Fuck that. Fuck that so hard it prolapses. Anyone know of anywhere they may be available at around half as much? They were EIGHT pounds to watch when I saw them at the academy in manchester about 20 years ago. Cunts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Nah, you'll get nowt. Same with my daughter 'Dad, for my birthday can I get Arctic Monkeys tickets..' 'Darling, they've been onsale for months, even your step mum wanted tickets because Hives are supporting but no tickets now. We'll go through about how to buy tickets for big bands..." 'Yeah..not bothered now..' 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Coldplay but they were bloody awful that night. Remember you could hear the crowd talking over them and the air was blue with skunk smoke.

I know it's easy to knock them. The scientist is a good song, yellow was ok. They seem like nice lads, recorded a video for their biggest song at our ground and they aren't the Red Hot Chilli Peppers so all things considered. They are just a by-word for bland. Bit like The Stereophonics. Music for accountants in Hertfordshire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for now that’s fine because he was heading down a route of listening to “modern R&B” which was just awful. If Coldplay are his gateway to better things, I’m fine with it. I took him to watch Pearl Jam last summer which I think helped him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the only way many bands can make money nowadays. Having said that just booked two tickets for my new favourite band Thus Love at the Watermill in Brixton for £5.99 each!

Moderators Carlos Posted January 19, 2023 Moderators Share Posted January 19, 2023 Just had a look at my ebay history, sold a Coldplay Blue Room CD for £26 in 2005. Worth £50 now, so about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually a cracking price considering her status. Still won't be mildly tempted though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
