He did the same in Amsterdam. Very annoying... Amsterdam and Antwerp treat bands like background music for some reason.

I have been a Crowes fan since the beginning and wanted to go see them on this tour but the ticket prices for decent seats seem crazy to me considering they were playing theaters when they last broke up.
I just checked the tickets for the shed Xfinity Center here in the Boston area and it looks like 70-80% of the tickets are unsold. Lower section center seats go for $200-400 a pop while even seats the next section back are over $100.
I am waiting until close to show and am betting they will be selling seats for pennies on the dollar by then unless they cancel the show due to poor sales.
Not sure what they were thinking when they booked this tour in such large venues and asked crazy prices for tickets.
So anyone else seeing the same poor sales where they live?

I totally support Jack White, and whatever other artists are going down that path, of flat-out not allowing phones into the show. As simple as that.
They are probably doing a public service by reminding, or teaching ignorants to experience live music. That there is life not filtered through a screen.
I don't know how they do it at Classical music concertos and all; like a solo piano concerto - I can't imagine there being phones in there.

Its a bomb everywhere. Live Nation is doing a $20 promos for lawn tickets at all the sheds.
Be patient and wait till show day, Im sure you will find good seats at a reasonable price outside.
Lots of other tours happening at the same time, as well.

for one, I think the Crowes thought they had that "nostalgia-bucket-list" thing....they don't....
and "real true-blue fans" (like myself) are probably a bit turned-off by the outrageous prices for good seats.
that's even more pronounced by the fact that, as OldSchool pointed out, they were playing theaters and clubs and bars just a few years prior....for dirt-cheap.
that's why I'm not going....
add to the fact that it's "not really the Black Crowes" and many other "real" fans are bowing out, I assume.
I love the Crowes, but they waaaaaay over-played their hand on this one....
even a $20 lawn-seat has little appeal to me...
they should just keep the "Brothers of a Feather" thing going in the small venues and mix up the set-lists (and keep the prices reasonable)....

I agree on all points, but I will still go see them. (definetly not going to pay full price)
Already saw the show at the Bowery here in NYC.
The tour is a blatant money-grab and they seem to have no issue with it.
