Sometimes its not about the body of work/music released but the what the band does with stardom, how they present themselves to fans and how fans react to them. 

 

Maybe you have a point. But if it's not about the music and they're not seminal musicians, what are they? Fashion icons? Cultural icons? Just plain old celebs?

 

To me, style wise, they're just followers of the Madchester scene, heavily influenced by The Stone Roses and the like. Antic-wise they're tame compared to the punks before them (silly feuds with Robbie Williams etc).

 

They're very "of their time" and the timing of this tour is brilliant for those of us of a certain age who want to re-live their glory days. But taking a step back, are they gamechangers in any way?

Finally bagged some general admission standing tickets for my son. If at first it says there's no tickets available for general admission, keep going, it told me solid for 5 minutes there were none, then bang 4 were available.

 

Still what an absolute nightmare 

 

13,000 ahead of me at 9am, got tickets at 10.54.

watching the people on reddit just discovering that dynamic pricing is a thing is incredible. 

It's clearly not as widespread public knowledge among ticket buying fans as I thought.

 

Take it Ticketmaster added this feature for the Oasis tour? To no doubt many people's sheer horror.

It feels like once you hit the seetickets rate limit refresh it won't let you load the page again

I don't think that can be the case because, although the laptop that I had autorefreshing every 3s on the holding page can't even make a connection now, neither can my phone (on a separate mobile connection, no wifi), which I've only just tried on.

    • Me too.  Reckon they must have more this year.   Not bad is it - ended up paying same price as this year.  It still represents great value for me.  Well, until I check my bank account the Monday after the weekend.
    • Well mayors have more powers to do that sh*t...but they have to make the numbers add up.
    • We'll see. Bristol and Leeds are both massively overdue big public transport investment - 2 of the cities with the worst transport infrastructure per capita in Western Europe. If this works to help support investment projects great and fair play to Burnham.
    • The Bródy Day was his idea because Sziget has always been late when it comes to this kind of concert. They would only organize farewell performances or tribute shows after an artist had passed away. Since Bródy is one of the country's greatest singer-songwriters, they wanted to honor him while he is still alive. (He didn't say it exactly like that, but the man is 80 and has just stopped playing large concerts.) He never understood why anyone would focus exclusively on one generation, especially Gen Z, who have less disposable income, drink less, and are, in his words, "afraid of partying." He explained that in the past, people loved festivals because of the nonstop partying, whereas many younger people today find that experience overwhelming or exhausting. That's one of the reasons why Sziget will introduce more chill zones and sensory-friendly spaces. They also want to attract older generations, who are generally more willing and able to spend money. The Sziget Icons days are aimed at this audience, and in the future they hope to create a more balanced lineup that appeals to people over 35 as well.   It was a long interview. If anything else comes to mind, I'll share it.
