I think those are resellers. They do offer $60 tickets, but they may be tough to get before they sell out.

60 bucks would be a pleasant surprise.

Idk, the site I went to is where the Capitol Theater directs you with a button, I don't know other way to do it. Can you show us?

My screen shot was the cheapest seats, if not standing room. Some other tix were over $700.
From my limited perspective, The Capitol has gone over the top with their prices, though I guess that is the case in a lot of the music industry.

Back in the old days we would just go to the show, and it was not unusual to get in somehow, without tix. There are a lot of people with memories like this;
Once some friends brought an apple pie 'for Jerry' to the stage door of the Filmore and were welcomed in.
One day in a pea-soup fog an acquaintance approached and gave me 4 tix to the Dead at Catholic Youth Center, Scranton, PA.
Etc., etc.
There was a feeling of serendipity about it all.

But those were days of much smaller venues for the Dead (Yay, NRPS!) than the arenas they grew into.
At a point in the late '70's I all but stopped going because the venues were too big. It was the blossoming of the dedicated nomadic DeadHead period.

shows the price range. I think the demand is so high that it sells out fast. You would have to be logged in before the on sale date/time and be ready to pay immediately, etc. with all of the additional service fees.

That's cool.
I guess unbridled capitalism takes over before long and spoils the whole thing.
