Dark Star

This is the thing with Glasto, someone can play a 60,000 capacity show in London and we're all like, nope, not big enough to headline. 🤣 If she announces the rest of her tour and it's Stevie Sings Fleetwood Mac, rather than the usual mix, that'd absolutely be enough for 90 mins on the pointy one on a Sunday night. The day crowd would eat that up.

These (250) are numbers you're more likely to see from Americans than over here. For some reason our bands seem to be more rigid and always play exactly the same set every night. A lot of US acts either don't work with a setlist or make sure to change a good portion of the show from one night to the next. Get a band that tours often and live in the right place, you could have 10-15 dates that are easily driveable within a couple of hours each year.

Mike Peters? He's supporting them on a bunch of dates this year!

I really thought they'd have got booked for one of the Eden Sessions, either this year or last.

London was £42.33 all in on Dice. See had tickets at £35 (face) plus fees of £3.80... no doubt a transaction fee for the tix too.

Couple of festival shows to promote an autumn/winter tour? We can but dream!

And people think a Glasto ticket is expensive?!

They want £170 or so for golden circle at Hyde Park... I hope all of London's pigeons take roost in the roof before.

The original plan for the tour was 1 night at the Etihad Co-op and 2 nights at the Greenwich o2. Some perspective on those cheapest tickets at the back row of the Co-op.... The Eagles, the greatest lovers of money since money was invented, only charged £75 (£87.08 with fees) - info from See Tickets.

I just looked and it's now showing €225, well done on saving yourself €75 with sheer patience! What a world we live in.

I was lucky(!) to be able to buy accessible tickets for PJ, so between myself and my PA it's "only" £80 each. Have just looked back in on Manchester and dynamic pricing has kicked in everywhere. Floor is now £240 and lowers in 114 will set you back £280. This will be the last time for me. They could have fought back against TM and got all the concessions The Cure managed to, but clearly they're now on the milk run to ensure they stay 8 and 9 figure multi-millionaires. Vedder is apparently worth over $100m.

Is there even enough people in Athy to fill that place? Remember seeing it when stayed there a few years ago, The Frames played in a circus tent at Ballintubbert House. That was a brilliant night.

Them and Amyl & The Sniffers back to back in 2022 was killer. More of that!

Ryan Adams appears to have crawled out from under the rock he'd been hiding under since being cancelled.

It's different, but that's a good thing. Tempted by Hammersmith if the tickets aren't obscene money.

I'm back there for Bruce (Sat) and AC/DC (Weds). Only doing the former because it's the last night of the tour, and, I suspect, the last ever E Street Band show in Europe. Really didn't like the stadium, these are the first tickets I've bought for a show there since.

I nearly bit on that, but figured they'd have a restriction on addresses and it'd get cancelled. Damn.

Thought dynamic pricing wasn't allowed in Ireland? They didn't even think to remove the Front Pitch Standing option from within what they list as "Full Price Tickets" when you click to choose by area, so it's obvious to all what they originally cost.

Saw that tour at Wembley Stadium, halfway back in the top half of the lower bowl, sound was fantastic, which was a surprise to me. I'd seen Bruce there earlier in the summer, and sound was only good once we got as far forward as the back rail to the pit. His sound crew must have taken an age to get everything set up and just right.

This is what Pearl Jam tells 10 Club members about the dynamically priced tickets... PJ Premium: PJ Premium seats are located in a variety of preferred locations and account for approximately 10% of ticket inventory per show. They are priced at market rate to offset increased touring costs while also keeping prices low* for the rest of the ticket inventory. PJ Premium tickets will only be available through Ticketmaster Registration Sale along with regularly priced tickets. * The asterisk was put there by me. For the US, they are cheaper than a lot of the other big names. Notable that there's now only a tenner or so, give or take, between their US, UK, and AUS/NZ prices.

The face value exchange only allowed people to sell tickets for what they paid for them. So 10 club or very early purchase tickets would stay low, anyone who bought dynamic priced amd wanted to sell would have to hope someone was prepared to pay it.

He is the worst on there by far. His only justification can be that it's currently (including him) a 20 piece band. Interestingly, the equivalent tickets outside of the UK/Ireland for him are around the £120 mark. Wonder why they've lumped on for the shows here? The US pit tickets (about 1000 per show) start at around $349 before dynamic, which is utterly obscene.

After all their years of stickering the long-drops, perhaps the festival should reward the hard work of Seize The Day and impose one of their stickers onto the poster!

Definitely! It wouldn't be bad for the festival, from a variety perspective, to have maybe one mega booking top the Pyramid each year and the other two be at around arena level. More variety and interest for everyone, more money to spread around the festival. Also, if a band absolutely smashes it one year on WH or Other, easier to promote them up without them having to be at the same level as your Oldplay's, U2s etc.
