Post punk legends The Cure have announced long awaited tour dates for North American this summer. After revealing the dates and venues, the band quickly took a stand on the ticket pricing system and the infamous problems that arise when loyal fans attempt to purchase tickets. In a statement released via the Cure’s Instagram account reads:
“We want the tour to be affordable for all fans, and we have a very wide (and we think very fair) range of pricing at every show. Our ticketing partners have agreed to help minimize resale and keep prices at face value, tickets for this tour will not be transferable. If something comes up that prevents a fan from being able to use a ticket they have purchased, they will be able resell it on a face value ticket exchange.
Unfortunately, despite our desire to protect our low ticket prices for fans, the states of NY, IL, and CO make this very difficult – they actually have laws in place that protect scalpers! For fans in these states, we urge fans to buy or sell tickets to one another on face value exchanges like Twickets.live and Cashortrade.org. Fans should avoid buying tickets that are being resold at inflated prices by scalpers and the sites that host these scalpers should refrain from reselling tickets for our shows.”
Previously touring parts of Europe in 2022, this marks The Cure’s first tour of North America in seven years. Lead singer and guitarist Robert Smith has mentioned in the band working on a new album, but it has yet to be released. The Of a Lost World Tour will commence May 10, in New Orleans, Louisiana with The Twilight Sad as a supporting act. "The Fascination Street" rockers have opted for a verified fan registration, which allows fans to get exclusive access with a code to obtain the tickets. Tickets are on sale March 15 with verified fan access.
