I’m surprised their still called pissants. When was the last time Piss or Aninmositsiomia were acknowledged in the set list since Paul left.
30 year history sounds like a pitch for the rock and roll hall of fame.
The Hall of Fame would be cool, but it’s not going to happen.
$100? no way. the last concert I went to was $25 well spent dollars on Jesu, thank you. rip off. for a band that’s so anti-fight the greedy bastards, this just takes the cake. Ministry, you won’t see-me-later.
Following the trend, I see. If you do a farewell concert, it seems customary to rip off the fans as much as you can. The setlist will probably suck as the last couple, but maybe a few gems in there. Surely not worth 100. Count me out.
maybe i missed something.
ministry in ANY configuration are not the eagles, grateful dead, etc…
100 dollars. wow. keep dreaming.
if they get it , good for them.
and i did say, “if”.
desperate times require desperate measures, someone once said.
someone else said “money won’t change you”. gee whiz. talk about a money grab.
they won’t get anything from me .
it’s highly possible that no one is willing to pay that much, and the tour will either be re-scheduled in smaller clubs or whatever or just flat out cancelled.
remember that it’s not 100 for every ticket, those are limited vip tix you know. if someone is willing to part with that much cash, so be it.
41.50 for general admission @ HOB chicago? that sucks.
As far as not playing Detroit, yeah I’d love to go see them at the State Theatre but the Emerald is worlds better than The Dump, I mean Harpos, where they played the last couple shows. The only way I’d go there is if Barker was still in the band.
The first and last time i ever went to Harpo’s was for Ministry. It was the show that Al started pissing on the pit back when Paul was in the band. But the drive to emerald from ann arbor blows. I don’t know why they don’t just play the majestic at this point in their career.
last ministry show in Australia was $66 I think, with probbaly like $50 US… or more the AUD and USD are pretty close at the mo… checks xe
$60 US…
So yeah, I’m used to paying high prices. But I wont pay upwards of $100 I dont think… ah… maybe… would depend on the set, the last ministry I bought was animos… so if it was all bish trilogy I wouldnt pay heaps for it.
On a side note, I’m seeing RATM in January at the big day out, tickets for side shows, of course, sold out flat chat and scalpers charging upwards of $800-1000 for 2x mosh tickets. SCREW THAT. I know they’re good and all, but that much to see ANY band is completely ridiculous… I won my BDO ticket, and paid a $35 mark-up from a scalper for my second ticket for the wife… but a 500% mark up [pirate] scalpers make me mad.
The tickets in the $100 price range are for VIP. In Houston general admission is only $38.
I might go balls out and get a VIP. Still deciding.

dude those Rage scalpers were the biggest cunts. Watching tickets hit 1000 bucks by like midday the day they went on sale. I know people who lined up, and missed out for tickets by like a minute.
Makes me friggin mad.
Also yeah, out here…high prices at ALL times. Any band who is well known (in the “mainstream recognition” sense) will be $100. Generally your overseas artists will be about 50-80.
I’m expecting Ministry…if they actually show up this time (they’d be what, 1 and 3 if they cancelled again?) … to hit the ~70 mark. At least.
I know it’s disgusting isn’t it? I love how on ebay they are all like “Oh I just happened to come across two extra tickets and I don’t have anyone to fill them, I’m not a scalper, honest”
If that were true, put up buy-it-now tix, with maybe a $30-40 markup if u really must to pay for your transport/drinks whatever as well. Fuckers.
On a different note, got this from Ministry mail list
For its spectacular two-and-a-half-hour “C U LaTouR”
set, Ministry will perform tracks from “The Last Sucker” as well as songs that revisit the band’s rich and provocative 30-year musical history. Archival Ministry videos plus other visual elements of alchemy, Christianity, politics and other topics aligned with Ministry will be incorporated into a special video presentation, produced by Wicked Lake director Zach Passero (with whom Jourgensen is collaborating on the soundtrack for the feature film) that will change night to night. And, as is expected from a Ministry show, you just never know what surprise guests will jump on stage for a song or two.
“A Ministry tour is a travelling circus,” states Jourgensen, “When we roll into town, everyone hides their daughters, but the freaks roll out the red carpet and a friend or two pops up on stage to add some spice and mayhem to the show. We never know who’s gonna walk through the dressing room door at sound check. We rehearse a bunch of ‘extra’ songs just in case so-and-so shows up…””
Interesting stuff… maybe it would be worth checking out… we’ll see what happens.
yeah, due to the overwhelming volume of people who got pissed off (and i know at least one who nearly cried in the ticket office) at missing out, i refuse to believe people “couldn’t find anyone to fill the seats”
yeah, due to the overwhelming volume of people who got pissed off
And that’s just the ex-bandmembers. [;)]
Talking about band Members whos in the touring lineup for this tour?
Also what happened to Mike Scaccia and Joey Jordison?
Not that Joey was any good but Mike Scaccia was brilliant everytime i saw him play with Ministry.
Irondream
Isn’t Joey with Korn now or something?
