4th date at The O2 added (Monday 8th)

They obviously fancy their chances of selling then if they're adding another.

Let’s see what happens when dynamic pricing kicks in

Wonder if Travis could be at Glasto?

Looking forward to the Twickets resales for this close to the time

[NorthernSoul52]

Top-end tickets obviously expensive, but mine were £45 plus fees for Manchester. Know that will be only finite, but in the current market, was delighted with that.

Definitely twickets resale, can't justify £100+ on one gig. I'm so glad I did my gigging for the most part when things were cheaper.

I was just thinking the same yesterday! Quite relaxed now about missing out on acts I'd normally go see in the past.

My number one band and last saw them in Bristol a couple years back and loved it. 

Think £100 is now the floor these days. 

If they do a secret set at Glastonbury (i can dream), i will sell my ticket

I saw them in Coventry last tour which was superb  so I'm not in desperate need. I am a bit older now too so life priorities change as well. I'm not settling down, but a house and building the future, visiting places in the world are a higher priority.

probably good for my bank balance that I didn't see Travis were supporting before these went on sale...

Yeah the 90's/00's were a goldmine for seeing bands who would go on to be massive for pennies. I paid seven quid to see Killers in Birmingham Academy 2 about 20 years ago, six for Arctic Monkeys in the same venue, four quid for Kasabian.... three future Glasto headliners for under 20 quid.

One hundred pound for the O2 is insane.

When the blink 182 tour got announced my first thought was robbing bast**ds, but really it was just the first of many.

A quick look and the killers don't seem to be flying out the door, I would be tempted with Travis as support, but a ton for a midweek gig is ridiculous.

As I said earlier Muse were charging similar to The Killers too.

Seems stadium bands have twigged that they can charge three figures for arena shows.

[balti-pie]

Yeah, i cant countenance spending £100 on a gig ticket, even if i love the band. The o2 is a crap venue - they could convince me to pay £100 if its a 'stadium' band playing somewhere smaller and good, brighton dome or brixton academy etc, cos that has the right combination of sound, venue, size, accessibility - but there's just nothing good about the o2 or the outdoor stadium nonsenses we get every summer and i'm just plain not shelling out that much. Would far rather see smaller bands in smaller, more intimate venues. 

This is basically the pyramid vs park/woodsies/truth stage headliner argument, but in the real world 😄

[briddj]

So they've added a fifth o2 on the Wednesday but really only the Friday and Saturday have sold well. 

Reckon there will be some cheap Twickets tickets for the midweek ones for sure the days before. 

Added Manchester too so there will be cheap tickets going for those midweeks.

I can get an NHS email address via work. Think I might get one for when these come up on seat fillers.

Yes. In unsurprising news the big artists such as Muse, Coldplay, Killers, Elton, Swift, Madonna et al have realised they can charge more and people will still pay....

I paid £45 for a seat at Elton at the O2 last year.

I wouldn't be surprised if these sold out if they were cheaper. Looking at the grid for Manchester, the £50s/75s are largely gone but those "Best seat" VIP packages that are regular seats at well over £200 are still largely available, which to me looks bananas that this seemed like a good idea.

Makes me feel old that my first ticket to see The Killers in 2009 was about £35. Even seeing a rise from paying £75 for their 2022 stadium show is wild.

When did you book the ticket?

Muse had similar pricing for their O2 shows and didn’t sell either night out.

I got 4 free tickets for that gig through a friend in ticketing because they sold so badly

When the tour was first announced.
