Me 30 mins ago: SOD IT! It's too expensive anyway!

Me now: *purchases 2 standing tickets for Sunday*

 

Probably the biggest U-turn since Liz Truss was in government. 

 

😆 i did the same tbf, at first it was 'wembley's shite, golden circle is a disgrace, £150 for standing? ffs' but then one half price for NHS workers deal and i'm researching milk carton costumes . . .

Haha exactly how I'm seeing it. With a full day at Bruce Saturday and 3 supports at Blur its like a little festival weekend as well

It's usually the unsocial date first for the hardcore then a nice weekend for 2nd show announced. Maybe they weren't automatically expecting the demand.

Its hard not to do it when a band plays that rarely, any moral stuff just goes out the window. 

I feel a bit less bad about the price I paid as its guaranteed really good lower tier seats (block 124), which means the gf can see and there's no messing around having to find a good spot

Second date lovely! Can’t wait for twickets the day before !!

That's the only way I will go. It's the same weekend as 2000 Trees so if AFI play there then it doesn't matter if the tickets are cheap as that's the gig I am waiting for. I've no interest in the Blur gig unless I can get really cheap. The support does nothing at all.

This has put them more in place for Glastonbury? Going from ' only UK show' to ' look an extra date'

Not for next year. For 2024 I think yes.

Same for me too - given that I missed Glasto 2009 I'm seeing this as a very belated shot at redemption!

Aaah I was there so it's full of nostalgia for me! That Blur set cemented my love for Glastonbury

Looks like Sunday standing has gone too.

So exactly what they did with Hyde Park BST in 2009. Still hope for Glasto then?

you beat me to it! though sunday sucks if you live on the south coast/out of london, and have to get back on the last train: mine is 22.46 on a sunday (typically 00.04 on the other six days of the week) so to get down to victoria from wembley, which is a right bloody pain in the arse, would mean leaving the gig at easily 21.45. almost certainly halfway through Parklife with actual Phil Daniels. fuck sunday gigs, theyre the bane of my existence  

Seconded. For me it's often a choice between leave early or spend an extra tenner for HS1 which leaves a bit later (but generally involves a lot more walking and faffing about). Not just Sundays either due to logistics most times. Last trains suck.

I can only really see them opening the other stage unannounced at Glasto, if they do make an appearance.

Blur are too big for that slot

Oh, I know they are. But after hearing the interviews I’m not so sure they will headline as possibly happy with 2009, so I don’t know where else they could play… if they play at all that is. I hope they do play though!

Hiya, on Wednesday I failed to get GC or standing for Saturday, so i chucked it thereafter. Would be happy to buy 2 Saturday standing from you. I can see loads of twickets tickets appearing nearer the time, but not necessarily standing on.

I am pretty surprised by Saturday selling out. And the second date. The motivation for these mega gigs is unclear to me, the blur publishing deal is apparently pretty egalitarian so I am surprised someone is skint. If there is reluctance to tour, due to addiction issues, that's understandable. 

[Zoo Music Girl]

Wow pretty surprised by that. Definitely looks like cost of living having no effect on high-priced gigs selling out then.

Not yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a different story next year for acts trying to sell tickets for 2024. I think they’re cashing in now, whilst they can, and then it’ll be playing festivals in 2024

You might well be right. Also I do think there will be a few tickets floating around for much less come the summer.

Deffo. A lot of those big gigs that sold out quickly for big money might well be attainable for less next year
