KPop Demon Hunters was a resounding success for Netflix, coming out of nowhere to become the platform’s most-watched movie of all time and spawning several of last year’s biggest pop hits. It was less of a success for Demon Hunter, the Christian metal band that presumably has been getting mogged in the search bar ever…
That’s the thing, these guys are definitely dining out on the confusion. No “Christian metal” band is realistically charging $500 for vip tickets. Especially considering they only sold 600k records in the last 25 years and over +12 albums. They would be lucky enough to be hitting the state fair circuit.
At least two kids + two parents means four tickets total for 500$. I’m not too familiar with average US ticket prices, but 125$ per person doesn’t sound too far fetched even for a smaller band, considering all the upcharges they have on everything.
According to the court filing it was 3 tickets for a mother and two children, so a little over $165 a ticket. I checked the bands website and they just so happen to be coming to a small venue near me which I have frequented several times.
This is a tiny venue which is usually frequented by small indie and cover bands, and the prices for this show are a lot higher than I’ve ever seen. Usually you can catch a show here for 20-30 bucks for an open floor ticket as there is no seating.
They are charging $45 for general admission, but they also are selling access to a roped off section in front of the stage for nearly $200 a ticket. I haven’t actually ever heard of the venue ever doing this, and I don’t even know how they are going to enforce it. The venue is a small room that used to be an old timey movie theater that they ripped the seats out of. It’s small enough to where you wouldn’t really be able to have security on the floor separating the crowd, the total occupancy for the building is like 500 people and that would be packed to the gills.
Either this band has a dedicated weird cult like following… Or they are taking an opportunity to eat out on this confusion.
