If Edward cared as much about his fans as he claims too he wouldn't have allowed the prices to be set so high. 

 

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.

His ticket prices have absolutely nothing to do with Glastonbury.

'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.

Got to agree with that and I'm not a fan.

[Rubber Soldier]

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.

Same as most artists then. Especially Thom Yorke.

What about via Spotify?

Very true. Ed's been pretty vocal about it recently though, so he's an easy target.

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.

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 did! I'd written it off as a lost cause but then someone posted on here that people outside were getting let in (i only live 3 miles away) so i went back on the off chance and got in! Will be making a donation to efests when i get paid as it wouldnt have happened if it wasnt for this site

What time did you get back to the cheese and grain for? 
If its after 6:45pm I might blow my brains out as that's the time I would of arrived if I didn't sack it off.

So do people think Gaga is playing then? I've somehow missed this.

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.

The real tragedy is that this fuckin mug saw fit to clash Whitney and Real Estate. Stupid. Everyone knows they're both playing Park anyway.

I posted that in the wrong thread. So now I just look like a rambling lunatic. There was a point to that post, honestly.

The ballet?

I am actually going to a ballet for the first time in a fee weeks, and ever since it was booked I cannot get this scene out of my head and chuckle to myself.

I don't think it's going to be for me.

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.

It's OK Shuttle.  I dealt with the shock by drinking too much and kicking a puppy around.  Felt better for that.
