I remember one song called Unconditional on FIFA 05 or 06 (not sure which) that was nice but didn't lead to me being up for checking out more, and Brandon Flowers being oddly bitchy about them. But that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingbadger Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 More expensive to see one Madge gig with floor seating than to go to Glastonbury. Mad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungo57 Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 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! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Hugh Jass II Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Before the gig starts and I have to go to my cheap seats I’m hoping to get close enough for a look at the sort of person who pays 400 quid for a gig ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprefan Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 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 Edited January 19, 2023 by Suprefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass II Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!
