"Cuddly UK DJ, music-maker, and often-fascinating collaborator Fred Again dropped into the Cow Palace on Friday night for the ninth stop of his "10 Shows in 10 Cities in 10 Weeks" sprint, promoting new release . San Francisco (well, technically Daly City) only got four days' notice, but that didn't stop the main arena from selling out in minutes. The ticket was officially $87, but you know how it goes:"
"To good-natured Fred's credit, his team tried to keep the grifting to a minimum; resale was capped at face value +10% on AXS, and they threatened to cancel any profiteered third-party sales. But I was wondering how it would even be enforced? Meanwhile, on StubHub and the Rave-Exchange Facebook group, listings shot up to $300, sometimes $500. I asked as many attendees as I could how much they actually paid-real deal investigative journalism-and most said somewhere in the $87-$120 zone."
"Inside, none of that mattered for long. The energy hit hard immediately, which is rare for a crowd this massive and this pop-culture-online. This was a pure DJ set from Fred, rather than one of his lauded live shows, which don't shy from more melodic, melancholic moments and hands-around-shoulders singalongs. Those who caught last year's Civic Center show with Fred Again and Skrillex knew what to expect, though."
Fred Again performed at the Cow Palace in Daly City as the ninth stop of a "10 Shows in 10 Cities in 10 Weeks" sprint, with the arena selling out within minutes after four days' notice. Official tickets were $87 but secondary-market listings surged to several times face value, with some attendees reporting payments from $87 up to $300 and an LA group paying $260 plus travel. The artist's team capped resale at face value plus 10% and warned of cancellations for profiteered tickets. Inside, the crowd responded with immediate high energy during a pure DJ set rather than a melodic live show.
