bucko Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 I tried for manchester but all they had left was front row for £125 each. Just couldn't bring myself to pay that so i'll keep checking the fan to fan sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacquelineS Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) I got my tickers this morning. But what bothers me is, all the secondary sites such as StubHub are full of tickets at huge prices before the common man (or woman) is allowed to purchase them. And on top of that they push Google analytics or whatever it is to get top listing on your search so that you can easily mistake them for the original sales outlet. Tickets on these sites were going for over 700$. I bought very good tickets for 145$. The seat right next to mine is on sale on the secondary market for over 400$. By the way David Byrne, man!

They said sorry about not getting through but try main sale didn' mention my comments about their resale site .....anyway managed to get 2 on main . Resale sites r a disgrace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacquelineS Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Hey crodiles, Ticket Master is the main ticket seller here as well. There were lots of available tickets once I got on but you really have to be on it once they do go on sell to the general public. I kind of screwed up for the Foofighters and could not get decent tickets although I did get tickets. But there were tons of tickets available on the secondary market for huge mark ups. All these secondary sellers are legalized scalpers pretty much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tevaburger Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) I'm catching the Newport Folk Festival this summer and if EFests did a 'rumours' list for that festival (the only US festival with the history or longevity similar to Glastonbury, albeit on a much smaller scale) David Byrne would be a 'SR' with another festival date on the Friday nearby and then up the US coast on the day after, so I'm pretty sure I'll be seeing him there. But, keeping the Heads theme strong this year, I just came back tonight from a book reading/discussion at a famed NY bookstore where drummer Chris Frantz was interviewing fellow CBGB veteran frontman Richard Lloyd of Television, reading questions from a sheet of paper he had. Tina Weymouth was in the front row asking a few questions of her own as well (Chris says to her "oh, you brought a list too?") - Intro lines by Chris "We used to do double bills together at CBGB's" and "By the way...neither of us are high at the moment!" - managed to get my Stop Making Sense autographed. He said his greatest post-Talking Heads accomplishment was he and Tina taking turns posting for years as Mike99 without the Neil ever knowing it was them.

As you're doing photos of Chris, here's mine (from about 15 years ago, now) ... which outdoes yours, because the picture-taker was Jarvis Cocker (yes, really).
