      I was gonna say

      If I have to pay out the ass for tickets, I'm certainly not going to pay out the ass for drinks

      I'll just pre-game in the parking lot like an adult

        I went to see the band panchiko with my buddy and she had bought the tickets so I said I’ll buy some drinks. I was like oh just to start things off I’ll get two cans 12 oz cans of spiked seltzer. My man hands me the receipt and it was $38.

        Definitely smuggling shots in next time fuck that

        Oh oh and also in spite of the soaring prices a lot of bands can’t even afford to go on tour anymore it’s not making them enough money even with sold out shows there was a time in the 90s when small time bands no one heard of could tour the country and stay solvent now bands with whole ass Wikipedia pages and critically acclaimed albums like animal collective have been cancelling tours because it’s too expensive

          this is the real strat. pre-gaming & bringing a bunch of airplane bottles into a venue is what my friends usually do and surprisingly not once has anyone doing security at any of the dozens of places we've seen shows at has ever taken them out of their bag (or my pockets the few times someone's not had the space in their bag and I had to carry their 300ml of vodka in for them).

      It's incredible that venues are still getting away with this, the only reason they're able to is because most people have had it drilled into their skulls that it's not possible to have a good time without alcohol. It's 2023, hit the vape in the parking garage, you'll be good for 3+ hours and it will likely cost you pennies. Hell, just do shots out of your trunk before walking inside and you should be good for a few hours.

      I'm not hard up for cash but I refuse to pay more than $10 for a beer that isn't some kind of micro brewery limited release. Any time I see someone plastered at a sporting event I wonder how much they spent to get there.

        goddamn what kinda Gamma-16 THC vape are you hitting that a single session will last you 3+ hours :hero-of-socialist-labor: (don't ask me how long I just spent looking through all of the emojis for the goddamn USSR Master Hemp Farmer badge I swore we had as an emoji - if I'd found it, I would've used it....)

        I don't drink or smoke and have a great time at shows. Get in the pit if that's your thing or just vibe on the side.

          Good point, I'm in a legal state so generally nobody cares as long as you're not ripping fat clouds in the faces of bystanders but it could definitely be dangerous elsewhere, especially for minorities.
