Fans aren’t happy about My Chemical Romance’s ticket prices: “$695 is NASTY WORK”

My Chemical Romance fans are expressing dismay online at how expensive tickets for their 2025 North American stadium tour are.Earlier this week, following a cryptic teaser post that sent fans into a frenzy, the emo legends confirmed a tour celebrating their 2006 album ‘The Black Parade’ for next summer.Each show will feature a different hand-selected artist as opening support.

The eclectic range of acts drew a varied reaction from fans, with Violent Femmes, 100 Gecs, Wallows, Garbage, Death Cab for Cutie and Thursday, Alice Cooper, Pixies, Devo, IDLES and Evanescence each opening at a different date.Tickets for the tour went on sale yesterday (November 15) but have already prompted anger from some fans over their price, as well as the use of bots putting tickets for inflated prices on the secondary market.According to a screenshot of the Ticketmaster website, tickets were priced at anywhere from $63.50-$695 (£50.30- £550.58). “$695 is NASTY WORK COUNT YOUR DAYS MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE!!!!” one fan wrote on X/Twitter.“I love my chemical romance and I don’t judge anybody for complying but no way in hell will i ever be able willing or able to pay 700 bucks for a show,” another said.Others reported that ticket prices soared later on in the sale, prompting speculation among fans that the band had opted into dynamic pricing.

The controversial practice inflates ticket prices based on demand and it’s now understood that it can be turned on or off by artists.$695 is NASTY WORK COUNT YOUR DAYS MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE!!!!
