I went to Green Day and The killers but can't remember what the arrangement was and never went down the front. However, paid an extra £20ish this year for KOL upgrade to golden circle. I received an email a few days before the event offering me an upgrade, As it seemed a lot cheaper then most Golden Circle offers, I decided to go for it.
I have no idea if they decided to keep the Golden Circle tickets cheapish or they tried to sell them at a high price and never shifted enough and so offered them cheap to people with standard tickets. I think I got the offer as an AMEX card holder.
Yes - it's very locked in on a couple of layers.
AEG have a contract that gives them exclusive rights to promote concerts Hyde Park, which they use to put on BST.
Separately, there's also a licencing limit on the number of concerts that are allowed to take place at Hyde Park annually (7 at 65,000 capacity plus 2 at 50,000 capacity), which is maxed out by the 3 BST weekends
Basically, the only way a non-BST show could take place is with the consent of AEG, and it'd have to be instead of one of the BST event days.
I guess theres so few left now choice is limited , thought they might have tried a few more less knowns though with fewer well known gaffs / misspeaks that would look to the electorate like the same old lot
Badenoch effectively saw the moderates coalescing around her when she got to the final 2 so it’s not a huge surprise. For all the red meat thrown by Badenoch to the base this is similar to what it would have looked like had the more moderate candidates won.
At least Jenrick didn’t win. While I doubt he is a genuine right winger, he would have required the true believers to keep him in place.
I have another 4 years before my daughter goes. Watching a Martin Lewis interview he seemed to think any negative impact would be offset by an increase in the maintenance loan.
