This is a somewhat fair critic and you are not the first to make it but since 2020 10% of the base ticket price and 100% of proceeds after fees and base ticket price were reserved for charities local to each city they were performing in. They say they perform for the major label they do in sometimes in expensive areas and not just you know in squats to have their message reach as many people as possible you can chose to believe and accept that or not I’m not a huge fan so am not enthusiastic in their defense.
I was going to say exactly this. I almost bought 2020 tix at the highest ticket price BECAUSE of the charity. They even had the tix labeled as non-transferable to prevent scalping.
They also haven’t performed regularly since the early 2000s so it’s not like they’ve been making money hand over fist for 20yrs either.
I didn’t buy tix cause this was March 2020 and the world was already talking about shutting down.
I doubt they were raging against capitalism, seeing as how tickets to their last show were like $900 each.
Capitalism is when things cost money.
