ALL MY HOMIES HATE TICKETMASTER.
Zach Bryan, a true man of the people, just announced his 2023 Burn, Burn, Burn tour, and as promised, he’s fighting the good fight to give fans a chance at fairly priced tickets through a private ticket vendor.
I think we’ve all heard about the insanity going on over at large ticketing companies, which swept headlines across the country in the wake of the Taylor Swift fiasco, and Zach promised fans he would find a way to do it differently.
He took to Youtube to exclusively announce the tour will kick off in May, and introduced none other than the Rat King himself as our guide through the ticketing process…
“Hey guys, my name is Zach Bryan, and I’ve tried my best to make tickets as affordable as possible for the ‘Burn, Burn, Burn’ tour.
And here is the Austin, Texas resident, the self-proclaimed rat king of America, and the only man to ever lease a mullet to his own skull, to explain to you guys how it’s gonna work. Thank you guys so much, can’t wait to see you there.”
Comedian Theo Von hilariously then explained in-detail how it will work, notably that tickets will range from $40 and be capped at $130, with low service fees, along with credit card fees and state taxes that “Zach and his sound homies have no control over”:
“What’s up, you little orange-loving, happy and sad at the same time Zach Bryan, cult-worshipping good people of America, it’s your boy himself, the Lord’s oyster.
And I’m here to tell you exactly how this shit’s gonna go down. Tickets will start at $40, and won’t be higher than $130. Service fees will be as low as $10 and no higher than $20 per ticket, plus credit card fees and state taxes, that Zach and his sound homies have no control over.”
Fans can start registering now at https://www.axs.com/ZachBryan, and will be randomly selected to buy tickets at a later date.
If selected, fans will begin receiving emails on February 13th with further purchase information:
“There will be absolutely no bullshit at all, no hidden fees or ninja (dynamic) pricing. Register for these hitters now through January 29th at fair access. That’s www.axs.com/ZachBryan.
These registration will be scrubbed tore move scalpers, bots, and low road lizards.”
And in an effort to keep scalpers and bots completely out of it, tickets purchased via access cannot be transferred or resold for profit.
They can, however, be resold on axs.com for face value. Which means, whatever you do, do NOT buy a ticket for a Zach Bryan show on any other site, no matter what, because you won’t be getting into the concert with it.
There is also a four ticket limit to give more people a chance at catching a show, and these rules go for headlining shows only, not any of his festival or rodeo dates.
It’s truly incredible to see an artist put this much effort into making sure their actual fans will not only get tickets, but pay a fair and decent price for them, and reminds me a lot of the Eric Church method and how he goes about selling tickets.
I think Theo summed it best, though:
“We’re out here fighting the good fight with these human snakes at ticketing companies, and dark art bots on the internet.
Good luck. And here’s to fair pricing for all.”
Amen to that…
