I found out about the tour too late to get affordable tickets, anyone going to any of the shows? I heard most of the proceeds are going to charities in each city they play in

I will not be attending. I've become a bit spoilt and don't dig those huge venue shows. Good luck with your venture and may you rage on you crazy diadem!

It could've been advertised a lot better. I found out about it by chance after doing a search for Zack De La Rocha, and what he was up to these days.

Yeah i heard it from my dad after hearing it off the radio after a week from the beginning of sales, still giving away tickets but that's a crap shoot, but even though I probably won't see them I'm still stoked they're playing though cuz people should get a chance to see them

I love everyone becoming aware enough to realize ticket prices for this band are not only insanely high, but hypocritical given the band's narrative and stance on capitalism lol.

I happen to have an extra ticket I'm trying to sell. If there's any chance you're near El Paso, and want to meet up out there...let me know.

There's been a lot of bitching about prices, yes...but there's a silver lining.
Quote:
The MOST expensive ticket for ANY Rage Against The Machine/Run the Jewels headline show is $125 US (plus service fees) with the exception of CHARITY tickets where 100% of the additional proceeds go to charity. ANY other ticket at ANY other price is from SCALPERS,” he said.
When another fan commented that there were nosebleed seats going for $450 on Ticketmaster, Morello chimed back in.
“If it’s on Ticketmaster for more than the base price it should be a Charity Ticket and say so,” Morello wrote. “If not, send me a screen shot and we will sue them!”While holding back 10 percent of tickets available at each stop, RATM already raised over $3 million for charity. Morello noted that while some charity tickets are priced at nearly $1,000, the ticket price varies based on each city and “fluctuates to counter scalping.”
“So far we stopped approx 85% of the scalping market but I agree that ANY scalping is horrible and we will continue to combat it,” he said.
