GOT SIX BUCKS AND AN EVENING TO COMPLETELY WASTE? GO SEE CREED

Every now and then, something happens to make me feel like there really is some justice in the world.

So while it looks Limp Bizkit are going right back to being the mega-stars they never deserved to be in the first place, at least Creed – possibly one of the most worthless musical acts, like, ever – aren’t doing so hot.

From a recent news report on the band’s recent concert in Birmingham, Alabama:

Tickets for Creed’s concert here on Friday are going for rock-bottom prices: 75 cents each, plus a Ticketmaster service charge.

A recent search for two tickets on the Ticketmaster site resulted in a $6 total charge: $0 for the tickets, 75 cents each as a convenience charge and an order processing fee of $4.50.

That’s a far cry from the price range, $35-$85, initially announced for the 7:30 p.m. show at the BJCC Arena.

Did anyone see it coming? Well, the performance, originally scheduled for Sept. 12, was postponed to Oct. 16. The lowest rung of tickets dropped to $15, then $10. It reached a new low today, according to an e-mail from promoter Red Mountain Entertainment.

The article goes on to say that the band sold-out the same venue ten years ago.

I don’t know what’s more pathetic: that the band quite literally can’t sell tickets, or that anyone would actually pay 600% more in TicketBastard service fees than the cost of admission (‘Cause at this point, you gotta assume you could just, y’know, go to the box office the night of the gig.).

Between this and the fact that Scott Stapp can’t sing anymore (if he could ever sing), you gotta wonder about Creed’s future. I mean, I guess if Jani Lane can still have a career, Stapp should still be able to get someone to come see – but hopefully this means Creed’s days of playing large venues are over.

If anyone else hears any stories of Creed completely failing to sell concert tickets, please let us know. Remember that Stapp once beat his wife and smiled about it, so the fucker deserves whatever ills befall him.
