Sturgill Simpson Responds to Fan Complaints About High Ticket Prices for 'Mutiny for the Masses' Tour
Sturgill Simpson addresses fan concerns about ticket prices for his upcoming 'Mutiny for the Masses' tour, citing inflation and touring costs.
Johnny Blue Skies & the Dark Clouds – known to the world as Sturgill Simpson – recently launched ticket sales for their nationwide “Mutiny for the Masses” tour. Despite being in the pre-sale phase, some fans are expressing concerns about perceived high ticket prices.
In response, Simpson took to Instagram to address the complaints directly. He stated, “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.”
He further clarified that the only increase was a $10 hike for GA pit tickets. “There are even more lower price level tickets available this time because we are playing bigger venues,” he explained. “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.”

Comparing prices to Simpson's 2025 Who the Fuck Is Johnny Blue Skies? Tour is challenging due to the shift from outdoor amphitheaters to arenas. For instance, when Simpson played Bozeman, Montana’s Brick Breeden Fieldhouse on April 17, 2025, GA pit tickets cost $149.50, primo floor seats were $129.50, and other tickets ranged from $99.50 to $49.50.
Currently, only platinum tickets are available without a pre-sale password. Online forums, like these threads on Reddit, reflect fan discontent regarding potential price increases, despite Simpson's claims. A representative for Simpson has not yet commented.
Many artists are adjusting ticket prices due to inflation and rising gas prices. The Harry Styles fan base also voiced concerns about ticket costs for his Madison Square Garden residency, although all 30 shows still sold out rapidly.
