Whatever they do there will likely be a loophole. I think having to login would put up a significant barrier to all but the most techy though and is fairly straightforward.
There is a limit to how far they can go because this all costs and the tighter it is the higher those costs are. Does anyone really want the show funding to be hit to pay for this? Or higher ticket prices?
Thats probs £60 at brixton academy - which tracks with how much it costs for gigs there these days - think im out. Good info though, very useful 👍 Had pencilled in a plan to do the Bermondsey beer mile that saturday with some mates, and it could be ambitious to tack on a Pogues gig at the end of it, i might not be able to do both!
SZA was the imperfect storm though. Your rank-and-file armchair punter will definitely have heard of Olivia Rodrigo ("that new pop princess the kids keep banging on about!"), Sam Fender ("he reminds me of a young Bruce Springsteen, that boy!") and The 1975 ("my god, I loved Auf Wiedersehen, Pet!").
