New Muse album

[Paul ™]

tickets sold got money back at least

Same mate, priorities and all that. Used to be 2 or 3 a week now im lucky if I get to 1 a month. Going to see radiohead next week and with ticket, travel, hotel and spends im jot going to have much change out of 200 quid....thats takes alot of explaining with chrimbo fastly aproaching.

Its more like 60 quid aswel once you put the silly add ons on.

[thetime]

Do what I'm doing for it, crash on a friend's floor and steal their food

It's only the big bands that are ridiculous though. Most gigs I go to I pay under £25 inc. fees.

Yup, Radiohead, as much as love their music, have really demonstrated that for all the anti-corporation spouting they have done in the past, that they're no better than anyone else. 70 quid at the O2 is indefensible.

When your the size of Radiohead, you call the shots

Imo Radiohead take the blame for this one

Agree completely with this, I paid half what they're charging on the pre In rainbows tour, cashing in on their fan base massively.

[jump]

Yeah the smaller bands seemed to have gone back down to more sensible levels again, they was creeping up for a bit hitting the 30/35 bracket but seems to have backfired

Couldn't believe Radiohead tickets 70 quid!!! Was tempted for their extra seats but that's just ridiculous!! In 2008 i payed 70 quid to go see Muse at V but at least I got a day festival out of it!

[kaosmark2]

I think the most ridiculous bit of ticket prices is "delivery fees" for box office collection/printing yourself. I get there being a delivery fee when they post them to you (although £4 or whatever is ridiculous for en-masse non-recorded royal mail), but there is no way they should charge for printing off an e-mail.

And booking fee, you would of thought a booking fee would be the same for a 20 quid ticket and a 220 quid festival ticket. Its done on a percentage which is obcene..and then theres the insurance fee you pay if you dont tick the box.

Fucking hell, I saw Gorillaz there and they cost £45 I think, and they had to pay a whole army of artists. I could just about stomach it because of that... £70 for one band is obscene no matter who they are.

[strummer77]

Gorillaz worst gig of my life, when they first came out they played behind a screen all night.

Exactly. A 70quid ticket for o2 with beers and travel, especially as the only other UK gig they're playing is one night in Manchester, some people are looking at 150+ night, or not see them for another 3 years probably

I'm doing Manchester myself. I spend a bit more on travel, but the ticket price is less, and I'll get food and a place to crash from my mate studying at Salford uni.

[Ed209]

luckily I saw them in the states a few months ago (although american arena audiences are shit). They were very good but I've seen them better. Their sets are so TKOL heavy that I'm not bothered about seeing them in London for that price

[kaosmark2]

I quite like TKOL. I last saw them 4 years ago on the In Rainbows tour, so I'm getting pretty itchy about seeing them again.

[Ed209]

I do too, it's grown on me. Not sure it transfers to the live setting as well though

[The Nal]

The 02 drains your cash though. Have to think carefully before I go back, although I enjoyed it a lot.

[kaosmark2]

Arenas suck. Some suck less than others, but all arenas suck.

[strummer77]

O2 in Dublin is the same. Fucking hate it. Shite atmos, shite sound, shite beer, shite to get to. Shite all round.

Really starting to fall for the album after repeat listens.I liked Resistance but it didn't have a 'wow' factor,this does.Really love every track bar Explorers & The 2nd Law duo which are decent album tracks but everything else I'd love to hear in a live setting.
