Last week, tickets to the Dave Matthews Band’s concerts on July 15 and July 16 went on sale to the general public and sold out quickly. Resale and platinum tickets surged to over $650 per ticket, frustrating fans.
According to Live Nation, there were 7,200 tickets priced between $70 and $175, but those quickly sold out. An additional 300 tickets were listed between $175 and $750. Anything listed for higher is resale, according to Live Nation. Still, fans were disappointed by the high prices.
