The English band announced their North American tour around Mid-March, where they state upfront that they face priced tickets to benefit fans and have made efforts to block scalpers and the ingloriously inflated resale prices. The tour sold out in minutes, and drama ensued with lead singer Robert Smith versus the Ticketmaster platform, as they were continuously selling “platinum seats” for more than double the price. In the end, Smith won the battle and it’s safe to say that tickets went to all of the goth rock fans in Houston.
