Ticketmaster is a fucking joke! + WWWY Fest last minute cancellation + a TON more!
Oh, what a week we had. First, Ticketmaster showed us how greedy they were with their whole Dynamic Pricing model which they used to sell blink-182 world tour tickets. Let’s just say ticket prices were heavily overpriced as the demand for tickets was just insane. You better believe we talked heavily about this on this week’s podcast episode. Also! When We Were Young Fest’s first date of the year got canceled because of high winds in Las Vegas. It definitely wasn’t the start they’d hoped for. But it looks like Day 2 went off without a hitch. Besides that, there’s a lot of other stuff to talk about so read on!
As a reminder: We are now officially in Spooky Season. Not only does that mean every emo is happy and comfortable, but it also means that The All Punked Up Podcast will be embracing the Halloween month by sharing conspiracy theories and ghost stories to keep you hyped throughout the rest of the month. Don’t worry, we’ll still be doing the newsy stuff too. So if you aren’t following our podcast yet, now may be is the best time to do so. Here are the links to follow on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
OUT MONDAY: SCARY SHIT: The story of My Chemical Romance recording ‘The Black Parade’ in a haunted mansion
For this week's episode of The All Punked Up Podcast, Tyler rides solo but continues on with the Spooky Season theme. And what better way to continue it by talking about the band that brings the spooky vibes: My Chemical Romance. Did you know that My Chemical Romance recorded the highly successful ‘The Black Parade’ album in a haunted mansion called The Paramour Estate? And they ALL apparently had some really creepy and messed up experiences while there. The experiences were so messed up that it led to members of the band leaving the house well before schedule forcing them to find a new studio to record and finish the album. Well, here's that story.

Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing model will be bad for the touring industry
Last week was absolutely huge for pop-punk as you all remember the blink-182 and Tom DeLonge reunion was made official with the announcement of new music and a new world tour. Well, this week tickets went on sale for that tour and because of how Ticketmaster is doing ticket pricing (which is what they call Dynamic Pricing), it’s causing a lot of uproar in the scene. We’re going to talk about this and I’m going to say ahead of time before we start talking about it: This is something that CANNOT work long-term in its current form. It’s a real problem now and will cause more. But we’re going to talk about this in detail because John and I have some thoughts on this as I’m sure you do too. But on a lighter note, we’re also going to be talking about Shaq and his mosh-pit record, Garbage’s Shirley Manson shitting in her partner’s breakfast, and how birdsong is the way to help anxiety. Who knew?
