Neil Young<\/strong> is making some changes\u00a0to how he sells tickets to his concerts. In a post on his Neil Young Archives<\/strong><\/a> site, the rocker shares that\u00a0“very soon” he’ll stop\u00a0selling Platinum tickets to his shows, which are often much more expensive than a regularly priced ticket.<\/p>\n

Explaining why he sold them in the first place, Young writes, \u201cMy management and agent have always tried to cover my back on the road, getting me the best deals they could. They have tried to protect me and my fans from the scalpers who buy the best tickets and resell them at huge increases for their own profits.\u00a0Ticketmaster\u2019s High priced Platinum tickets were introduced to the areas where scalpers were buying the most tickets for resale. The money went to me. That did not feel right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Young noted that by getting rid of the Platinum tickets, there\u2019s a good chance more scalpers will get their hands on tickets and then resell them at higher prices.\u00a0But he shares, \u201cI have decided to let the people work this out. Buy aggressively when the tickets come out or the tickets will cost a lot more in a secondary market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Young’s move to stop selling Platinum tickets\u00a0appears to be inspired by The Cure<\/strong>\u2019s Robert Smith<\/strong>, who kept ticket prices for their 2023 North American tour to under $70. Along with the post about the Platinum tickets, Young shared an interview<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in which Smith discussed the current state of ticketing, claiming\u00a0it was \u201cdriven by greed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Neil is set to kick off his love earth tour with The Chrome Hearts<\/strong> on June 18 in R\u00e4ttvik, Sweden. It hits the U.S. Aug. 8 in Charlotte, North Carolina. A complete list of dates can be found at\u00a0NeilYoungArchives.com.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
