that followed were an everyday until embarrassing: Davis Pegg, bassist, had disappeared from the stage. Anderson called him repeatedly. Pegg appeared with visible signs of being sick. Currently an assistant stage, all in black, came with a huge metal garbage can. With all the respectfulness of the world lifted the lid and Pegg, as if it needed time, he vomited.
In another moment of the concert the trash cans were again major part of the show. It was when all the musicians had disappeared one by one were getting dressed as tramps. They began to dig three large buckets full of debris, until each found an instrument: Anderson and Barre a mandolin and drummer (fresh from Magna Carta) some drums. They sat on a bench that had been placed there and started the acoustic rendition of what would become the powerful Pussy willow. Then when it came Watching me, watching you, Ian Anderson agreed, for the first time, the stage presence of anyone other than the public. The single, low-flash of white light, confronted the issue pursued by a doctor, white coat, which surprisingly was multiplying. At the end there were twelve doctors who overwhelmed him.elpais.com/diario/1982/09/03/cultura/399852018_850215.htmlJethro Tull 7/05/1982 Back of the ticket Jethro Tull - Watching me.../ Beastie / Swirling Pit - Live - Barcelona, Spain - Sept. 1, 1982 Jethro Tull - A New Day ... / Minstrel...- Live - Barcelona, Spain - Sept. 1, 1982

Thanks on my part. Have come to light a quantity of memories in my mind, seeing the newspaper clippings. Also I'v followed the Tour, and it is impossible to forget the entry by Ian on stage, holding the Broadsword on the notes of the song. Wonderful ... a tear ... M. |

Thanks MothFairy (Holly) for adding to the Tull Tickets thread. Whether blurry or not, they are special and deserve to be preserved. I never had anything signed until 1993 in Raleigh, North Carolina. I was scared to even ask. The older I got, the less intimidated I became. Of course the band has to be available after the show. I appreciate every time that has happened. What a nice bunch of Rock Stars ! ;D |

I paid $72.50 for this year's ticket.
Believe me Darin, no one's shoes squeek louder than mine.
Nice !
