\n\tJohnny Blue Skies & the Dark Clouds \u2014 better known to the world as Sturgill Simpson<\/a> and his band \u2014 put tickets on sale this week for their nationwide \u201cMutiny for the Masses\u201d tour.<\/a> And even though we\u2019re only in the pre-sale period before the general on-sale this Friday, fans are already grumblings about high ticket prices.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tIn an Instagram post, Mr. Blue Skies himself pushed back. \u201cInflation, fuel, and all other related touring costs have increased exponentially in the last year,\u201d he wrote. \u201cHowever, despite some saying otherwise, I\u2019m afraid our ticket prices have not. High end ticket and low end ticket prices are the exact same, and the average ticket price is the exact same. I know because I insisted on it.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tHe went on to explain that the only actual increase was a mere $10 for GA pit tickets. \u201cThere are even more lower price level tickets available this time because we are playing bigger venues,\u201d he wrote. \u201cPlaying smaller venues would have absolutely increased ticket prices \u2026A LOT. Not sure if the vocal minority complainers are new discovery phase fans or scalper bots sewing discord but these are the facts folks and if I\u2019m lying you can sell my bones to Davey Jones.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIt\u2019s difficult to make a strict comparison between price points for this tour and 2025\u2019s Who the Fuck Is Johnny Blue Skies? Tour since Simpson largely played outdoor amphitheaters that year, and this is an arena run. But when Simpson came to Bozeman, Montana\u2019s Brick Breeden Fieldhouse on April 17, 2025, GA pit tickets were $149.50,<\/a> primo floor and lower sections seats were $129.50, and prices continued downward from $99.50 to $79.50, $59.50, and $49.50.\u00a0<\/p>\n
