Rodders Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 ticket prices surely mkae more sense with concerts. they are one off and special! football is every other bloody week. £55 still a bit OTT especially for a bunch of useless inept tosspots, but I have no issues at all shelling £30-40 out for a band I'd really like. I'm only watching them once, not 19 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellyoakvilla Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 The kind of gigs I go to are no more than around £15, most of them are no more than £10 and some are even less than £5...what you want to do is find some underground bands which don't have huge fanbases, then you can afford concerts on a daily basis let alone weekly, monthly or yearly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 oh i used to go to them all the time, my favourite gigs they were. Gogol Bordello in a bristol pub for a fiver easily my favourite gig, but seeing an established band with a good back catalogue playing live for £40 is fair enough. Especially since I probably haven't paid as much for the albums as I could / should have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa_Rosa Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Both Taj Mahal, and Gary Louris and Marc Olsen from the Jayhawks are playing on the same night, at different stages, at the Sage in Gateshead. Seen them both before, both brilliant and swore that I'd travel anywhere in this country, and possibly beyond, to see either again only to find both are on my doorstep on the same night! Holy dilemma! Gone for the Jayhawks lads in the end. Asked our lass if she wanted to come and see Gary and Mark, and she thought I meant those Manc Monkeys from Take That. No hope for her I'm afraid.

Stoneyroo Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 AC/DC at Wembley last night were incredible. I had hoped my first visit to the new Wembley would be to see Villa, but alas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 NME were speculating that jacko tickets will become collectors items, much like the 1994 nirvana tour that never was tickets which they said can fetch a good price, personally i think there are too many in circulation for them to ever be worth more than face value, but it'd be interesting to know how much 1 is worth in 20 years time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, last night was just brilliant. Great band, great venue, great seats and I got to have a chat with them and get them to sign a couple of CDs afterwards. I got to meet two of my musical heroes who wrote the songs that were the soundtrack to my late teens and early twenties - songs which I've turned to during good times and bad for nearly 20 years. I'm still buzzing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
