Sisters - World Tour 2009

[japanesebaby]

i think 40 euros IS a pretty cheap ticket prize

I understand all the costs involved in the production of shows in southamerica, but for a country where the minimum salary is 100 euro, 40 euro will never be "cheap"

yes, i can understand that. and 80 euros would surely have been a complete rip-off, that's true - they probably would have had to cancel the whole thing pretty soon because of poor sales if they hadn't at least lowered the price. maybe they still have to, who knows.
i suppose it's a simply a rather unsolvable situation, trying to make the production costs meet the ability to pay over there. therefore it's maybe not a surprise so many bands don't often go on tour there.

jesus and mary chains, robin guthrie, covenant, and one, clan of xymox, gene love gezebel, oasis, bjork, duran duran, travis, rem, radio dept, coco cielo, love lies crushing, soda stereo, camouflage, melotron, nitzer ebb...

lot of bands have passed for Lima... and I just wrote here above the ones I remember... but i have never hear the peope complain so much for a show as the sisters. the prices were just way too high.

40 euros is probably fair (because I hear Eldricht is the kind of artist interested more in money than anything else - and so he must ask a lot for a gig), fair, maybe. "pretty cheap", no way.

but how much did oasis, björk, duran duran & co. ask per ticket? really less than 40 euros each?

besides bjork, there were really prices for all the pockets (in oasis for instance, the cheapest was like 5 euro)

the bjork show was as expensive as the sisters. but many people listen bjork and very few sisters of mercy. I mean, how many gothics are in Lima? perhaps 2000? and from these 2000 how many can really afford a 40 euro ticket?

also to notice, when the bjork concert had place, the taxes for concerts was very high. those taxes are not longer valid, that's why many people ask themselves why so high prices for the SoM show.

I think it's not a Sisters fault but it's the PROMOTER !!!! (as always)

in this i have to agree with you. the promotor who organize this sucks. they have a bad reputation since the time they announced the whole The Mission and at the end there was only Wayne Husssey (2002). Of course we hear the groupe disbanded while in Brazil, but the promoter NEVER told the audience about this.

I pladed a poll asking if people will go to the concert with the newest "cheap" prices

So far, people prefer use that money to buy best places for the DM concert

Different views about the concert, some says that sound was good, anothers says the contrary; some says it was a karaoke, anothers says it was a great concert; the promotor saying the VIP zone was sold out (I personally don't buy that one), others says it was not sold out.

In general looks like people who went enjoyed, as I can read and see in some youtube videos
