Unlike other fests, we think ticket fees are BULLSHIT.
That's why we were the first fest - and ONLY fest - to FIGHT Ticketmaster in 2023 to include any extra fees into the price of the ticket.
At Mad With Power fest, WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU PAY.
Because we include the fees in our tickets, we lose ~25% to Ticketmaster on every ticket purchased. Patreon support from fans like you helps us make up the difference. Fans on Patreon get a bunch of extra perks, free merch, behind-the-scenes content, early access to tickets, and MUCH more.
We're going to continue to fight ticketing fees and eat the costs no matter what. Adding an additional 25% at the end of your ticket checkout sucks. As a person who supports live music, it's disrespectful to you and downright slimy, and that's why Mad With Power fest will always fight to keep those fees out of our fans' experience.
We greatly appreciate fans who join our metal army to help eliminate the scourge of "convenience" fees. If you're unable to join our Patreon at this point, that's OK! Any tickets left will go on sale on Wednesday, February 26.
See you in the pit!
