Another massive hard rock band, AC/DC of Australia, is back on the road for the 2023 tour, which will be exciting for the fans. The band went on an indefinite hiatus after their frontman, Brian Johnson, was forced to quit during their tour in 2016 because of hearing loss problems. Luckily, with Johnson returning to the group and both of these albums being released, AC/DC is indeed ready to bring their powerful live performances back.
AC/DC is undoubtedly one of the best hard rock bands in history, which is why people are eager to see the band perform their songs. So just how much is it going to cost you to to buy the AC/DC tickets for the most recent tour? Now let us discuss how these prices look like so far and what aspects affect the ticket prices.
AC/DC started their 2023 tour in August 2022, performing in Hannover, Germany. Tickets for that concert cost between €93 (about $95) for the general seating and up to €179 ($183) for the standing stadium with reserved seating. Regular admission “standing tickets” had a face value of 140 euros, which is approximately 143 US dollars.
It was in September 2022 that they offered two concerts in Madrid’s Wanda Metropolitano Stadium. The low ticket price began from €75 ($77 USD) for a stand, while the most expensive ticket, “Diamond” seated, was €155 ($159 USD) and offered the best view of the stage.
So taking the two shows witnessed in Europe, the cheapest AC/DC tickets have gone for between $75 and $95 as the basic or the high-up nose bleeder. This has increased the ticket prices to between $150-180+ for better position at the lower and floor seats towards the stage.
Of course, it is quite clear that prices can differ depending on the city and the place, but this lets show a general idea that AC/DC concert tickets for the shows in 2023 will cost at least $75 and will be no more than a couple of hundred dollars for the most expensive seats.
Several key factors come into play when determining AC/DC ticket prices:
Popularity & Demand: As for AC/DC, it has millions of fans who are in their thirties and forties, as well as younger people. One of the major attractions is to watch one of the most popular bands of all time perform on the “last ever tour.” This generates a lot of traffic and pushes up prices.
Venue Size & Location: Ticket prices tend to be much higher for theaters for more circumscribed and warm performance spaces than for stadium gigs. It is also important to note that shows in a big city cost more than those in a small town because of the higher overhead.
Seat Location: On the basis of view, front of the arena or floor tickets and lower bowl seats are the most popular and costliest. End zones and upper levels are relatively cheaper. Further, general admission standing room tickets cost less when it comes to the first bid.
Tour Sponsor & Promoter: Other factors include those related to the promoters who set up and market the concerts themselves and this may lead to the overall cost being increased.
Resellers & Resale Market: Secondary resale sites can have extremely high face value prices for their MTOs right when they are initially offered to the public. Some programs that air live are trending and they find their way to the market before being resold.
When summing up all these factors—the world-renowned band that is AC/DC, the aging population with money to spend on tickets, large multi-act tours, and the pent up demand after the band’s break—people are still highly interested in the 2023 shows, which means that tickets remain expensive. People are obviously ready and more than willing to spend hundreds of dollars to witness a legendary band of rock n’ roll.
If those price ranges seem too high, there are still a few ways determined fans can score cheaper AC/DC tickets:
Sign up to become a member of the artist's or event’s fan club or promoter so that you can be on the list to buy tickets before the normal sale to the public.
Purchase general admission seating or high-up, cheap roof seats
Choose locations that are at the back of the stage or in the end part of the hall for cheaper seats.
Renew your plumbing system on weekdays instead of weekends.
People should purchase tickets prior to being sold out since this is a show.
Beware of online sales where concert tickets are sold at throwaway prices just a day to the concert dates.
Even though the tickets for AC/DC’s concerts may be pricey, the fans are aware that their money will be well spent watching musical icons such as Angus Young and Brian Johnson perform live once again some of their biggest hits, including “Back in Black,Thunderstruck,” and “You Shaked Me All Night Long.”. These are the thoughts that are being inspired by the music alone; the energy and passion that are produced in the concerts cannot be compared with any other form
Considering the enthusiasm of fans of any age now that one of the most loved bands of all time is returning to tour the world, expensive tickets will not deter them from finally getting to come face-to-face with their favorite group and rock on with AC/DC live in a particular city. As with most fans, most have waited over 6 years for the group to come back to the stage and most consider AC/DC concert tickets to be irreplaceable.
