Hoping that plus the last minute announcement will put a few people off and make it easier to get a ticket..

£40 odd for The Reflektors too, wasn't it? Bit of a pisser.

Think it was about £45 for Reflektors if memory serves...

So yeah, 30+% in 4 years ain't t'rrific. Though they kept the Earl's Court ones cheap. Quite a bit more than the other UK dates, right? You'd be hoping for some good support/one helluva show, regardless.

Yeah, my 4 Sc**thorpe tickets came to £202 including fees n stuff (dunno if there were less fees due to me buying them in person, obv didn't have to pay for delivery), so £50.50 each.

Gigs, particularly in London, are getting really expensive. Arcade Fire are probably one of the few who give you your money's worth to be fair.

Just to compare to another intimate show that was announced today: Linkin Park in Brixton Academy is over £70!

[bocumaroy]

It's too expensive but I'm a bit desensitised to the prices now, aside from the issue of whether I can afford it. Think all expensive gigs are problematic to an extent so it seems futile deciding where to draw the line. Preparing myself for the disappointment of not getting a ticket anyway.

If there's a good/any support (think there might not be) and it's a proper full-length set (surely will be) then it's not really comparable to the Reflektors gigs.

Edit: £7.50 is definitely the most I've ever paid in fees though.

New song on Friday: 

 

[cloudb]

it was only £76 for 2 tickets for the Hackney gig.  I think I felt ripped off because you had to have bought The Suburbs in advance to even be in with a change of getting tickets.  In hindsight it doesn't seem too bad.

Compare to another intimate one: I'm seeing Gorillaz on Friday for £30.

Artists can charge less if they want to.

[cloudb]

They're clearly choosing these small intimate venues over the bigger venues to appease hardcore fans as opposed to maximising revenue on a tour.  

I don't understand why they just don't take the hit and put them on at or below 'market rates' if they're 'for the fans'.

Surprised no one's told Regine she's been playing the umbrella all these years..

Think it's a bit pointless comparing prices to other acts without knowing their overheads etc, but it is odd that it's £10 more than the other two gigs. 

Not particularly excited to hear the new song. :-/

exciting!

Two tickets for Wednesday without any issues. This past month has killed my bank account with all the gigs announced.

[broken monkey]

Not a sniff  

[evilduck]

Two for Tuesday, wheeeeeee

[Nudges]

 I got straight in and they had sold out before I had the chance to tell them I’m not a bot - outrageous.

fuck

[Justiceforcedave]

Got two for Tuesday!

[Al2006]

were these just on ticketmaster? how did i miss this and the gorillaz announcement  bloody line up being announced and all that

[majormajormajor]

My mate got two for Tuesday - seats though. Knowing the venue (I used to use the gym when I lived around there), it's probably one of the rare times where the seats are actually good to have! It's so fucking small.

[reflekting]

I'm going. I can't wait, been listening to the Pyramid set to get hyped.
