THE DEAL WITH TICKETS

Bassnectar Spring Tour 2013 - Photo by Rukes.comAfter reading so many comments about our on sale this morning, I thought I’d take a minute to explain how this all works and what it all means.

With every show the promoter gives Bassnectar (typically) a 10% allotment of the tickets to sell at discounted prices with lower fees. If a show holds 1,000 people, we get 100 tickets to sell. This is the result of some music industry legislation. Read about SCI vs Ticketmaster and say thanks when you see them! Anyway, it’s a very limited number of tickets for our fan club so they go quickly.

First off THANK YOU!!!! Our fan club presale tickets were gone almost as soon as they went up this morning. We even had our ticketing company check to make sure this wasn’t the work of bots. Almost all of the presales were sold out within the first 5 minutes. We were actually able to have more tickets added to the Providence, Burlington, Charlotte, and Rochester shows! (In case you missed out, the public on sale begins Friday or Saturday morning depending on venue. Check Bassnectar.net for all of the details.) This Spring Tour is all about tighter venues! This means overall there are limited tickets available to every show. The shows are smaller so please move quickly if you’d like to join us for these special nights. 

Although we’re happy to see the tickets move quickly and can’t thank you enough, I’ve seen lots of concerns raised about scalping worth addressing. First things first… The tickets on Stub Hub are not worth a penny. DO NOT BUY THESE!

We’ve disabled name changes for our fan club tickets to be picked up at Will Call. Whoever purchased those must be the one to show up at the venue. As always the Bass Crew is hear to help if there are circumstances that might get in the way.

We’re also giving paperless ticketing a try for the Tabernacle shows (explained here). The credit card used to purchase the tickets must be presented at the show. If this works the way we hope, we’d like to use it more going forward. This system has worked for many other shows @ The Tabernacle so we are excited to give this a whirl!

Please know that the Bassnectar crew is trying hard to crack down on this and it pains us to see a single ticket on Stub Hub.

Our goal is to bring the best music and the best experience possible to as many people as possible, and create magical experiences and memories in an unforgettable way. We want DEEP IMPACT. Thanks for the love and support!
