Peebo Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 14 hours ago, Ulysses said: I've never seen Coldplay, but I haven't been cool in years so I will in August. Couldn't get tickets for Taylor Swift, though. To be fair, twenty years on I’d probably open the curtains to watch Coldplay if they were playing in my garden. Age gets to us all. And I’d definitely go to see Taylor Swift. A few years spent in Texas means I’m a fan of the sort of pop-country style which marked her early years, and quite like the recent stuff. I’d just looked at her with my ears plugged for the stuff in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have paid that, and maybe even a few quid more, but I had to draw the line at "special experience" tickets for €780+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong. I could have paid it but I refused to be ripped off. Same with Pearl Jam at £160 for Manchester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the excellent Nearly Dan (Steely Dan tribute) at La Belle Angele on Friday and the wonderful Andre Rieu in Glasgow on Saturday - home for a few hours then back along the M8 for the semi final.

I'm another that baulked at the £200 tickets for Nicks. It’s Springsteen I just don’t understand. A man who has made his name and fortune championing the working classes, the downtrodden. People down on their luck. The unemployed. Vietnam vets etc etc £265 a ticket from Day 1 Bruce WTAF Is that all about. !! (plus he’s at least 15 years past his best work, some would say much longer) Another thing. My wife liked Christina Aquilera and I got her row 6 tickets for the Hydro last time she toured. This was a few years back. £129 a pop. She came on 55 minutes late. Did a 73 minute set. Some of it Lip synced. Clearly didn’t want to be there. No engagement with the audience. No encore. Not as much as a thank you for financing the cookies and hot dogs I’ve been stuffing my fat face with for 10 years. My wife hasn’t listened to her since.

Costanza Posted Wednesday at 19:01 Share Posted Wednesday at 19:01 Got tickets for Pet Shop Boys at Koko in London at end of May. Already seeing at Hydro but opportunity to see them in a small club venue too good to turn down. There was a BBC1 Imagine program on them last night which is well worth a watch.

I've not been in there in a long time, when I'd pop in after seeing a film over the road. Nowadays I go to the Omni or Fountain Park.
