Smiley Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 £100+ for Justin Timberlake. My touting days backfired. Couldn't sell the tickets - ended up having to go myself. What a crock of shit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Faustus Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I've done the same, woke up to an email and thought fuck... I tend to use Twickets: would've like to seen muse, but reckon I'll pay £65 for Metallica. Paying £50 at the gate v QPR on the opening day off the season broke my heart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leyther_Matt Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Paid £6.50 for Rod Stewart tonight. Nearly cost as much for a steak pie on the concourse (£4 btw, hope BWFC get to keep the money!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DirtySanchez Posted June 15, 2019 Members Share Posted June 15, 2019 Paid £150 for two tickets for mamma Mia despite the fact I fucking hate abba It was years ago and was seeing a girl who wanted to go. I needed the brownie points to go to Chelsea away a couple of weeks later - the one we won when Terry scored the last minute own goal There is no price you can put on the mental torture I had to go through watching that absolute fucking awful play and putting up with the music then people doing the conga round the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was happy enough with my mozzarella and tomato ciabatta for something different. No Carrs Pasties or hot dogs though, buttered or otherwise.

stevieb Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I paid £109 each for Paul mccartney at MEN. Doubt I ever want to pay more than that for owt else. Would pay up to 150 for macca or stones I reckon. No one else I haven't already seen is worth 35 quid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quid to watch David Bowie at the Hardrock in Stretford in 72 and you could stay in the same venue and watch Edwin Starr for the later concert.

I don’t know whether it’s become a myth in my own head but I’m pretty sure I paid in the region of £20 for a single bottle of Carlsberg in a nightclub in Malmö (not entirely unbelievable seeing as one of the pubs was offering £7 pints as the bargain of the century). That was the signal that it was time for going to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 300,000 applications within the first hour of the month long process though so I think majority of that money is safe... Applied for all London games, just had am email to say I've got 2 tickets for the 2nd semi final Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
