  1. In truth, you shouldn't force anything into any slot...
  2. I'd make the assumption that the "just browsing" votes are people who do not have tickets but want to see the results, therefore of the ticket holders, you're looking at 19% passing up their tickets.
  3. I swerved on Bruce last summer simply because of the price. Another element at play is the "last chance to see..." factor which is the case with Bruce and AC/DC this summer. Not definitely the last tour for these guys, but potentially the case and so people will pay. Pearl Jam will defo tour again, so I don't mind missing them for a show or two.
  4. Maybe. I would have been tempted though...
  5. Remember this from last summer. Def Leppard and Motley Crue at Wembley. This is what happens when you price out your own fans. i hoped scenes like this would have triggered a rethink by the industry, but it seems they're doubling down.
  6. I remain utterly appalled by these Pearl jam prices. 2022 we paid £70 per ticket or £120 for 2 shows. I don't know how they can justify more than doubling the ticket price in just two years. For the time being I am out. Maybe pick up something on the secondary market closer to the day. Also keen to see Springsteen and AC/DC this summer, all similarly priced. Tickets to see stadium acts have indeed become a luxury item.
  7. f**k that. Pretty sure I paid less than that for Hyde Park '22, and saw TWO shows.
  8. PJ in London on Glastonbury Saturday at Spurs. Surely in contention for headliner. ”not big enough….” “Only their fans like them….”
  9. Sorry guys. This is news to me.... Hadn't seen an announcement. Carry on as you were, ignore me.
  10. Line up has been expanded. Nothing mind-blowing for me, but Pretenders, Marr and Feeder are reliable festival performers I'd be happy to catch - hopefully they don't clash with anyone else. This line-up is mega Radio 2 friendly, and maybe that's the market they're going for so hard to get excited by it being cutting edge or anything. But in that niche they've done very well indeed and this is the best line-up they've had for a few years. I'm looking forward to it.
  11. Thank you. It just so happened that I was watching Youtube vid about AI tools and then saw the ongoing discussion after @The Nal's original poetry, and @Quark's suggestion. I wanted to try it out anyway, and this felt like a fun way to do it. https://fakeyou.com is the place to go for the voice. I edited it easily enough in Premiere to create a video. My first attempt got blocked by Youtube because I had some authentic Shawshank tune in the background. So I quickly improv'd and recorded the backing track myself.
  12. O2 in Bristol beer is now about £8. I'm sure it was under £7 just a year ago. The massive price rise has been so quick, some of the out of date bar price signs were still up when i last went.
  13. I wonder if the shock at the general rise in pricing is shared only by those of us who have been around for a while. I remember buying tix for stadium gigs for £25 (in the 90s), which even if counting on inflation is way less than the £100+ which is now standard. But is it possible that for twenty-somethings, this is just the normal cost of doing business. Expensive for sure, but worth it for the experience. Is this one of the curses of growing old - we remember how cheap things used to be, and even if we can afford the higher prices, we cannot shake off the feeling that we're being robbed?
  14. I spoke to Morgan and he was happy to help...
