Hes just one of the lads but. To be fair, I agree. I'd suspect the price of them is to make up for the little fee that Glasto are giving him. We have £200 in the 3 headliners alone with nothing else, although I'd say more like £150 when you take into consideration that at their own gigs you could be much closer or sitting an have a bit higher view etc. Though with the Gibbs and Gaga additions the rest of the acts are extra.

dentalplan Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 'High ticket prices' is such a weak thing to throw at him in the ritual grievance with a headliner. Makes the "Adele complained about paying taxes" complaint seem almost valid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubber Soldier Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) I'm not against him headlining. He's a massive booking for the festival, even if I think he's tawdry. I seperately have an issue with him presenting himself as being all about the fans, and against high tickets prices and secondary selling sites, when in actuality he's anything but.

I thought that quote he made that people kept dragging up was ages ago? But anyway, that's fair as long as it's acknowledged that loads of artists are against touting but also not against money. 7 minutes ago, henry bear said: What about via Spotify? Pshh Ed's album won't be on Spotify until the cashola from sales has bought him at least a few more farms. Or a giant farm for the giant Sheer-pig.

Just because he hasn't stopped tickets being sold out personally doesn't mean he's in favor of it happening. There are all sorts of gigs at various prices from £40, 50 60 by people that haven't put a cap on it. It's easy for you to attack him as you don't like him.

I'd say people are maybe a bit less certain than they might have been a few weeks back, but she dropped a big hint in an interview and there are seemingly a few other indications.

Side note, I'm surprised so many big acts still put their new albums on Spotify on release day. After you see the impact it had on Taylor Swift and Adele's sales (don't get me wrong, I know they'd have sold huge volumes regardless), I'm surprised more don't follow suit with a delayed streaming release.
