Air Tickets

Did you ever think you’d have to buy tickets to access Air? No – pollution hasn’t gotten that bad, we were just making an apocalyptic joke. We’re actually talking about the 90’s band Air, who were some of the first in what we would now call the “chillstep” genre, though that term didn’t exist back then.

Chillstep is a sub-genre of dubstep, which is a sub-genre of electronic dance music, so that’s your vocabulary lesson of the day. Chillstep is known for its electronic sounds and underlying bass but lacks that heart-pounding energy most EDM has. Instead of being the kind of music you listen to when you want to get pumped up, Chillstep, our suggested genre categorization for Air, is the kind of music you’d put on while you were studying or cleaning the kitchen. It’s relaxing, intriguing, and almost impossible to stop listening to once you’ve started!

Wave Riders

Air got their start as members of a band named Orange. The two friends, Jean Benoit Dunckel and Nicolas Godin, separated from Orange in 1995, to create what would become, Air. They had good timing – it was the beginning of the French Electronica phase, which produced the famous French duo, Daft Punk.

Let’s Go on a Moon Safari!

Air rode the Daft Punk wave all the way into a record contract with Virgin in 1998. They put out their first album that same year. Between the two of them, they’ve put out eight albums in the twenty-plus years they’ve been making music. Not too bad! It’s been a while since they released something new, so we’re expecting new music from them anytime now.

Air ticket prices will differ depending on the source and the seats. The best price for Air tickets is usually around $67 a ticket, and that’s for nosebleed seats! If you want floor seats, or if you’re shopping for tickets at a popular venue, you could easily be looking at a few hundred dollars more.

How to buy Air tickets?

Air ticket prices are going to be pretty high if purchased directly from the box office. That means the best way to buy cheap Air tickets is online through a ticket marketplace. Ticket marketplaces like Gametime are perfect because they put you in contact with resellers looking to move seats at a relative bargain. It’s the safest and most affordable way to get the best price for Air tickets.

How long is an Air concert?

With such an epic setlist, you can expect Air’s performance to last for around 90 minutes, from start to finish. When you take opening acts into account, you’re looking at two to three hours of entertainment. 

How much are Air floor seats?

The best way to see Air live is up close and personal from the floor, but these seats are always super expensive. The cheap end of floor seats can easily be $89 to $121, and if you’re seeing Air at a venue with stage pit seats it could be even more pricey.

Of course, there are ways around this. There’s a great strategy for cutting Air ticket prices on floor seats and the best part is that it requires you to do literally nothing but wait. Waiting until the last minute can get you some great discounts because resellers with unsold seats don’t make any money. Wait it out and watch those prices drop to something more affordable, and then enjoy your floor seats!
