They must be hurting for ticket sales,  tickets for Uncle Kracker are now at $19.50.

You don't think it has something to do with that it's Uncle Kracker?

Yeah, it's not the Spirit bank center that's the problem here. UK should play the Cain's where they have a chance of filling the venue. Better yet, they should not play at all.

I did get my Stone Temple Pilots tickets for $10. I think they were having trouble selling those because they were freakin' $60!!

UK had like what, one hit?  At least STP had a whole album full of hits.  I paid $60 for my ticket, but then again I was right up on the front row too.  I won't pay $1 though to go to another show there until they fix the sound problems.

$10 was a sale price for like, two days.

Nose bleeds in a place that seats 4,000?

Is there really such a thing?

More like "generate boogers slightly faster than normal" seats.

When I was there for STP there didn't look like a bad seat in the house.  You could get a good view from just about anywhere, and the highest seats were maybe three stories up.  

But yeah, Uncle Kracker is a horrible choice for the center.  His one hit was in 2003, and he's done zilch since.  Also he's apparently mutating into country just like so many other musicians whose careers have died (Darius Rucker from Hootie and the Blowfish, Bon Jovi, Jessica Simpson, Eddie Money, etc.).

I was 4th row three sections back from stage. Hardly nose bleed. I think I got a good deal. The floor tickets were also available for that price for that weekend.

I like STP, and I would have paid $35, but I still think $60 was too much for a band that hasn't released a new album since the 90s.

Got tickets to the Aussie Pink Floyd show for $20 this weekend. Can't wait, it will be a good show.

So is Tulsa getting overbooked on shows so that promoters have to discount tickets to fill the theaters?

well for one that is bull**** because Shangri-la-de-da came out in 2001.  Second, that can actually be a good thing.  All people wanted was to hear almost every song from Core and a few from Purple...they delivered on that.  When they were on tour in 2002 they played a very similiar set as this tour, because SLLDD only had like one hit off of it.

Woops, we're too late.  The World reported on what will likely be the biggest news of the day: Uncle Kracker has canceled his concert.

They didn't give a reason for the cancellation.

Forgot about that one. I didn't realize it was that recent. I think I still have a copy of it somehwere. (I have way too many CDs to keep up with)

Regardless, in my opinion, $60 is too much for STP, even though I still really like their music.

Uncle Kracker should have just played that bowling alley on E. 11th.

I don't think he'd even fill Cain's.

You'd have to pay me to go to that concert.  I'd also require a minimum of 4 beers.

[inteller]

i have to agree.

[perspicuity85]

Uncle Kracker is, without a doubt, some of the worst music I've ever heard in my life.  Seriously, I'd rather listen to a Miley Cyrus song on repeat.

Okay, maybe I overshot a bit...
