I totally get that the BBC broadcast agreement helps keep the artist fees low and the calibre of acts high and that this also then helps prevent them having to raise ticket prices even further, but it still feels a bit wrong that as someone who is actually paying for a ticket, the experience we could have had is taken away in order to allow those watching for free at home the opportunity to watch the gig. I wasn't even planning to see NY if truth be told but the principle still stands and it just doesn't quite sit right with me (assuming we take NY's statement at face value). To be clear I don't know what the alternative is whilst still avoiding loads of corporate partnerships/sponsorship, more just giving my gut feel to the situation. I always think there is something quite magical when big gigs happen and they're not televised (think Led Zep reunion at the O2, Prince's intimate London gigs etc) and also in a similar vein but on a smaller scale, the banning of phones on dancefloors, which although not the same is pretty similar in my opinion. The magic happens for those there at that time and actually part of the magic is trying to hazily recall it rather than then being able to watch it back on TV and seeing it all packaged in a nice shiny box with a bow wrapped around it. I think these sort of special 'living in the moment' occasions become more and more important as we become ever more transfixed with always being connected on social media, glued to our phones etc so I doth my cap to NY on this occasion -
Are we saying that if one is on the ball, at the Rose Bowl, one could make his way into standing after having a nightmare in the Oasis sale and ending up with rather sh*t seats? Asking for someone else of course. -

How does Chappell have "zeitgeist" but Sabrina does not? I, for one, hope that we don't get all Primavera headliners in high Pyramid (headlining) spots. -
