Linkin Park are playing six tour dates in 2024, and the prices have been released, with some fans saying Ticketmaster is using their ‘dynamic pricing’ on Reddit. A fan posted, “I was able to get two tickets, thankfully. Was waiting since 10am today – the ticket prices changed for the 12pm slot, legacy got em cheaper. “Dynamic” pricing at work – f’ing Ticketmaster!”
Another said, “I’m still in the queue because ticketmaster screwed me in the first minute, but at this point it’s more about curiosity, I’ve got no expectations that there will be tickets after the now, checks phone, 48 thousand people in front of me.
Curious as to how bad the resale is going to be, but I’m also hopeful the 2025 tour will be much more manageable.
I tell you what though, being a Taylor Swift fan for as long as I’ve been a Linkin Park fan, since the early 2000s, really lowered my ticketmaster expectations ahead of time.
In an update, I got through and surprisingly they had third level/nosebleeds for about $130-$150.”

Linkin Park fans were recently hit with shocking news as longtime drummer Rob Bourdon has departed the band. As one of the founding members, Rob’s contributions helped shape the signature sound that made Linkin Park a global sensation. His steady rhythms were a backbone for hits like “In the End” and “Numb,” making his departure feel like the end of an era.
After teasing the fans for weeks, on September 5, Linkin Park announced their comeback through a live stream event where they performed with two new members: vocalist Emily Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain.
They also announced a new album ‘From Zero’, shared a new single ‘The Emptiness Machine’ and announced a short world tour beginning this month. It marks their first new music since the death of Chester Bennington in 2017.
Mike Shinoda reveals Rob Bourdon left Linkin Park
Rob Bourdon has remained the most private member of the group and kept a low profile since the hiatus. In a chat with Billboard following their comeback, Mike Shinoda revealed that Bourdon, who had founded the band with him and guitarist Brad Delson had decided to depart the band.
Shinoda explained: “Rob had said to us at a point, I guess it was a few years ago now, that he wanted to put some distance between himself and the band. And we understood that — it was already apparent. He was starting to just show up less, be in less contact, and I know the fans noticed it too. The ‘Hybrid Theory’ re-release and ‘Papercuts’ release, he didn’t show up for anything. So for me, as a friend, that was sad, but at the same time, I want him to do whatever makes him happy, and obviously everybody wishes him the best.”
Acclaimed songwriter and musician Colin Brittain, who has worked with the likes of G Flip, Illenium and One OK Rock has been named the replacement.
Linkin Park have also announced a short world tour which will see six arena shows across the world between September and November this year. The tour will kick off at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on September 11. Other stops include New York, Germany, London, South Korea and Colombia. Linkin Park’s LP Underground fan club pre-sales begin on September 6 and general tickets go live on September 7.
