Presumed these would be limited to less than 1000 so snatched up a few tickets first thing, but they’re already over that number so perhaps not as limited as I first thought. It must really be struggling to turn to this though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens a lot at British Summer Time. Was it Blur where they had to sell off loads of tickets for a fiver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Queen would be a decent draw but the fact they had a gig in Glasgow so recently and were announced so late on has probably caused slow sales.

Texas are a poor sub-headliner too - last time they played t in the park they were 3rd or 4th down on the NME stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus there's probably only a maximum number of fence-sitters who're willing to take a gamble on the Adam Lambert show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart1000 Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Queen’s current demographic probably aren’t the sort who would normally attend TRNSMT either. Queen with that undercard probably would’ve sold well in a Stadium but I can see why it hasn’t gone down well for TRNSMT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devilman Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Queen + AL confirmed, if it was ever needed after Sonisphere, as the worst festival headline draw ever. This is their last UK festival for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans of not-really-Queen want to see them with all the creature comforts, and not no creature comforts. The way this was priced will make it interesting. If ticket sales have been so poor they are giving away half price normal tickets, the golden circle or whatever it’s called is going to look prerty daft if it’s half empty. Be difficult to remove the more expensive vip bit and just open things up as normal as some will have paid a premium price to be nearer the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still see a lot of KISS patches and T shirts at Download. You don't see any Queen ones. Queen were just a bit too mainstream to appeal to the Download massive I reckon. Personally I'd take Queen every time over that crappy disco band but hey that's just me. I'm hoping Adam Lambert doesn't annoy me too much at TRNSMT seeing as I paid full price.

Maybe a little unfair to use that metric seeing as KISS are the kings of the merch game but perhaps you're right. If Q+AL struggle to draw in their own fans to festivals and KISS are fairly popular with cats already inside the gates then I suppose they could well win out.

It costs £50 for the night and seems quite nice and know availability is low in accommodation. If you are interested message me. Wanted to offer before cancellation.

I made a playlist in prep for sunday, should about cover their set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
