2023 Festival

[Jack.194]

Yea £105 for front standing at Blink is insane, was going to get tickets but now hoping they’re at Reading so I can go for the day instead - the fact that a day ticket for Reading will be the same as their gig price says something

Oh, better yet, the tour poster on their Instagram is insanely misleading. Mentions both Turnstile and Rise Against (and more) supporting but no mention of the fact that it's ONE band per date, or which dates have who. My mate bought a standing ticket thinking he was getting Turnstile + others and now doesn't want to go at all.

Bit gullible? Yeah, but it shouldn't be his job to figure that shit out. Ridiculous. 

I thought it was pretty clear The Story So Far will be supporting them on their UK leg haha.

No indication at all on the poster from their story, that's the only one my mate had seen so just assumed it was everyone.

Yup. It’s well sneaky. Most bands indicate who’s supporting where

Yeah, I had a glorious moment where I thought I'd get blink + Wallows but nope they're only playing like four shows in Latin America. 

[gfa]

How is nobody talking about the fact Wallows are supporting Blink-182 😂

Yeah I thought that was pretty clear too on the original UK dates. It should be all of them for that price though.

Got blink tickets but £92 for standing is the most I've ever paid for an individual gig (I.E. not a festival), and it hurt clicking buy. But blink were literally my music taste for my whole teenage years (listened to like nowt else), had to be done. 

Now hearing some bollocks about standing being split into sections, if I've paid £92 per ticket and that doesn't give me free reign to stand where ever I please in the section I'll be very pissed.

Sell VIP bollocks with meet+greet and exclusive merch if you want but splitting up the standing section at an arena show (or any type of show to be honest) is just taking the mick to be honest. 

Did anyone figure this out? We didn't manage to get tickets in the end, but I'm actually debating not bothering due to pricing for the first time at these numbers.

Would £92 be the "front section" standing, with a lower price for the other? Which I completely agree with, is absolutely ridiculous.

Dropping Rex from my prediction due to him being accused of rape (I think no charges will be pressed, because the accusation doesn't seem...logical. Not in the way that its been presented so far.)

 He has been charged with a court date. The confusion seems to stem  from the fact the offence took place in 2021 not 2022 and a lot of outlets failed to report on that leading people to falsly believe he was in america during the alleged offence dates.

Oh fair enough, if there is a court date then their is relatively strong evidence, and he is a rapist. That's my mistake.

 

I saw the fact that she had gone back with him after a night out and slept with him, then slept with him multiple times the next day, and then left and came back a day later for more and assumed it was another case of somebody looking to blackmail a celebrity (ala Thomas Partey and the girl he was seeing before breaking up with her and her seeking revenge).

These are my prediction posters, one with Paramore, one with MGK, think I've now done all the updated artist logos now too.

American R&B singer, blown up massively this year with 'Bad Habit' (not Ed Sheeran haha) and 'Static' - instantly sold out his dates at the roundhouse, and reckon there's a lot of demand to see him, sort of booking which would look odd now, but make a lot more sense around the festival! Worth checking out though for sure if you like your R&B and acts like Childish Gambino and Tyler, The Creator.

Appreciate it.

So it is just straight £92 for a London standing ticket? My god.

I'm pretty sure London does have a front and rear standing last I checked. Birmingham appears to as well where it's £81 for rear standing and £103 for front standing. Manchester just had a single standing and was £92 a ticket. Pathetic prices all round.

To me, this honestly looks like one act took all the booking fee (Billie most likely). It’s extremely likely and I reckon the audience would love it - but to me it just looks like all the budget is going one way.

not that it’s much better, but it’s sexual assault he’s been accused of rather than rape.

It's 25 tomorrow, so it'll just be some limited edition thing they put out this year. I'd still rock up if they played Nimrod in full though, it's their third best for my money. 

2024 American Idiot anniversary tour is gonna be a wild one.

Green Day can't be that cheap but to an extent yes.
