Would you pay $40 for Primus?

[ebonalley]

So Primus is in town tonight and although I'm not a big fan I respect Les's talent. Anyone here seen them in concert? Are they worth $40 for general admission?

 

[Marial]

No. But then I won't pay more than $15 to see a show unless it's someone who very rarely comes through town and/or I really, REALLY, like.

 

[PJMiDi]

Seems reasonable for GA. I've seen them a few times and it's definitely a good show(not a huge fan either). Is it just Primus, or is there an opener too?

 

[ffutterman]

If you don't like Primus, you might be very bored. They can get kind of jammy sometimes. That said, I'm a big fan of Primus and the live shows are pretty fun for me, and Les does have the "Wait...what? What just happened?!" moments for you when he plays.

 

[stingray56funk]

No

 

[SanDiegoHarry]

depends on the venue.

And if you don't dig them, why waste $40?

 

[Richland123]

I wouldn't since they are not much to my liking.

 

[DiabolicLow B]

Yes, they put on a very entertaining show, $40 is not much for a concert these days.

No.

 

[nickbass79]

Yes, That is the average price. If you respect Les, Primus is worth seeing. He is a GREAT performer, Eclectic, but a GREAT performer

 

[superbassman2000]

If it was my first time I would, but probably not if I have been to a few. I have no problem paying a little more to see musicians I like.

They are playing with Dirtfoot.

 

[Thane]

Even if you're not super into them, if you've never seen them before it might be worth it. $40 does seem steep but not unreasonable.

 

[logicman69]

Personally, No... I love Primus, but ticket prices are getting too high.

 

[DGbass70]

Not a chance.....paid $25.00 about 12years ago when they were "popular" and end up leaving the place halfway thru the show.And i was a fan....

 

[jaywa]

Tough call... $40? That's a tank of gas these days (almost... if you drive a subcompact). Or half a bag of groceries. Or dinner out with wifey if we snag a Groupon and don't go nuts on the drinks. Anymore for me anyway, I go about as high as a $10 cover charge and that's all I can allow myself to do.

If you're not a hardcore fan I think I'd pass. Never heard of Dirtfoot.

 

[Emm9T]

I'm going to the show in Clearwater FL for the same price and I expect it to be completely worth it. It will be my first time and I'm a fan. Compared to other bands, $40 is pretty cheap. I paid $80 for Iron Maiden *cheap* seats last month.

 

[Rocker949]

I'm not a fan at all. However, to me it would be worth the money to see Les Claypool play. I economize as much as I can, but $40 seems like a fair price.

 

[Elmo Oxygen]

Since mp3s, all concerts are expensive. $40 isn't that bad. I've seen Les play a couple times with different projects and it was well worth it every time.

 

[gjbassist]

$40 is not bad at all for a concert ticket! I paid $80 to see Rush last July. However if it not a band you are really in to then it might not be worth it.
