Isn't Madge a massive Anglophile from her time here with Guy Ritchie? She'll be well aware of the festival and its cultural status. Can easily see it happening one day, similar to Elton where everyone previously thought money was an issue. She's worth nigh on a billion dollars, she doesn't need the fee but I can imagine the cred and publicity wouldn't go amiss.

I’m sorry but if you pay that £400+ you deserve the earth to swallow up and consume you - one 2 hour show for £400? Talk about getting mugged off.

 

I remember when gigs were fairly priced and people could actually afford to go to then. Nowadays it’s just ridiculous.

 

im 35 - by the time I die it’ll be £200 for pub gigs at this rate!

Unfortunately as long as people keep paying these kinds of prices, which they will, then they’ll continue to go up. I’m sure there will have to be some kind of breaking point eventually, but I don’t think we’re close to it yet.

It’ll sell out, which shows people can afford to pay it. 

Can’t think of a single act I’d pay £400 for personally, maybe a reformed Daft Punk at a stretch, but while others continue to shell out, prices will continue on this trend unfortunately.

I’m not sure that’s totally true. Don’t underestimate the craziness of Madge fans. One I know definitely can’t afford that but would sell a testicle to be able to!

Theres a thread on the Madonna sub which has people posting what theyve spent or be willing to pay. Somebody dropped 3 grand total on 7 gigs. Also saw somebody else asking about ticket transfer because their friend didnt have enough space on their credit card to get tickets.

And then people wonder why prices are so high. Won't be long before all gigs are solely for the well off. I mean we are practically there already.

Well the true test is in a few hours here when everyone has access to the presales with generic passwords and platinum pricing kicks in along with dynamic. How fast will these gigs sell out and how many will they add is the whole deal. These people think this is like the Taylor Swift massacre when its really just another everyday arena tour onsale.

 

i mean its kinda happened with whats avail. But they didnt sell all the tickets yet

Mate just posted on our WhatsApp group that he logged into the Live Nation presale and there were 66,000 people in front of him in the queue.

That’s three O2’s worth of demand alone, and the Live Nation sale isn’t even that well publicised.

Only 3,100 ahead of me when I got in the queue - got through really quickly from there and nothing available at all.  Even checked the silly price tickets and nada!

Crazy isn't it. I got in the queue on the slim chance there'd still be some of the cheap tickets left when I got to the front. Still 20k people ahead of me!

    • 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
