""Inflation, fuel, and all other related touring costs have increased exponentially in the last year. However, despite some saying otherwise, I'm afraid our ticket prices have not.""
""There are even more lower price level tickets available this time because we are playing bigger venues. Playing smaller venues would have absolutely increased ticket prices...A LOT.""
""Not sure if the vocal minority complainers are new discovery phase fans or scalper bots sewing discord but these are the facts folks and if I'm lying you can sell my bones to Davey Jones.""
Sturgill Simpson announced a US tour with his band, The Dark Clouds, but faced backlash over ticket prices. He clarified on Instagram that inflation and touring costs have risen, yet ticket prices have not increased. The average ticket price will only rise by $10 compared to his previous tour due to larger venues, which also offer more lower-priced tickets. Simpson emphasized that playing smaller venues would have significantly raised prices. He questioned the motives of those complaining, suggesting they might be new fans or bots.
