BST Hyde Park 2017

[judyblue110]

Phil Collins also has an announcement imminent, for tomorrow morning. 

Are the currently announced dates just a warm up tour for this show? Could be.

If teaconsumer says Bieber's next, it'll probably be Bieber next. Man knows his BST.

You also said IoW and were wrong there too. Double whammy of wrong.

Are prices for BST the same across the board for all headliners - or is there a variation depending on the perceived size of an act?

 

Annoying as it is, it looks like I might be one of those suckers getting a ticket as a christmas present for someone.

No varies. £79 to £699 for Mr Collins according to someone in the Glastonbury section on here

Fuck sake. What a c**t.

Cheers though.

No worries  obviously as usual with BST there's the caveat that they have a history of giving away any unsold tickets basically for free closer to the time, although there are probably enough rich middle-aged Tory's around to ensure ol' Phil sells out quite comfortably sadly

Wonder how much it'll be for the privilege of standing on a grandstand at a right-angle to the stage ... some of the £699 area looks like it'll have a restricted view too. Crazy talk

Is that the first time you've needed to pay a premium to get to the front? Sad times. Thought 95 quid for GA was bad enough but looks like you'll be miles away. No JohnL required! Diamond View is £450 if anyone has any spare change rattling around!

that is scandalous! Once again, AEG Live showing NO regard for the average joe punter. Shocking....

Paying to be in the front of the pit isn't unheard of at your big pop gigs these days, Beyonce makes a killing out of it for one example, it's really a surprise BST have taken so long to start doing it if this really is the first time. Not that that makes it okay mind.

It's not the first.  The first year had it but the stones made them change it for their gig

[dentalplan]

Aye, this is what it's been since day uno. It's a festival in a Royal Park sponsored by a credit card company.

[the wonderwhy]

Its the first time premium view has been split in to two tiers and stretched across the entire length of the stage though.

Anyone think Kasabian could be a shout for one of these/Olympic park?

I remember when they did their Leicester show this year they said they brought it forward a year because of the football success; a larger tour was maybe planned?

Doing R+L according to eFests info so they should be touring but not via BST.

They did that for the first year.  Bon jovi.  The Lionel Ritchie etc gigs had it

[kaip]

Same for the Sabbath gig there, the normal priced ticket only got you half way to the stage

Sabbath had early entry but ga could still get to the front

[DDave]

Hyde Park gig looming?

[Pop Punk Sucks]

Would be pretty crazy if they were booked for Hyde Park and Download. Bet a lot of their fans would be annoyed they bought Download tickets.
