  1. They are playing Rockaway beach in January so they are a thing at the moment
  2. Didnt they bomb on their last reunion?
  3. Pearl jam tried this years ago but ticket master own / have partnerships with loads of venues so its a full monopoly thing.

    Roxy Music

    Bad bunny. That may not be the name but i cant be arsed to scroll through a thousand posts to see who supre thinks can single handledly save the uk music scene
  5. Captive audience innit. Why sell something for 6quid (total lets say thats what most people would spend a pint on without wincing) with a profit margin of 1.50 for a top end brand when the majority of people would still spend the same 6quid and accept carlsberg or whatever if that's all thats,avaialble. I did end of road - i would not normally buy a 3.8percent ipa at any cost but after finishing all of mine way too early into the weekend i did willingly at 6pound a pint
  6. Yeah sorry. I was just trying to show that everybody's story (i know of several people who travelled to a different county to get tickets kind of thing) is going to be massively skewed on here cos of demographics of this site so all numbers are purely guestimates. And what i was trying to also say is that see coaches are often the ones not overly fit for purpose in real life so where would all the extra coaches and drivers come from? See coach from bristol to Glasgow that day (for example) - sorry passengers we are just adding 4 hours onto your journey cos im dropping someone off at pilton?
  7. Tier 2 sold out now too. Don't know how many are left in total but there is a pay a deposit scheme. If you want to and you can i would suggest going for it sooner rather than later.
  8. Just to point out (mainly cos im awake at 6.30am and feel like ive got a,hangover but havent srunk) , if you extrapolate your figures clarkette that would be a 33percent total of people having to travel to get coaches. However if im totally honest i dont understand the idea being suggested anyway. There are still going to be coaches running to other places during Glastonbury as there always are so where does the pool of coaches available to everyone from exactly where they want come from? I'm sure i'm being dense but i genuinely cant see it. You get 17 people from some small town in devon and 5 from some village north of scotland - do they get their own coach? And all on Wednesday before midday?
  9. Think we will agree to differ here. Someone saying- hopefully ill be ok and i may only be able to afford soup and a roll but i cant see any other choice -doesn't equate to me with- yeah i bloody loved the old days, cant wait for rickets and nits and poor houses.
  10. I can't see anything in that article that says they preferred the good old days. Please highlight it for me.
  11. Could they be at i.o.w festival? Just a thought
  12. Going for cardiff or manchester .not for me. Wouldn't mind but still paying for bruce springsteen tickets and got a wedding to fund so things are starting to get limited.
  13. Had to use your nhs email to register / recieve tickets and show corresponding nhs badge on entry
  14. Just out of interest (cos theyre my go to band) how come you cant Stand any of them?
  15. Jesus. Do you really get upset about a 10 year old track? Ive seen the stones do satisfaction etc the who doing pretty much everything, the kinks , primal scream doing loaded. Pretty much every band doing stuff older than 10 years. I dont get why that's a problem
  16. An argument that will always be around. Almost like a sliding scale of whats ok in direct proportion to how much you like the bands. Beatles/ lennon - wife beater , possibly a killer Stones- definitely under age sex and obviously bill wyman and mandy smith. Led zeppelin- jimmy pages 13 year old girlfriend Roy harper - lists of girls under 15 he slept with John martyn- wife beater / family violence Marvin gaye - wife beater Etc Separating the art from the artist is a personal thing and we all have our own interpretation of what is acceptable. This has always been the case but with the internet and the cancel culture peope are becoming insular on what they think for fear of being told theyre wrong (just my opinion obviously).
  17. Thanks for answering I kind of know all this but struggle putting it into practice. Maybe if i get a ticket i can focus more. And if i fail and cant afford it i give it up in April.
  18. You need to make sure you look after yourself mate before taking on other peoples problems (i know you are a large hearted soul but make sure you are ok. As you know things can overwhelm from nowhere). You are a true gentleman and caring soul but dont give too much of yourself
  19. Yeah ive got about 100quid a month for non essentials cos bad life choices earlier in life so 40quid really bites into it. Dunno. Just wish i could go- ok im saving- but it's such a long stretch of nothing to me that i know ill struggle.
  20. So is that basically a year of doing nothing 'fun"? That would kill me. (Well it would make me so miserable my depression would kick back in and i would wish for death anyway). I know again that its all sorts for all people but my lifestyle at the moment needs little rewards often to keep me vaguely balanced I absolutely take my hat off to anyone who is able to focus on the big one .
  21. Yeah its nothing exciting for me, just alcohol and food. But i do lose control when drinking and get overly generous and also will drink till im incapable of moving, way past a bit pissed. And im inherently lazy so food would not be cooked but bought so 15quid plus straight away there. Im doing e.o.t.r. hoping to do it for 200 all in. Thats the other thing as Glastonbury breeches 300 plus parking then- value as it is- thats almost e.o.t.r plus spending just getting in. Had to sell green man this year- had the settlers pass so 6 days spending would make it crazy money for something that the music wasnt as strong for me as i was hoping for. 2 tix were nearly 600 quid. Would easily break a thousand. Much as i would've love to do everything i cant. Saw a band for 10quid last week and it was brilliant. 2 quid for a coke and free parking cos it was Sunday. A few weekends of this a year will help spread the fun. Still love a drink but upwards of 6quid a pint out now is definitely changing my entertainment pattern. 4 pack before heading out. Busses or walking back. Not taxis. Im lucky my job doesnt normally start til 11 so ive got time to do this but thats 30quid saved before doing anything else.
  22. Think this is partly my problem. I would easily piss thru 100quid a day and wouldnt want to compromise that - i can do what i want- feeling. My issue i know but it would feel a massive compromise to only go with 20quid a day (5 days)
  23. Im pretty much here. Its either qll in for one weekend and the rest of the year would swing between tedium and wanting to hang myself with boredom or its a few things punctuated throughout the year. So sadly with that its time to hang up the idea of going. Yes it can be seen as brilliant value if measured on whats available but i can only be in one place at a time even if there's a hundred stages to be at (plus other stuff).
  24. Ive sold mine on fanticks and just sent the email across. I was more wondering whats to stop me printing tickets and using them if i got to the gate before the person who bought them off me. 🤔 Ive got no intention of doing this obviously but wondered what security there was. I havent opened the ticket pdf bit in case it was an open once only thing
