As we all know, the Events Center is NEW and very popular. Something else is evident from this ‘newness’ the high prices of concerts. On Sunday I was talking to a friend who said him and some other folks were taking a carload to Lincoln to see Def Leppard at the Pinnacle. I asked why he didn’t see them when they were at the Denny. He told me he was going to, but the seats he wanted were between $100-125. He told me he got comparable seats at the Pinnacle for $40. I still think he went to Lincoln so his friends wouldn’t see him in town going to see Def Leppard, because to be honest with you, $40 is about $39 more than I would pay to see Def Leppard.
The surprising part about this is that the Pinnacle isn’t that much older than the Denny, and tickets are $60 less for the same show? Do Sioux Falls taxpayers have a rude awakening coming in a couple of years when the newness of the Denny wears off and we are subsidizing it more? Kind of reminds you of another entertainment facility in Sioux Falls that we are constantly throwing money at and putting bandages on.
perhaps the seats and location were not similar for the def leopard show between the venues?
I just looked online for tickets to motley crew and Theresa Caputo. both which will also be in lincoln and SF and the ticket prices were very similar for both venues in similar sections
I hope your friend enjoyed the 8hr round trip, gas, meals and expenses
I heard they kicked ass in Lincoln.
Brett Michaels is at Sioux City. I suspect (once the newness wears off) there’ll be major competition between the two Sioux’s.
