Probably lives in a squalid house with rugs for wallpaper and spent incense sticks everywhere too. Cat hair all over the couches and watches Office Space at least once a week. Probably. Edit - Thinking about it I've just based that entirely on my mate's fat scabby ex I don't know why I've applied it to Morissette.

frank_spencer Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 In my head gigs are still priced as they were in 1998 So hop and grape is a fiver MDH a tenner Academy 15 quid Apollo 20-30 Arena about 45/50 75 for an all dayer at the cricket club.

Site Supporter Spider Posted March 2, 2020 Author Site Supporter Share Posted March 2, 2020 Like Frank says, I still think more than £30 for anyone is a joke. A quick look though and the likes of Elbow, Stranglers, Weller, Jason Donovan are all charging £50+ Black Crowes are £80. Keeps the riffraff out I suppose.

Members Rudy Posted March 2, 2020 Members Share Posted March 2, 2020 Nile Rodgers and The Specials I catch them every time they’re around and usually pay £50, but they’re belting gigs. Stevie Wonder is the only one I’d pay £100 for because I have never have and might not get many more chances to see him. Neil Young would a get a slice of my reddies but fuck knows which Neil would turn up. It could be the country rock Neil Young or it could be the Electro robot voice Neil Young. I saw him climb in a sleeping bag onstage and lie down and sing from that. Batshit crazy that mon. Unless the Doors resurrect Jimmy Morrison and do a comeback gig at the go go everyone else can get to fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I went to it and it must have been 120 degrees in there. Think they oversold tickets too as it was fckin rammers, but my god what a gig.

I was at that too, drenched from head to toe when i got out It was a warm up gig for Glastonbury and probably the best time and venue to see them after 3 albums But they could've opened to side doors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a sold out arena tour later that year I think but they were at the top of their game that night. Buying 4 Red Stripe to avoid queueing in that heat basically meant I was drinking Lager Tea for an hour. Great night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not in Crawley Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Depends what it is, I’ve sold tickets at £70 for a film with an orchestra. Bands/artists people will pay through the nose for premium seats. You tailor the cheaper seats for different targets. Festival business is still massive, even the small business has ones do very well. Download is second only to Glastonbury in terms of selling out, Leeds and Reading been tougher this year apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
