how much does/have new order usually charge for tickets to their shows? and who decides price?

That's not bad at all! Are their shows usually general admission type things or theres different pricing per area, etc.?
Seems most bands are going for $50-300 half the time these days. 
I went to see another favorite band of mine at a local arena lastyear, and for seated area tickets.. behind the stage is cost me over 260 US dollars for two tickets! meanwhile the GA tickets were like 50 dollars. 
I mean, like what the fuck?!
I'm a youngin', but was 14 quid back in 1983 considered average for show tickets back then? I was discussing with a friend today about tickets. She's seeing a band she likes in a few weeks and even for nosebleeds, its costing her a fortune. Really sad.
I'm glad New Order hasn't succumbed to that kind of shit.
Is it usually the bands or venues that essentially end up deciding on the price of tickets? At least with the 'bigger' bands, like the Rolling Stones, Green Day, U2, RHCP, etc.?
When "owned" byan insane Engerlish record label....next to fuck all.
When really owned by a greedy Us multinational consumer farming outfit, too damn much (although, in fairness inflation pays a part and they don;t take the piss as bad as some)
Ps, Anyone who feels the need to say something about me having me heed up me arse and living in a dream world where factory never died, forget it, my head is so far up there I wont hear you.
Is the question, how much New Order 'charge' a promoter, or how much a ticket costs for a gig? If it's the latter then it's surely got f'all to do with the band and down to the people putting them on?
In Brazil some of the tickets rose to as much as 400 Reais (Brasilia VIP was certainly that much). That's roughly 100 GBP. This, in a country, where the average monthly wage is perhaps a third of that price! Makes you think.

I'm confused.
I meant, who's behind how much the tickets cost? Any band. Or does it vary per band? Like however they decide on it through a contract, as to how and who decides on the concert prices, etc.?

That's odd. What are your theories on this?
I'm sure there's more to that as to an explanation. If its regarding New Order, that is. I couldn't see them over-charging anything like that, unless something else was behind it, like the record label or Brazil's government. Like I said, I don't know how this stuff works.

The record company decides, you mean?

God, I'm really confused now. LOL!
For the second part, I think he means that when NO were on Factory Records,the gigs cost fuck all, but now they're on a major, the price has raised quite a bit

When New Order were on Factory they played smaller venues and it was 15+ years ago.
9 notes for G-Mex 88 seemed extortionate at the time. You could go to gigs for 4-5 quid then, so it was effectively double the price.
At the end of the day, it's simple economics. Nothing to do with the band whatsoever. Promoters will charge what they think they can get away with.
Use PompeyOrder economics on this one.
1986, GMex = £10 = 10 pints
2006, £45 = 20 pints
Prices go up at an average of half a pint a year.

The figures I've heard is around 50K USD per gig.
And for Miss "I wanna know everything".. bands increased the price for gigs because it's there they now make their money since the mp3 revolution...
I remember Moby blogging about this... saying how funny it was that Pearl Jam has poor record sales, but they pack arenas... saying the true value of a band is how they can fill venues.
4 or 5 years ago, gig prices seemed to rocket. I don't know if it was for insurance, health and safety or any other factor. One year I was paying £15 to see top bands, the next it had gone to £30 plus outrageous booking fees.
I've seen the Order for a fiver before.

Yes, indeed - another example is Muse, whose latest album sold reasonably well (not in the bucketloads), however they still managed to sell out Wembley Stadium (i.e. the football stadium not yet finished) TWICE! 
So, yeah, Moby's probably got a point - it's not the record sales anymore (as a lot of people will have downloaded MP3's from P2P networks, and not actually paid any money for the album), but how quickly the gigs sell out nowadays...
In recent years, have not they (the concert industry) used the excuse that they jack up ticket prices cost to keep the tickets out of the hands of the ticket brokers/scalpers and let the fans get tickets fairly while letting the acts/talent get the upcharge instead of the scalpers
Can't believe anyone paid £14 for a gig in '83,I certainly never did.I remember going to see N.O.,ACR & the Mondays at GMEX in Dec'88 for,I think,under £15 while 12 months later after Madchester exploded,the Mondays were charging £20 just to see them on their own! I'll have to dig out my stubbs to be certain,but I'm sure I never paid more than a tenner to see anyone in the '80's,even at the Hac.I've just paid £14 or so to see !!!,The Longcut & The Whip at the Ritz,proper value,& this is 24 years later!
Do I win 4p?

In answer to my last post,El Jarvo has done it for me!
Fuck me,was it only £9?!! Was better value than I thought!
If I win 4p,you can have it!
