Johnny Blue Skies is doing all he can keep his ticket prices low for the pirates looking to set sail with him and his band – The Dark Clouds – this fall. The artist formerly known as Sturgill Simpson is still riding high off the release of Mutiny After Midnight. His second album underneath the new JBS moniker was a funky, disco country record, and it was originally only available via physical media (vinyl, CDs, cassettes). Johnny Blue Skies even shared that the unique rollout of his latest album led to the biggest “first week” of any project of his career. Which is wild, because it really just came through an organic, grass roots movement. No interviews. No performances. Nothing extra… just a whole lot of memes posted through social media. So the obvious next step is to capitalize on that momentum and take the pirate ship/show on the road. Sturgill Simpson shared on April Fools Day that he and his band would be setting sail for a Mutiny For The Masses Tour. And earlier today, the “Situation” singer shared that he’s aiming for tickets to the new tour to be the exact same price as they were last year, despite rising costs across the board: “Inflation, fuel, and all other related touring costs have increased exponentially in the last year. However, despite some saying otherwise, I’m afraid our ticket prices have not. High end ticket and low end ticket prices are the exact same, and the average ticket price is the exact same. I know because I insisted on it. 1. Tickets are the exact same prices they were last tour 2. The ONLY tickets that have increased are the GA Pit section in front of the stage (up $10 from last tour) 3. There are even more lower price level tickets available this time because we are playing bigger venues. 4. Playing smaller venues would have absolutely increased ticket prices …A LOT Not sure if the vocal minority complainers are new discovery phase fans or scalper bots sewing discord but these are the facts folks and if I’m lying you can sell my bones to Davey Jones.” View this post on Instagram Great to see Johnny Blue Skies doing all he can to make sure fans don’t spend all of their loot on his concert tickets. Those looking to grab tickets should know that general on-sale begins at 10 a.m. central time on Friday, April 10. Pre-sale actually started earlier today (April 8), and in an attempt to keep scalpers away, Mutiny For The Masses is utilizing the Ticketmaster Face Value Exchange and AXS Resale programs. That’ll allow fans to resell their tickets to other fans at the original price point, if necessary.
