The Cure have announced a 30-date tour across North America, including three nights each at LA's Hollywood Bowl and New York's Madison Square Garden.

Though the band’s last studio album was 2008’s “4:13 Dream,” frontman Robert Smith has regularly teased a new body of work from the band throughout the past few years. [The Cure](https://variety.com/t/the-cure/) is hitting the road for a North American trek that includes three dates each at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl and New York’s Madison Square Garden. Notably, the announcement pointed out that the Cure has mandated that “there will be no ‘platinum’ or ‘dynamically priced’ tickets on this tour,” apart from a few Hollywood Bowl charity seats.

British goth rock legends the Cure will return to St. Paul's Xcel Energy Center on June 8 and the band is promising tickets are priced “to benefit fans.”.

For reference, the Cure’s previous concert at the X in 2016 – [which was their first local gig in 20 years](https://www.twincities.com/2016/06/08/the-cures-first-local-show-in-20-years-makes-up-for-lost-time/) – was priced from $85 to $25. In the 21st century, they have released three albums, the most recent of which was 2008’s “4:13 Dream.” The Cure emerged in 1978 with a tense, post-punk sound that later expanded into goth and psychedelic rock, off-kilter pop and even dance music. The press release announcing the concert added that “apart from a few Hollywood Bowl charity seats, there will be no platinum or dynamically priced tickets on this tour.” Paul’s Xcel Energy Center on June 8 and the band is promising tickets are priced “to benefit fans.” [Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan](https://www.ticketmaster.com/the-cure-saint-paul-minnesota-06-08-2023/event/06005E49D7DE7A3B) program and fans must register by noon Monday, with tickets going on sale at 10 a.m.

It also makes money twice on verified resale tickets – once on the original sale, then another fee on the resale. A check of Ticketmaster prices on March 9 revealed the incongruities and absurdities of platinum pricing. The tour is scheduled to stop at the Smoothie King Center on Oct. A seat in floor section A, row 15 was listed for $996. Meanwhile, tickets being resold via Ticketmaster’s “verified resale” function ranged even high. The company makes much higher fees from pumped-up platinum ticket prices. A guy who sold his master recordings and songwriting catalog in 2021 to Sony for a reported $500 million. Only two principal members from the electronic band’s glory years, singer Dave Gahan and guitarist/keyboardist Martin Gore, remain. The enduring goth rock band revealed Thursday that its 30-date Shows of a Lost World North American tour would commence at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans on May 10. The optics on dynamic pricing are bad. The Cure isn’t using the Ticketmaster designations that can trigger considerable price increases and fluctuations depending on demand. And many veteran artists are using platinum pricing.

The band also called for secondary ticket sellers “to refrain from selling tickets to our shows.” Tickets for the tour haven’t gone on sale yet, but many Live Nation has repeatedly denied claims and has more recently grown more vocal in pushing for a [policy ](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/live-music-companies-co-sign-live-nation-anti-scalping-laws-1234692406/)that it said would empower artists while taking strategies away from scalpers. [Ticketmaster](https://www.rollingstone.com/t/ticketmaster/) —has faced considerable scrutiny from frustrated fans as well as lawmakers, who’ve questioned whether the company acts as a monopoly in the live music business. Despite those efforts, tickets remain listed on some secondary platforms, many for hundreds to thousands of dollars. “Our ticketing partners have agreed to help us stop scalpers from getting in the way; to help minimize resale and keep prices at face value, tickets for this tour will not be transferrable. Coupled with non-transferability to limit the secondary market, the band has, in theory, cut out the two most common ways consumers take on hefty premiums when trying to buy tickets for highly in-demand concerts.
