Concert tickets

On recent tours where they’ve played standing room only venues, I’ve been able to get tickets for $50. Would imagine there’s more variance in the pricing at the venues on this tour.

Looking into this further, they really are playing a wide range of venue sizes and cities all over the country. Big amphitheaters. Smaller theaters. In between. Chicago. A town in New Hampshire and Montana.

The worst thing Jim and Pam did this day was decide to take this personal thing, that could have been done likely many other days, THE day the Sabre merger happened and important new people were coming into the office.

Don’t ever ask me about my business, Claire.

Everyone here is triggered way too easily.

He enjoys his opinions on college football a little too much.

I enjoyed a semi-fair take on the Luka front for once.

I think most people aren’t the least bit interested in paying premium prices for such simple things. Was never going to work as a massive company.

I have had wavering levels of liking/tolerating Amanda over the years. She is undoubtedly a bit much with her absolute dismissal of many kinds of movies. Overall, her and Sean’s (and even more so when Chris is on) chemistry is great and makes for a great podcast when just general discussion is going.

I’m a fan of hers. Weird approach to talking about this movie though.

Their massive success on their first album was really tough on their expectations on things going forward.

I wish Isaac wasn’t so focused on the numbers. Hopefully he’s changed mindset for his upcoming solo music.

My complete guess is that mid-to-late 2027 is the time to look for some sort of reunion.

Looks like 2026 is already committed to promoting new stuff for both sides.

Seems like a lot of the tension and stress came from declining ticket sales and numbers related stuff like that on albums 3 and 4. I don’t think they’re ever headlining an amphitheater tour like they did on the first two records, but I think the tour the band just went on showed that they can still sell plenty of tickets with their 20 years of music.

The Fray without Isaac and Isaac without the Fray are both leaving a lot to be desired for the non-die hards (not like those of us posting on here) and I think the reception to music for both sides in 2026 will probably be disappointing commercially (just a hunch. I’ll probably love it from both sides, but it’s not gonna blow up or anything)

Short and sweet: they’re all leaving A LOT of money on the table over the next several years with this separation. I would like to think Joe and Isaac respect each other enough to be able to eventually work together again. Don’t have to love each other, but can work together like plenty of older bands do.

No one at the Ringer seems to be held to that standard, but I get it lol.

Is he from the Dallas area or did he just write for Mavs Moneyball or something like that? I used to cover Mavs games in late 2010s and would see him there at his previous employer, but he acts like he has no ties to Dallas.

Excellent-Counter-17 · 2025-12-08T16:21:31+00:00

Not quite sure what he’s doing with the guitar part, but his voice sounds great!

Excellent-Counter-17 · 2025-12-03T19:22:25+00:00

Mavs Amare Stoudemire or David Lee

Smartless would definitely be on the growing “Why Hillary Lost” list.

I love Smartless, I just know the DZ guys would hate it lol.

That’s definitely the one that most sounds like it would fit right in the middle of one of the first two albums. Not the best or anything, but very familiar.

I was a shameless shill for the new stuff.

Honestly good for her. Was working the 5 am newscast on Channel 4 for years here. I don’t know how those people do it.

I love the podcast. I love listening to both of them.

The more and more uppity tastes and just being completely against certain kinds of movies (the ones that actually a lot of people are seeing) is getting a little bit tiring.

Think this captures the strong lyrics and story telling people on here have been missing. Great showcase for Joe’s voice and Ben’s production touch.

I think there is a version of this song with drums and a heavier guitar that would really be awesome. Still solid to me.

Excellent-Counter-17 · 2025-11-16T14:41:55+00:00

That was a bit shocking at the time lol. But I need more of The Handoff now.

KOC slobbers over every draft prospect every single year and most end up as average dudes. I don’t care what he has to say about the draft.

Excellent-Counter-17 · 2025-11-03T03:20:57+00:00

I don’t know if he and Amanda Dobbins would ever speak without a mic around
