Hope they do dynamic pricing on you

Radiohead are shit

Well they're not. They're actively trying to deter touts and rip-off merchants. This is a band that released one of their best albums on a "pay what you want" basis in 2007. You could even choose £0.

I bought the boxset for £50, which included an MP3 download, 2 vinyls, 2 CD's, and a book of artwork. It's worth a lot more than £50 now.

I'm not buying. Rather have a weekend away if possible. Not a hard-core Radiohead fan.

Also back to DP - it does actually make things cheaper overall - what Oasis did wasn't strictly DP, it was price hiking. DP is supposed to allow cheaper options - it happens all the time on airlines and travel and people like it, what Oasis did was show how the backend of TM is shite.

We call it revenue management - holding back seats to see the market interest and then releasing at a price the market will sustain, mop up higher purchasers and then release sections at selected pricing through specific agents.

Anyone fancy pop punk nonces Brand New at the Apollo?

Didn't realise they were still a going concern, comments are disabled on all the venues social media accounts probably anticipated the back lash.

Pop punk - now there's a term to make the stomach churn 😉

still, they pissed someone off already

Radiohead announce first tour dates since 2018 – and face boycott from pro-Palestine campaigners

Activists have asked fans to spurn the gigs until the band ‘convincingly distances itself’ from guitarist Jonny Greenwood performing in Tel Aviv during the Gaza war

Oh well. Can't please everyone. At least it means a few less people will be registering for tickets.

1992 tour? Kingmaker - now there was a great band. Queen Jane, Ten Years Asleep. Loz Hardy wrote some of Eleastica's songs as well.

1992 sounds about right. Huddersfield Poly

Got tickets for Babyshambles in Liverpool and Leeds. If you thought Pete Doherty had put weight on since kicking heroin then have a look at Mick Whitnall...

Got Bearded Theory tickets for next year too.

I’m looking for two tickets for Lewis Capaldi at the Coop on 20th September for my lad and his girlfriend.

If you know of anyone selling please let me know.

Cheers

I did Festwich a few times. It was very good then. It had a great atmosphere. Unfortunately it's a victim of its own success and that unique atmosphere it once had has been eroded over the years. Festwich has gone the same way as Monsters Of Rock at Donington. 

Less is more.
