£94 a ticket for upper tier ELO?

Not sure if you're seeing that as a good thing or bad thing! Seemed about standard, it was £94 or £113 upper tier

Absolutely not a good thing but it's your taste. No hand currently put would get that money without closer seats and standing. Oasis is a rarity but bigger deal

Think the cheapest was about £75 inc fees, then £94, £110, £133 and £160.

 

The frustration there is that while it will be a pristine pop show, it is also purely on-rails and pretty short for what you'd hope - a well-drilled ninety minutes, fat-free but without much more beyond it.

 

If he was carting the full orchestra around with him for it, then sure. But they're still prices that, for what you get, are pretty soft.

 

Supports in the USA included Rooney just doing forty-five minutes. You're not exactly getting plenty of tuneage for those prices - and I say that as somebody who loves ELO.

That said, Oasis may well be ninety and nothing more - though I'd be shocked if you didn't get another ninety combined between Ashcroft and Cast.

Oasis will be close to two hours with top support. There is noother reformation I can think of I'd have paid that for. And before the main sub was added I was considering selling.

You'd hope it'll be close to two hours, but I reckon it'll be closer to an hour-and-a-half.

I don't even want to calculate what I've spent on gigs for next year so far. McCartney in December, Springsteen in May and ELO in July, plus Oasis though I agree their price is what it is, supports I love as well

Well I was considering this but decided against following the Oasis announcement, so it's worked the opposite way than they may have intended for me!

I physically can't afford.

Was going to buy Manic street preachers tickets today but with Doves and Scissor Sisters announcements incoming I’ve held fire on that.

The only act i would go see is Weezer on that poster but I have just never have been into pop-punk really.

You won't regret it.  As you crack on in life you only ever really regret the gigs you didn't go to.

Got ELO, went for upper tier at the back and got some for £94 all in. If I'd wanted, could've got floor or lower tier, with prices up to £160. but all seemed to be going quickly. 

Well, I think it's official - I'm never going to be able to afford to see a 'big' band/artist ever again! Small gigs only for me now!

Echo these sentiments. Regret not taking Motorhead when I had the chance. Did get tickets for a later run, but that was the one that was understandably canned.
