Same here! Hoping for a bit of a celebration for achieving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turned out to be one of my favourite ever gigs so glad I did! (had pretty much the best possible seats) In a soundproofed room with no view of the stage?

It hasn't. Some of the Manchester and London shows still had quite a bit of tickets available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just assumed they had sold out because they added more and more dates to the original run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly have been for the few things I've been to. I don't imagine it's a cheap venue to use for a show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness it's about the same number of tickets as their stadium tour two years ago. But yeah. 3 of the London shows look sold out, 3 others do not.

I don't imagine it's a cheap venue to use for a show Tbf I thought there was a premium when Muse played a very expensive warm-up show there in 2018. Then they did Hammersmith Apollo in 2022 and that was slightly more, so... pfft. St Vincent is pricier than her own Hammersmith show two years ago, but that could just also be partly the fact there's about a dozen different ticket price points available.

-TLR- Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 for some reason Kerry King thinks people will pay £50 to go and see him... can only assume he is banking on people going along hoping to hear a load of Slayer songs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balti-pie Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 I'd not anticipate any Slayer at all at a Kerry King gig tbf - he's an awkward sod at the best of times 😄 his stuff doesnt sound bad at all, quite enjoyed the couple of songs i've heard, but not anywhere near enough to drop £50 on a ticket unless the venue was a hundred yards down the road from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some bloody terrible venues there, if it's gonna be arenas or a sh*t concrete echo box (Plymouth) then Dublin in December it is. If an arena gig is gonna go off, it's gonna be there.

I’ve been 15-odd times there and for the majority they’ve been around £35 but at this point it’s simply impossible to ignore that every venue is just more expensive now. my gig calendar has drastically shrunk because I simply can’t afford it anymore. to me £50 for Fontaines is silly (love the band, the new single is a scorcher). I’ve seen the likes of Dua Lipa, Hot Chip and Everything Everything there - all around £30. Twenty One Pilots circa Blurryface was £30 - obvs 2016 is a different story. Vampire Weekend and LCD Soundsystem were £45 and £50 respectively. the latter two were exception to the rule pre-pandemic. but I guess it just means we have to expect most shows in larger venues to cost about 50% more. which in turn means I’m going to approx 50% less gigs a. quick glance at Dice does indicate almost every show at AP is around £50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
