Hey folks, thank you for the feedback.

If you're looking for a cheaper night out and want to get to know us better, please use the code 'metalgalaxy'' for our upcoming gig next week Thursday with Anna KiaRa (Ex-Imperial Age), Piano Black, and Rusalka at The Sound House—tickets start at €17 for 3 bands (early birds sold out, Drogheda was €14), https://thesoundhouse.ie/tc-events/piano-black-returns-special-anniversary-set-international-headliner/

Regarding the Workman's show: the €51 price tag is mainly because Eventbrite adds roughly  €1 transaction fees . After feedback We're currently looking into direct ticketing setups on our website to cut those third-party fees entirely and pass the savings on to fans. However, we're trying to figure out the best way to handle QR code check-ins and GDPR compliance, especially keeping in mind -  Ticket.ie who went bankrupt—we want a setup where ticket money is secure and fees stay low. If anyone has good ideas or recommendations for direct ticketing software, please share them!


Also, to clear up a quick assumption: I am actually originally Dutch, which is why you'll see a lot of Dutch content on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-EDgH7RyUMke9rbAl4QIdQ . Just have been at Brainstorm. We have been for four years a media outlet and started doing gigs since 2023. Our gig in Nov. with Fabienne Erni has been sold back then.

P.S. Regarding band sizes—Hellcats have been invited by the embassy and EU to play in Algeria, have headlined festivals, and their recent self-titled track has hit 92k views, so they are well established in Europe. They've toured with Temperance and main-supported Edge of Paradise for €20 back in the day when pints, venues, and fuel were cheap. Touring costs are now crazy with petrol being €2 a litre, venue rent has jumped up by 50% since 2023 alone, also flights have been increased with gear frequently getting lost.

In short, we calculated the festival ticket price to balance all rising operational costs while offering a full day of solid music. We review pricing against sales, and to help out anyone wanting to avoid online fees, we'll have €40 cash-in-hand Early Bird tickets available at the Sound House on the 19th Nov.

Apologies for any typos in previous posts—it's been a bit hectic balancing a full-time job, tour organization, festival coverage in the Netherlands, a local gig, and tons of editing as a small independent media and event team.

Bit confused. It's €47 if you go on your own, €42.5 each if you bring one friend, and if you want to "lock in" an early bird price you need to go to the other gig, which is €17. What is that price then if you do go to that?
