For now.

Pretty much. 
 

i mean this shows that the apparent iron clad consumer laws for tickets are being slowly but surely eroded via loopholes and such. You want to get upset about an early entry package, vip and all that? Well, thats the artist and their management making those choices on how to generate more income.

I'm aware this has been the case in the US for a while, what with John Oliver's show doing a big piece on Ticketmaster or with my experience of finding nothing for Muse at Madison Square Garden in NYC in April for less than $160 when I was briefly thinking of going on a trip there and the dates happened to coincide (even if New York has a reputation as being one of America's most expensive places to do anything). But there's also the nature of going "Well, if these tickets are going for crazy money on second hand sites, why don't we try to match the market?" plus obviously inflation in venue hire/staffing/energy and the lack of income for 20/21.

There's a lot of factors I guess. I can still find it a bummer though.

twickets is going to be excellent. almost bought for FV too!

I'm more used to Twickets being a place for stadium or park shows than arenas, given I got Pulp, Muse and AM tickets through that route but not for Paramore.

Or at least that's what I'm hoping for as my way in for seeing Foo Fighters.

Christ, I love them but 6 O2s seems a bit much. Especially considering I don't think anyone else has really listened to the last couple of albums. Will def try for a couple on Twickets

Putting it as a Greatest Hits tour is pretty genius, as if it'll be any different to the previous shows which were pretty much that anyway

6 nights at the o2 is 2 stadium nights, just spread over 6 days

Paramore did 40k iirc?

Who is buying all these Killers tickets???

I suspect that quite a few are bought by touts hoping to sell them on at a profit? I also suspect that they might lose out. Hopefully.

Probably - don't think anyone expected it to get up to 6 dates!

Not even close, it seems. Editors are playing in tents nowadays. 

The Killers are actually an undisputed headliner worldwide though - unlike Editors who can't sell 5k in London these days!

They did 2 nights, which is about 16-20k per night depending on how many get in through Greenwich's doors. If 4 nights is about the same as one at Wembley, then 6 is absolutely a big run.

quote from Brandon flowers.....

Maybe you could pop up at Glastonbury again?

“Yeah, sure!”

....Makes it seem like it isn't out of the question.

Was just gonna post that.

Seems like there's a lot going on independent of any Glasto visit tbf, with confirmation of small venue shows to mark Hot Fuss' 20 years anniversary and that Brandon is planning to release a solo album in 2025.

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
