Always saw it as more about the atmosphere (which I actually think is why a lot look down at Oasis, bit football culture and not music focused. I like a mixture myself), though the full band version of Champagne Supernova back then is one of the best things I've seen, and it was great to see it back last year in Liam's set.

-TLR- Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 just had a "new this week" email pop up from ticketmaster so thought i'd have a scroll through... Smashing Pumpkins at the O2 - just a normal everyday GA standing ticket... £187.35 ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! hang on, i better just check i was looking at the right thing.... yep, sure enough, £187.35 ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! faaaaaaaakin' hell.... i am so glad i've seen everyone i want to see as i can't see myself ever going to a gig ever again. i feel so sorry for younger people - back in the day we were out at gigs all the time, multiple gigs a week - these days i couldn't afford to go to a gig a month - and even if i could i wouldn't pay it on principle. its just completely f**ked.

Only wanted standing. Got 4 for Sheffield virtually instantly. Price is a scandal mind you. I think I mainly managed it by focusing on the Sunday (on current train timetable we have to stay over - Foos on the Saturday has pushed hotels so high that day and very much hoping we can't make the Glastonbury weekend dates!). I refreshed just that one on Seetickets and managed to bag 4 standing. Assuming most tried the Saturday first before moving on, giving me a short window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birmingham Arena was £85 for standing so I have no idea how the sh*t London is that much more (and I checked both Ticketmaster and venue itself and got quoted £188 as well, which is bananas) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-TLR- Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 just had another look and it says this along with the ticket (Pumpkins london GA): they can get f**ked. (for the record i wouldn't pay £85 either). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 I'm in for Pumpy and the lads, at a cool £87 a pop. Got a soft-spot for the slap-headed Winnie the Witch voiced wrestling enthusiast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal Monkey Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 £175 for Pumpkins and Weezer is shocking. Surge pricing can do one. I saw Tool at the O2 twice for that price which now seems like a bargain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
