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

Ooh very nice, fancy putting some money my way and I will have Bjork as my picture :D

How much is your Nick Cave ticket?

With booking fee and postage around 50 notes, seeing him at manchester and london.

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!!

      2027 Stage Predictions

      By wro_lap · Posted

      Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible

      Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
