The summer tour announcements keep piling up, and Duran Duran recently announced a U.S. tour to add to the growing list. Their 2016 run kicks off on March 28 at the Durham Performing Arts Center in North Carolina and will run until August 3 in Glendale, Arizona, making 28 stops in total, according to a report from Rolling Stone. The tour will include 1970s band Chic and Nile Rodgers as opening acts, and although tickets to see Duran Duran went on sale on December 12, prices are rising fast on the secondary market.

Duran Duran had a busy 2015 and has showed no sign of slowing down for the upcoming year. In September, the English rock group released their 14th studio album, Paper Gods, which featured guest appearances from an eclectic lineup of artists like Janelle Monae, ex-Red Hot Chili Pepper guitarist John Frusciante, Mark Ronson and even actress Lindsay Lohan. The album pushed the band to new heights, as it became their highest charting release in 22 years.
As it stands, Duran Duran tickets are averaging $240 across all scheduled dates, according to data provided by TiqIQ. The band is on track to play their priciest show in Kansas City on July 24 at Starlight Theatre, where tickets are averaging $452 with the cheapest ticket available for a whopping $357. Right behind that date is the band's April 23 stop at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in Texas, where tickets are averaging $367 with the cheapest ticket available for just $32. On the other side of the spectrum, the band will play their cheapest show on July 21 at the Susquehanna Bank Center in Philadelphia where tickets are averaging $144, with the cheapest ticket available for $23.
With a low get-in price, fans may be better off booking Philadelphia flights through Hipmunk.com for the July 21 show. To pair with the flight, a Philadelphia hotel on Hipmunk starts from $65 to complete the planning of travel logistics.
