Thread: Concerts in Oklahoma City

  1. Default Re: Concerts in Oklahoma City

    FWIW that venue is a really nice place to see a show, for those who haven’t been.

    I've never had the chance to see TOOL and it will have to stay that way. Over a hundred for nose bleed!

    Saw the Roosevelt and Touch Sensitive show tonight. Fantastic shows. Great little venue and super nice employees. Will be going back for Small Black in December.

    I’m excited about Janet! Almost went to see her in Albuquerque years ago; then almost got tix for her in Dallas last year. Just had to be patient.

    I guess the run is over. There have been like, 15 tours announced in the last 2 or 3 weeks that are either skipping Oklahoma entirely, or going to Tulsa or Winstar or Durant.

    Rock shows, in particular. Announcing large summer tours, going to Rogers. Just upsets the heck out of me.

    It generally is, but it seems like the seats are pretty cramped. Not a lot of leg room.

    BOK Center must have taken it personally. They are announcing shows left and right.

    Both KFOR and Fox 25 have reported on something I hadn't noticed.... the Zoo Amp has announced ZERO concerts for 2024.

    Website is down. Phone line is dead.

    Could the Zoo take that area over for expansion?

    If the new amphitheater gets built near Yukon, this land will 100% go back to the Zoo for expansion.

    I don't get why anyone would be triggered by the first show setting a gross revenue record only to be broken by the next night's show. I think it's great! And I can't name a Drake song. People get worked up over the weirdest stuff.

    Triggered because of the cost of tickets.

    Which is probably why the concerts broke records. It doesn't really matter if you break records or not, they will keep being broken because ticket prices will keep going up (or more shows will be added to the same venues, or larger venues will be played, it's never really an apples-apples comparison that takes all those factors into account), so the "highest-grossing tour" of one year could be passed by another tour the next year that sold exactly the same amount of tickets, because the ticket price on the second year's shows will be more than they were before, so they'll make more money. It's not really that meaningful.

    Higher prices for everything is just a thing. ALL concert tickets are way more than they were pre COVID. My wife and I, being in our 60s, still love REO Speedwagon, KANSAS, Journey. STYX, etc. You could get tickets to all that era of bands at the Zoo or casinos for $30 to $40 four years ago. Now tickets to those bands are $70, $80 or more. Plus online fees. REO is coming to Lucky Star in May and general admission tickets are $39. I couldn't buy 2 fast enough. I'd have been buying them doing handstands but I would break something. I can't see everything today regularly being adjusted for what things cost before some time.

    If a show is sold out the tickets were market rate, regardless of the face value. Arguably, tickets to a sold-out show are BELOW market rate.

    My daughter went last night and enjoyed herself. And her ticket wasn't cheap, her ticket was $171 and it was in the 300 section. She said some people went both nights, just because. But also, this was the only Drake concert in the region this tour season. His show schedule didn't include Dallas, Tulsa, and no cities in Arkansas, Kansas, or even Colorado. So there were a lot of people from out of state who bought tickets as well.
