Most expensive ticket I have ever got was when my Black Eyed Peas ticket was bought for me, and Cheryl Cole supported, Will.I.Am did a DJ set on a lifted runway and it was a great show...and that was £60 and £20 for a hoodie. I wouldn't pay much more than that

Think my most expensive was Macca bout £100 after all the fees.

That's the annoying thing, it's always the multi millionaires who charge the high prices. I wanted to see Barbra Streisand last week but the prices were so high.

My most expensive is The rolling stones which came up to 105 inc fees >.< hope its worth it.

Well they do have to pay for there nursing homes, I can understand folks paying for the like of the the stones, macca etc etc as they wont tour/alive for much longer.

Obviously I count bjork as a legendry act.

Never paid over the odds for tickets - but have done overnights and long journeys before to see bands - done a 400 mile round trip to see Badly Drawn Boy and a 600 mile round trip for Vampire Weekend.

Both were thoroughly worth it!

Oh, and on my 18th birthday me and some mates jumped on a train and done 2 x all nighters in 2 nights - Fusion in Milton Keynes on the Friday and Hardcore Heaven in Stevenage on the Saturday - that was a big train ticket expense, but at least I didn't need any hotels!!

      Let's hope you're right - having secret set by Olivia Rodrigo would be huge. It might even overshadow the Thursday trainwreck.   We'll see in a couple of hours.

      Occident has got larger over the years and there's relatively little overlap with mbv and OR fans that I think it would work fine as it would divide the crowd so effectively.   They don't even need to give the biggest stage from an optics perspective either, this would be billed as a secret short set and used to promote her new album.

      Really like this! Few artists a bit low I reckon like the Reytons, Yard Act, the Royston Club and Florence Road but I’d absolutely take this!

      Yeah Olivia Rodrigo walked right past me when leaving the crowd during The Cure set.   I had to escape where I was in the crowd so was just chilling in the bottom left corner when she walked through with a couple of others.    Thought it was her or someone who looked incredibly like her but no-one else seemed to pick up on it, either not bothered or just too engrossed in their own conversations to not notice..
