I think Pearl Jam did it for me this week. Was all excited to get selected in the lottery only to find out, upper bowl tickets started at $175 + fees. For comparison, in 2022 the cheapest tickets started were $158 total with fees for TWO. Yes, different venue but same area and promoter. It’s the same crap with just about every band. Blink 182, I was able to score two tickets pretty right next to the stage for $296 with fees just last year. Anything similar would be $305 + fees for one ticket!!

I have noticed the whole platinum/vip packages have take over ticketmaster but also a ton of seats being resold. Scalpers have ruined it for us recently but it seems that ticketmaster has caught up and made dreadful “packages”. Seems like the days of scoring $30 decent tickets are over. Eventually, this will be unsustainable right???

What's your favorite unconventional song cover

discussion

My favorite kind of music is strange covers that shouldn't work but end up working way better than you'd expect.

What's your favorite song cover done in a completely different style/genre (ex: or )

What's your favorite faithful cover done by an artist from a completely different style/genre (ex: )

Edit: Well, this got a bit more traction than I was expecting. Thank you all for giving me plenty of music to go through during my shift tonight

Rules

No songs from the Hall of Fame

Songs listed in our Hall of Fame will be automatically removed.

Discussions posts "about, of, or for" the author.

Submissions are for the community to participate in and enjoy. Submissions in r/Music should prompt broad discussion, and should not require participation by the OP. (Unless it's a celebrity AMA.)

Title Formatting: Artist - Title [Genre]

Title formatting: Artist - Title [Genre]

Music should be titled using this formatting, including spacing, dashes, and [brackets] for the genre.

Titles should be objective, not editorialized. To include interesting details, personal stories, or other information, simply reply with a comment after you've submitted your post.

Example:

Rush - The Spirit of Radio [Prog Rock] (1980) Live in Canada

Artist repost limitations

Music by artists who've recently had a popular post (100+ upvotes) is automatically removed for the next 30 days to ensure content remains fresh. If your post is removed, consider trying another artist.

No clickbait

Music should stand on its own, and titles should be objective. No emotional appeals, asking for votes, or other 'clickbait.' Editorializing should be left to the comments.

High-quality discussions only

Discussion posts should be thoughtfully crafted to encourage meaningful, civil, and constructive conversation; avoid low-effort requests for artist, song, or album recommendations. Cross-posts must be edited to remove clickbait.

Follow Self-promo guidelines

It is your responsibility to read and understand Reddit's guidelines on self-promotion before submitting your own music.

Musical celebrities are exempt. For verification, contact the staff privately.

For original music, double-check your submission after 2-3 minutes. Ensure the flair is set to 'I Made This'.

No request-style posts

Avoid personal requests or help identifying a tune. This includes 'tip of my tongue' style posts, or recommendations based on your interests.

For fresh music by smaller artists, check out r/listentothis
For interest-based suggestions, you could visit r/ifyoulikeblank or r/ifyoulikeblankmusic
For help identifying a song or melody, try r/tipofmytongue or r/namethatsong.

Whenever possible, always use links to artists' official channels. Exceptions are made for exclusive releases, region-restrictions, certain live performances, and other circumstances.

No solicitation

The r/Music community thrives on genuine interaction and exploration, not on information gathering.

Therefore, we do not allow posts requesting:

Surveys, questionnaires, or data-mining
Signups, votes, or participation in studies

Crowdfunding, requests to donate, enter contests
Personal information

Text posts should contribute to quality discussions. Share your thoughts on music, ask open-ended questions, or spark interesting debates.

No unauthorized music

This subreddit is for discussing and sharing legally available music only.

No links to pirated, leaked, or unreleased music, such as torrent sites, file-sharing platforms, or unofficial YouTube channels. No promotion of piracy or similar acts, such as encouraging others to download or stream music illegally. This rule helps to respect the rights and efforts of the creators and distributors of music.

Stay on-topic

Stay relevant. Submissions must be explicitly related to music, music technology, or the music industry.

Statements and actions by musicians not relevant to their musical work are not allowed. Articles discussing significant events in musicians’ lives are subject to staff discretion. If in doubt, contact the moderation team.

Avoid 'anniversary' and 'on this date' posts unless they're meaningful and relevant.

Room for interpretation allowed for highly-engaging posts.

Be respectful, follow Reddiquette

Don't kill the vibe. Use common sense. Maintain civility and treat others with respect.

Avoid discussions on hot-button issues.

Users must follow Reddiquette at all times. It's your responsibility to read and understand these guidelines.

No playlist posts

No playlists sharing/gathering and similar posts.

Submissions should be limited to individual songs. This helps ensure a diverse selection of music from many different users. If you want to share or request playlists, you might visit r/IMadeAPlaylist or r/SpotifyPlaylists instead. This rule helps to promote music discovery and appreciation.

Avoid making posts requesting music for yourself alone. Start a proper discussion and invite everyone to share with everybody involved.

No low-effort, hastily-written or AI content.

Discussions on r/Music should promote meaningful and substantive discussions about music-related topics. Hastily written/off-topic text posts that lack depth, context, or the potential for engaging conversations will likely be removed.

Organic, human content only. Sharing AI-generated content is grounds for a permanent ban.
