I'm merely stating why I don't think this isolated show up in the mountains of central California for an audience of 300 is a big deal. The whole Pixies tour isn't $150-a-ticket. I don't mean it as an attack. Whether you take it that way is up to you, I guess. |

If you look at their tour schedule, the band's going out of their way to play there (presumably because Frank just likes the venue--he's played there solo before). Smaller acts with fewer road expenses might be able to get away with a lower ticket price, but I think a high ticket price is to be expected here.
The location looks to be sort of a "resort" (I know that's probably not the best word). It's not a club in the middle of a metro area. As shineoftheever pointed out above, most of the audience will already be paying big bucks for travel expenses and lodging. (Hotels there are not cheap--http://boardingarea.com/loyaltytraveler/2013/09/21/just-how-expensive-are-big-sur-hotels/#sthash.ZW8s55jQ.dpbs) $150 a ticket might be the LEAST of some peoples' expenses here.
If it's too expensive for you (it's too expensive for me--I live in Texas, I'm not going), then I say just don't go and be happy for the 300 people who will go. That's my stance, at least.
So now people cannot debate a $150 concert ticket without being told to stop complaining and shut up? |

That's the only reason I'm even considering it. The unique venue and vibe should be very memorable. But yeah, crazy expensive. |

Mike Watt plays too many shows, thereby diluting his brand and needlessly deflating his value. A more resonsible management firm could reposition him and increase his efficiency as a musical commodity. |

could be a tax deduction? HMML is charitable org....and pretty much survives on these shows.

I'm on the wait list for when more tickets are released. This thing is PRICEY though, so I may not actually go. $148 is insane.
Wow! That is steep!
Considering when this gig is set to happen, maybe they'll be previewing EP3 material at that point...

Hmm, that link isn't good anymore and I can't find any other information on this. Maybe it was called off?
