I’ve noticed though that recently it’s been much more of a bunfight to secure tickets for any popular gig than previously. It’s not just battling other punters, but now the forces of evil

 

Agreed - it's gone from difficult to nigh on impossible.

 

Makes me fear for what malign sorcery See Tickets have in store for us in the next few weeks.

As a proud landfill indie fan, this was me with Community Festival last year. Paid £55 to see 4 of my favorite bands (Two Door + Wombats + Vaccines + Sea Girls). Literally the best day lineup ever for me. Seeing all the talk of Springsteen tickets in this thread for £200 making me glad that loads of my favorite bands can be seen for about a quarter of that price on tour. 

 

Indeed that. It's slightly higher than I thought it would be but I think all 4 bands are better than all of those with what they'll play right now. But that's me. I wouldn't touch that lineup for £55 but that's just different eras of it. I've been waiting for the chance since 2016 to see The Coral again and I'm virtually getting those 5 for just over £13 just for tickets alone. There is a bit of hope with returning indie bands on the seen at Glastonbury that a couple might get booked but I don't think I'll get the job from them that I will on that day. With it opening at 1pm I'd say even We Are Scientists are going to get 45 minutes. The Coral is just a standard set which is great. If I ever fancied seeing Kaisers again it would be for employment plus a couple of extra tacks as they were a two albums band weren't they.

Think my biggest worry about the whole AXS fiasco at my end is how it bodes for Springsteen next week. Imagine Ticketmaster will run mains on Co-op Live, but for Anfield again, probably rules me out due to the bot situation.

Get a co op card to get a chance at the co op pre sale, try the live nation pre sale too (I got in for Wembley for that without much bother). Two extra chances

Already one step ahead with Co-Op and LN. It's going to be bloody. The Greasy Lake community seem convinced there will be drops down the line - and I'm sure there will be - but there will be virtually nothing coming south of three figures beyond this initial sale.

 

By dumb luck, I got the bottom price tier for Dublin and London this year. I'm already off to Milan next year on the same rung. This is more for my family, who I want to take - but they also always ask about ticket prices, and I know they'll feel uncomfortable accepting them as gifts if I've ended up bleeding more on them.

£15.15 in fees on two tickets is absolute daylight robbery.

Oh, it gets worse than that, believe me.

 

Has anybody found out the Springsteen prices yet?

The fees amounting to £15% of the ticket price feels particularly egregious to me.

Billy Joel yesterday wasn't quite that high in percentage. Think it was 13%, pushing your £160 ticket up to £180 or so.

The usual I'd imagine, all the sales they've been involved in last few weeks have been completely normal for them, site sometimes crashes and sometimes doesn't, refreshing etc. I know people were moaning about them for Oasis and Coldplay but they just worked as they normally do, people just have less patience nowadays

I still paid it 🙈

[NorthernSoul52]

In my Billy Joel queues. Places weren't horrific, but think I'll struggle for my price.

No coconut on AXS.

Fat Whites doing three nights in East London in December. Tickets went on sale this morning. Sounds intriguing/terrifying

 

Welcome to Counter-Vortex 360° the first, the ONLY immersive performance experience of its kind. Anywhere. Inspired by that massive round thing U2 played in recently, we’ve decided to reinvent the stage itself. These performances will be impossibly intimate, maybe MORE intimate than you’re ok with, in which case, maybe don’t bother. We don’t necessarily want or NEED your money. This is serious. This is for real. Tickets extremely limited. Buy one (on Friday) COUNTER-VORTEX 360°…more than just a way of being.

[NorthernSoul52]

YES COCONUT ON AXS!

Cheers fella, much appreciated.

 

Hope those sweet, sweet Piano Man tunes get to Deep Space 9 soon enough too.

My neighbours will attest to my plaintive wailing of An Innocent Man in the shower on occasion - thats an absolute banger of galactic proportions. Would love to see him but the dates and the venues aint fallen right just yet (and it keeps spiralling ever higher in cost too ffs) 

 

 

edit: im talking about Billy Joel here, not the worst Olly on the planet among many bad ollys!
