  1. Doesn't the Cockmill Inn carry a couple of proper ciders too? I seem to remember it used to at any rate.
  2. Beacon does seem an excellent upgrade on the old venue. Was there for The Fast Show the other week. The one thing I'd fault the Academy with is over-selling, I'm sure it doesn't because that'd be a legal nightmare if they got caught out, but taking 200 or so off the capacity would make it more comfortable. Remember when they used to have that horrible grille thing that ran behind the sound desk between the two sets of steps down, that was even worse.
  3. What's so bad about it? Genuinely, can only think of maybe a couple of shows there that have been less than excellent. Granted, I don't use the bars etc. because it's an o2...
  4. Raging. That crumble was perfect to wash down a poutine. Went on the way to QOTSA and went back again for second crumble helpings after them on the Sunday last year.
  5. Or their management, yes. Reality is most bands/artists leave all that stuff to their management. Bruce and Pearl Jam are very disappointing in their use of it, indeed, I think Pearl Jam were the first to take it to mainland Europe.
  6. Damn. Those bags were always a good gift for people wanting something brought back from the festival.
  7. Yeah, it changed somewhen around 2006. I couldn't remember the exact time, but the Wayback Machine always keeps the receipts 🙂 https://web.archive.org/web/20060711041902/http://www.aloud.com/
  8. And for a time after that, was a front end into Ticketmaster for a while too.
  9. Lets hope it never is, but it may be for everything else that See sells 😞
  10. The one thing you can guarantee from this is that Eventim will update See's systems to support dynamic ticket pricing.
  11. If the band is playing a venue below its normal level, they probably will have cut their fee some to make the gig viable for them and for the promoter to be able to make it happen.
  12. Ticketswap is the main one. Have used it without issues on a few occasions.

    Ordered 3 for our group this morning, worked out to £83.45 each. I was expecting them to be around the £100.00 mark. I see Ticketbastard have got their dynamic/platinum f**kery in place, and I don't doubt AXS will do too. Anyone buying in the general sale, See Tickets are selling for some of the venues. Go there to avoid that if you can!
  14. Still can't get my head around Hosepipe being at that level...
