That's if you manage to not have ticketmaster gently caress you. I'm going to try to go to the NYC show though. SO hard.

Edit: Am I reading that right no Kendrick at NYC?

Yeah I'm afraid of the crazy ticketmaster charges or even just the fact it's gonna be hard to even buy the tickets before they sell out in a section I want.

Kendrick calls himself the king of New York, then doesn't show at either of the NYC shows :smith:

gently caress. Gonna see Ye either way, but still bummed.

I've never been to either MSG or Barclays - which is gonna be a better show?

He is Really Sick. Watch the Throne live a couple years ago was phenomenal. If you want to go and can afford it then you should go.

Who says it was his call? There's apparently a "special guest" for the NY shows.

:20bux: says it's 'Hov and they officially premiere Watch the Throne 2.

Bad girls think that you're being a boob punch

According to Ticketmaster, prices for the Barclays Center show are as follows:

quote:

US $49.50 Ticket + US $10.15 Fees = US $59.65
US $199.50 Ticket + US $26.00 Fees = US $225.50

The "cheaper" option is probably available in really limited quantities, so don't count on scoring a $60 ticket for the NYC show.

Yep. The fools on KTT are calling Jay-Z as the special guest, but that leaves him a week from starting his own tour.

Honestly I saw him in Vancouver during Watch the Throne and it was off the chart. For all the poo poo he deserves for his egomania in the media, when he shuts the gently caress up and creates art it is on it's own level and when he takes the time to perform live you get the sense that in that moment he is really giving you all his soul has. Think that's hyperbole? Fine. Go watch a live performance of Street Lights or All Of The Lights. The man is on fire in front of you.

I'd pay $600 without blinking, gently caress what my friends say.

Looks like Kanye is teaming up with Kendrick Lamar for his Yeezus tour.

"Kanye West's first solo tour in 5 years"

I saw him solo three years ago. Maybe it just means in the US? Or maybe he's not counting festival shows, which most of the shows then were, although the show I saw was solo.

Anyway, I'm going if this ends up anywhere near me. I flew around 800 miles last time and I'd do the same again, but hopefully won't have to.

I saw him on the Late Registration college campus tour, so this was years before he fully became the Yeezy and Yeezus we know today, and it was still ridiculously sick. He totally gives everything he has.

forget about ur worries and ur strife
How good is Kanye live? I saw him at Governors Ball in New York and I'm sincerely debating whether I can afford tickets to the show at MSG. He gives his all, and man would I kill to see Yeezus in an arena format. I've heard he can be fickle, what with that Bonnaroo disaster a few years back, but at Gov Ball he was only 15 minutes late and played a half-hour past curfew (which must have cost thousands of dollars in fines.) It was when he debuted "On Sight," "Send It Up" and "I Am A God" live (and when he did "I Am A God," he screamed at the top of his lungs for fifteen seconds).

Not sure if it was a tour, but he did some shows in Europe in the Summer of 2011. He did a few festivals and a couple of one off shows. I saw him in Copenhagen.

edit: looking here it was pretty much all festivals other than that.

I saw him at ACL, which was the last of his MBDTF themed shows before starting on his WTT tour. It was pretty incredible.

Man, Charlie Wilson feat. Kanye West more like

Good performance. On the subject at hand, I saw Kanye headline the final day of Coachella a year or so ago, and he was incredible. He didn't stop between songs and just all around killed it.

I'm going to try and hit the Oakland show on the Yeezus tour.

I had that in my cart before the Live Nation app crashed while I was confirming the purchase. I'd be upset, but it's not like that wasn't typical of the Live Nation/Ticketmaster purchasing experience. I hope the pre-sale went better for everyone else.

Yeah right At 10 sharp I had tickets in my cart and then when I went to check out TM said there was an error and I had to start over. Luckily even though it took 10 mins to get back to it even finding me tickets, they were the same ones.

What tickets are $800? The VIP GA section? Regular GA is priced around $185.

It's more accurate to gauge the secondary market price if you look at the listings that have actually sold on Stubhub. For the first MSG show, floor tickets seem to be selling somewhere around the $250 price range. Who knows how those prices will be affected after the announcement of two more NYC dates and today's public sale? Ideally, the additional shows would drive down the reseller prices but I doubt that will happen. It's kind of ridiculous that people were buying tickets from Stubhub before the public sale even occurred, though.

Also, the order for a GA ticket that I thought I lost due to a cart crash during checkout apparently went through. I received a confirmation e-mail for it and everything. I guess I'm going to the first show at the Barclays Center in November.
