Do the prices change with the tier changes? I got Nick Cave APE ones quite late in the year last time and wasn't sure if I was paying more/less than the original release price.

Given there are tiers listed it likely will, maybe go up £10-15 tops though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks You create an account with axs who are one of ticketmasters biggest rivals. Your tickets will be an eticket within the app. Unlike ticketmaster, ticket transfer (in my experience) is open a lot more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyRaver Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 20 hours ago, xxialac said: Or the other way of looking at is that older people are richer, having not been screwed over like the younger generations and that we are in a cost of living crisis, exacerbating everything. Plus most of the bands that sell had their heyday when the 40-somethings (and 50-somethings even) were young. I repeat, there will obviously be more days, it's inconceivable there won't be for example a day on Saturday 26 of a long bank holiday weekend, having used the site the day before. That’s a bizarrely simplistic way of looking at it - I’m definitely in the Gorillaz and Strokes age demographic, and I can’t afford to buy a house where I live. Whereas I saw plenty of rich young kids at Field Day… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are facts that point to older people attending festival (e.g. in 1997, the average age of people at Glastonbury was 26, by 2019 it was 49) and living standards have not gone up in a very long time, whilst house prices/rent increases have seriously squeezed younger people.

Whereas there are now loads of 20-somethings who are property owners because they are being bankrolled by ‘the bank of mum and dad’. Do some research into the economic prospects of millennials.

If you are arguing that a higher proportion of young people are buying their homes compared to previous generations, you might as well be denying climate change because you are arguing against the data. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
