That was fun and also one of the hottest gigs I've ever seen. But yeah I'm aware the price of these things has escalated sharply in the last 5 years in particular.

Expand I think the fact a lot of stadium-size acts are selling out with tickets in excess of £100 a ticket is giving everyone else ideas that this is now what they should be charging. Which feels like the moment it prices me out given my reluctance to go above £90 and outright refusal to go over £100. But it is what it is I guess.

NorthernSoul52 Posted Thursday at 10:47 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:47 AM Nine Inch Nails a fascinating one, because they did one of the best gigs I've ever seen in my life, and saw them over the same weekend that I caught Prince. (Not sure that weekend will ever be topped musically in my life.) Could be tempted, but would need the onsale to wait until I've filed my taxes!

Some stadium acts have talked about bringing an orchestra with them for years without committing so good for her to just get in and do it no messing. Presumably the names on the Just Like Heaven line-up is a first announcement with further to come down the line. Or the leaked names by the billboard firm who didn't get the postponement memo, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
