It's totally in their hands if they want it to be. No one is forcing them to use Ticketmaster, there's plenty of other non-shady ticket companies out there. Arcade Fire must be absolutely minted. They can give something back to the fans who got them to that point by making gigs affordable and if that means cutting down on the stage set up etc then so be it. People are going for the music. Turn up, plug in and play. I saw them at Brixton Academy back in the day, they weren't ripping anyone off then so why do it now? Thing is big bands are businesses. It's not just them making decisions, but it also might be them making THIS decision. "Hmmmm.... do I want to sign this contract for £xxk or THIS one for £xxxk?"

What do they do once they’ve nearly succeeded? …create their own touting secondary market with a different name. Disgusting. It should be illegal and banned outright. Absolutely scummy behaviour from ticketmaster and Arcade Fire tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan1984 Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 Unfortunately if people are willing to pay these prices - and it looks like they are - they won’t be going anywhere. We can’t expect any government help with the current culture secretary and cabinet’s lust for money either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly as tickets in that area of the O2 are still available for face from SeeTickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brunty9 Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Bordeaux tickets booked!!! Somewhere there is logic in not paying £80 per ticket for Manchester but instead paying £50 per ticket, £200 for flights and parking and £120 for 2 nights accommodation. 10 year wedding anniversary surprise. 🤪 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Scorcho Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 On the subject of Ticketmaster resale tickets, I have a spare ticket for The Strokes at Lytham Festival in July, and decided to just list it on the Ticketmaster resale platform. I got the confirmation email to say it had been listed as expected but when I asked a friend to have a look to see if they could see this ticket listed on Ticketmaster, it was (and still is) nowhere to be seen Am I being paranoid in thinking that Ticketmaster is not displaying my ticket for sale as there is still regular tickets available? or am I looking in the wrong place?

I had the same issue when selling Michael Kiwanuka tickets. I emailed Ticketmaster who said that in effect that your ticket is in a queue and they typically sell one set of tickets at a time before yours will appear on their page. I guess it's so they can portray that tickets are limited rather than showing a long list of resale tickets. I'd say for high demand gigs, it's worth doing Ticketmaster Resale as they'll sell pretty quickly but for less in-demand, Twickets is the way to go.

Thanks for letting me know. Annoyingly the tickets can’t be transferred from my Ticketmaster account so I can’t list them on Twickets (which would’ve been first choice) I only have the option to resale on their shitty platform.

Yeah I think you're right. With TWOD playing Bristol on the Monday, surely they have to stop by the festival?! And not sure about The Smile but Thom is there at the festival most years so who knows tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, hate to admit it but I think you are right. The pop up gigs did a great job of building up excitement for the new album, but no real reason why they would appear on this side of the world again til they are due to at the end of the summer (thankfully I'll see them then anyway). The Smile if they are free on the Sunday would be my guess since Thom and Jonny have played the Park twice.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Bell is DJ'ing right after that Strummerville TBA, so I've gone ahead and penciled in Ride or the Oasis reunion for that slot. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
